Show Notes
We're launching our as of yet untitled Friends retrospective and could we be any more excited? Ian and Georgia are here on a Friends Friday to discuss all things Season 1 of the hit 90s sitcom that arguably transcends era. Stories and plot continuity crashes are aplenty in our first episode as we discuss:
- The kind of retconning FRIENDS had to do to itself post-pilot to give the audience a longer chase with Ross & Rachel
- How Ross really had no better shot with Rachel in Season 1 than he does at the end of this episode
- How this episode may have been one of two shot and released out of order
- We introduce you to Mimi the Meanie, and we get our first glimpses of Maggie Wheeler as Janice, only, is she Janice? When is Janice not Janice?
- The clever design of splitting the FRIENDS up into 3 twosomes
- We play 'how stupid is too stupid for Joey?'
- We also play 'how stupid is too stupid for Monica?'
- We discuss which parts of the episode are the best for water cooler discussion
- Ian comes up with arguably a better name for the episode
