Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The on-again, off-again unscripted Friends reunion is offically on. HBO Max announced that the deal was signed on the dotted line by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer today, so that means it is happening.

They did not say when it would air, but it sounds like it will be part of the streaming service’s launch in May. For those of you who desperately need your Friends’ fix, that will be when all 236 will be available to stream.

I know Friends’ fans are excited by this news, but I picture it being a total snobfest from most of the six. There is a certain amount of arrogance that comes off from some of them. Not saying which ones, but we all know who they are.

Anyways, I don’t think it will be as fun as the sitcom because they are not like their scripted characters. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how they will do without a script. Not sure if Perry will be able to save it. He is the only one I have seen of the six that can be naturally funny and not make it be all about him. Although, I think Kudrow will be able to help him out. Will the other four be able to do the same? I am not sure they can.

But hey, at least the fans will be able to say they got a reunion. Isn’t that what they have been asking for, for all of this time? I wonder if they will be disappointed when they realize that this is just a reunion special that is all talk and not an actual new episode.

BTW Can you tell I am not a fan of Friends? I liked the first few seasons, but then I got bored with it.

There are so many streaming sites now and the really good ones charge a monthly subscription. Which makes you wonder how much you are willing to shell out for all or most of them. Some are under $5, some are closer to $10 and a few want $14.99.

HBO Max announced today that in May it will debut for $14.99 a month. Yes, they have over 10,000 hours of content, but are people willing to pay that much when they can get Disney+ for less than $5 or Hulu for $5.99 or Netflix for $11.99? It is a lot of money with all the other channels and streaming sites out there. I think they should try to find a way to lower that cost or they will go away like AppleTV eventually will.

The Rock announced today that this season of Ballers will be its last. He did not explain why it is ending (we can all assume he has way too many other projects and this one is very time consuming), but he is grateful for the five seasons that they produced.

Even though he revealed that the sports drama is ending, the fifth season has not even begun to air. You can tune into HBO this Sunday at 10:30p for the final season premiere.

What can you expect from the last eight episodes? This season finds Spencer (Johnson) settling into retirement and reflecting on his past, when an offer that’s too good to refuse comes his way and sends him back into the lion’s den, this time as a team owner. In the wake of his split with Spencer, an ambitious Joe (Rob Corddry) gambles aggressively to make Sports X greater than ever with the help of his new partner, Lance (Russell Brand). Meanwhile, Ricky (John David Washington) has a startling setback that forces him to consider a new kind of future and tests his physical, mental and emotional resolve; Charles (Omar Miller) learns that being a general manager means getting your hands dirty; Vernon (Donovan W. Carter) shifts his focus to his love of professional gaming despite Reggie’s (London Brown) wariness; and Jason (Troy Garity) decides to take his career to the next level.

Are you sad to see Ballers end up in the end zone or do you think it still had a few touchdowns left in it? Since I went to college with DJ, I better know my football terminology when I post about him.

Maisie Williams was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jimmy Fallon asked her if she could reveal any secrets from the much anticipated final season of Game of Thrones. Since everyone, including Joe Jonas, had to sign NDAs, she cannot tell him anything.

Well, what happens if you get lost in the moment and accidentally share the fact that your character dies? That’s right, she said that Arya doesn’t make it to the series finale.

Back to the question, what do you do? If you are Williams, you beg for the show to edit it out. Even though Fallon said they would cut the question and answer, she still ran off of the set crying.

Why did NBC still air it then? Because it was April Fool’s Day and they were pranking us. We all know she is a better actress than that.
