Ever since Friends ended, everyone has wanted to see them back together. No matter how much the fans beg for it, the cast and creators say no.
With other shows getting revivals like Will & Grace, Roseanne and Murphy Brown, everyone keeps asking the cast about it. Today, it was Steve Harvey who took the plate and asked Matt LeBlanc if he would do it.
Joey told him, “Me personally, I don’t think so. You have to talk to the writers about it. That show was about a very finite period in your life, when you were like 20 and 30, right in there when your out of school, but your life hasn’t really started yet, your friends are your family, and you are kind of finding your way. When that period is over, it is over. All the characters have gone their separate ways.” Then he added, “I have always have this standard go to joke when people say, ‘We want to see what Joey is doing now?’ I’m like, ‘Nobody wants to see Joey get his colonoscopy.'”
Yes, we do. The episode could be The One When Joey Gets a Colonoscopy. There could also be the episode, The One When Ross Gets Viagra. Or The One When Rachel Get Menopause. Or The One When Chandler Turns 50. Just as they have gotten older, so have their fans. They want to see them in that next stage. Friends like them remain friends for a lifetime. As they get older, they just get closer as life throws them curve balls. We want to see that and laugh with them.
When their residuals start to die down, I am sure they will be back for more. No offense to the cast, but what are they doing now? Jennifer Aniston is doing annoying commercials. LeBlanc is doing that CBS comedy no one watches. And the rest are… They need to do Friends, just like all the other revivals!
I guess he is just bitter because Joey was such a piece of crap. He was the one who got the spinoff and he was the worst choice. Out of all of the characters, his was the least interesting. Maybe because he was so dumb and that a one note joke that did not play well by itself. Or maybe it was the actor who played him. Sorry, I just see LeBlanc playing the same character no matter what he does and that goes back to before he was a friend.
What do you think of the cast being so against doing a reunion or a revival?
