Wouldn't they be better served to have the entire cast on JOEY. Joey isn't exactly a hit - and that would certainly bump ratings. For sweeps week, each "friend" could come out to LA and visit Joey..
Another amusing thing would be to put Joey up for a sitcom which is exactly like friends but have him not get it because he doesn't fit in. They could have a lot of fun playing with look alike/people similar to those in friends and have plenty of in jokes.
Craig, that's brilliant, but probably too late for Joey's sake.
So Craig, you're not a writer in Hollywood because...
Because I am writing.. here.. on BWW :)
Start pitching ideas, Craig! good lord!
Perhaps one day I will post my "treatment" of a sequel to the off-broadway musical Bat Boy: The Musical, entitled "Bat Boy II: Shelley's Revenge"
Quite amusing
oh my. We might need strong drinks at hand to visit that.
That would be very interesting.
Not that we don't love you here, Craig, but you could be getting me to watch tv again if you were writing for sitcoms, I tell you.
not to threadjack - but it's funny really only if you're familiar with the original. I have it at home.. will post tonight perhaps
Can't wait for it!

"I'll admit I still cringe any time it's a Marcel episode"
I agree. What were they thinking with that?
i've heard about that and oh my godd im so excited!! I LOVE friends
There's something to be said for leaving at the top of your game. Although I was never a HUGE fan, I think that Friends did exactly that. To try to do new episodes cheapens its legacy, at least to me.
You could write the theme song, Kringas!
like many of you, i'm not sure how i feel about this. I love Friends, and was crying when it ended, but i'm nervous if it might come back. i think they should just leave well enough alone.
didn't they all die at the end?
the eyes of central perk's upon us all the livelong day...

Thank you, Addy.
I wonder (And again, this is all still provided this is actually true. After the Brendan saga ... Well, you were all there) if they're excited about it. Or if it was just like:
Courteney Cox: Hey Lisa Kudrow, are you excited about coming back?
Lisa Kudrow: (shrugs)
Courteney Cox: What about you, Jennifer Aniston?
Jennifer Aniston: Eh, it's five million bucks. And at least I don't have to get pregnant in real life.
David Schwimmer: And I can use this money to go back to the theatre!
Matthew Perry: You said that when the show ended last time, David Schwimmer. I don't think the theatre wanted you back.
Matt Le Blanc: Are they at least gonna call it Joey and His Five Friends?
Matthew Perry: If I'd gotten the spin-off none of this would have happened.
fin
lol. that is great Kringas.
I personally liked James Michael Tyler ("Guther"). I mean, he got a lucky break. he was the only extra who know how to work the cappuchio machine. and then he was in 57 episodes. that is cool!

Are everyone's favorite "Friends" ready to return to TV?
Rumors were swirling over the weekend about a "Friends" revival on NBC.
According to published reports, each of the show's six stars had agreed to a multimillion-dollar deal to star in four one-hour episodes.
Some articles even went as far as to say that scripts were already being written.
However, "Access Hollywood" has learned that those reports are completely false.
"Not one ounce of truth," Jeff Zucker, CEO of NBC Universal Television Group, told "Access" of the rumors.
RIP, Friends Reunion
Well. That was short lived. lol
Maybe if you write the theme song...

I'm not gonna lie. A little part of me died tonight.
I think it's for the best... better to keep the closure. Opening it back up again would just hurt me more! I don't need another nervous breakdown when it ends again!
I'm excited. I love Friends!
Is anyone surprised these reports turned out to be false?
