What gives?

I guess I'll have to start a new discussion. Something exciting and topic-worthy. Something... ah, screw it.

If you could change one thing about the show, what would it be?

For me, I would have had Monica & Chandler hook up a few seasons later than they did. After they got together, there were so few Joey & Chandler moments and I always missed those. They were my favorite "couple" on the show.

You're probably expecting me to say never have Ross and Rachel get together (which I would say).... but that's not number 1.

Get rid of Phoebe!!
They should have had someone different as the sixth friend, she never did anything for me.

I was, actually. We're just gonna have to disagree on that one.

Phoebe, yeah, she was often the weakest link on the show. Lisa Kudrow was great as her, but sometimes she could be hilarious and other times kind of irritating. I always preferred her in the earlier seasons, though. She became kind of a ditzy bitch in the later years.

I think Lisa Kudrow would have great.... if they made her character more interesting.

I agree with all those three - no Ross and Rachel, more Chandler and Joey and no Phoebe.

Something else I'd change (and this goes along with having Chandler and Monica get together later)...MORE JANICE. I thought she was hilarious.

I think I said somewhere once that they should have had Janice be the sixth Friend (instead of Phoebe)

Janice kicked so much ass.

I think having her around constantly would have gotten irritating, though (yes, more irritating than Phoebe). I know she was supposed to be irritating, but she'd constantly risk crossing the line between funny irritating and "throwing the remote at your TV" irritating.

I hope Janice continues her annual appearance tradition and stops by "Joey" sometime.

That would be so funny to see Janice stop by!!

slackermonkey · 10-14-2004, 06:04 PM

I kind of doubt it will happen, though how awesome would it be if Janice lived up to her promise to Joey? "That's 2 out of 3."

I thought of that when that episode aired, but I realized Alex said nice girl (not woman, making me think the person is in their early-to-mid 20s) and didn't mention anything about a family.

Personally, I think it was just an excuse to use that "hope it's not someone I slept with and never called back" joke.
