The reason I lost interest in tonight's episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I feel that Rachel, Ross, Chandler and Monica and Rachel's sister stayed on the who gets the baby topic too long. It became tired after a while listening to who wanted the baby if Rachel and Ross died. I decided to turned off the TV but then i left it on and saw that middle school fight between Rachel and her sister. The grade for this episode in my opinion is a D+.

I thought this episode was very funny. Sure the whole who gets the baby thing was carried out for awhile but the fight was funny. And when Chandler broke the plates, I can't even believe they made him do that. I seriously gasped out loud when it happened. This was definatly one of the best episodes so far this season.

The first ten minutes were good, but the next ten after was so dull-i was like will they ever get off the topic of who gets the baby. The fight was kind of funny but that dull middle makes this episode overall below average.

"Friends" is famous for their Thanksgiving episodes and this one is the worst.I just wasn't interested enough in the plot line and the fact that it DIDN'T air on Thanksgiving was another reason I didn't like the episode PLUS Amy came off as a slut.In past episodes it was said that she was the agressive one who bit Rachel.They never said she was a ditzy,stupid,full-blown Kelly Bundy ripoff!

My Rating:D-

Yes I agree with you about the show not airing on Thanksgiving. I see no reason why it didn't since Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and Friends come on Thursday nights. Yes but this episode really was below average.

I thought it was funny. And Christina Applegate is so good at playing stupid...he he... Anyways, IMO this was the funniest episode this season so far. And I looked at next week's TV guide....And the Thanksgiving episode from last year (w/Brad Pitt) is airing. Which makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

IMO the episode was the best so far this season. I'm still not happy, though, with some of the writing (did I miss the episode where Joey had the lobotomy). Christina Applegate was good but I'm surprised that she would be willing to play that kind of Bundy character again. The baby stuff is just boring, period. Did they mention where Phoebe's new boyfriend was?

I really enjoyed this episode, It was by far the funniest one this season. They did focus a lot on the baby, but on the other hand Courteney was so funny in it, imo, I think she deserves an emmy for this episode. If NBC still wants viewers for their Thursday night I think they should do a spinoff focusing on Amy Green. I think it would be very funny and by time she would become less snobby and rude, in the same way that Rachel did.

At least Kelly Bundy was nice. Applegate's Friends character was unbearable for me anyway.

I think the Friends people were responsible for "Jesse", Applegate's sitcom that bombed a couple years ago. So we already know that her as a single mom-type wouldn't work. Although it all of course comes down to writing.

I did not like the episode AT ALL!!!What is an apothecary table anyway? I could not figure it out. I did not like the look of the table. I can tell you I would not want that table in MY apartment. Plus what's up with Monica's hair these days???

So did I, lol. I get so into these...I gasped and then I burst out laughing. I LOVED this episode, I thought it was the best one all season so far. And how Amy thought Phoebe's name was a "noise"....oh god...

flutterby01 · 11-23-2002, 12:59 AM

I thought this episode was great, probably the best episode this season. The whole "Who will get Emma" thing was a little dragged out, but it was still funny! I also gasped out loud when Chandler accidently knocked over the plates too, and actually covered up my mouth in shock! LOL! I guess I would completely freak out like Monica if that ever happened to me! It wasn't as Thanksgiving-y as past Thanksgiving episodes, but that's ok!

I really enjoyed the episode. My favorite parts throughout were when Pheobe was trying to teach Joey to lie. The whole "Raccoon" thing was hilarious

I get really into the episodes too, but not as bad as my bro did with this ep. When Chandler broke the plates he freaked out and was like, "OMG, that's like a cliffhanger!"

Amy thinking Phoebe's name was a noise was funny too but just the way Phoebe was saying it it did sound like she was making a noise.
