FRIENDS

Well, what can be said about this "great" programme? For some reason (which I suspect may be something to do with a sinister U.S. Government mind-washing experiment which went horribly wrong) this has become one of those "cult" T.V. programmes, in that it's fans really are fanatical (to the extent that they know what the favourite drinks are of each of the characters). Truely it is the Star Trek of the nineties.

Okay, here we have it, the cast list. From left to right there is:

CharacterActorBeen in
ChandlerMatthew PerryNothing. Ever.
RachelJennifer AnistonShe's The One
RossDavid SchwimmerFlight Of The Intruder
MonicaCourtney CoxAce Ventura
Scream
JoeyMatt Le BlancLookin' Italian
PhoebeLisa KudrowErm .....

So, to summarize: Half of the cast either have stupid sounding surnames, or weird character names; Courtney Cox is the only member of the cast to have accomplished anything worthwhile in the cinema; Matthew Perry has a funny square head (kind of like Kryten from Red Dwarf); Jennifer Aniston appears to be on mind-altering drugs (look at the eyes); David Schwimmer has rather foolishly presumed that raising his eyebrow will make him look like a really funny guy; Courtney Cox looks at least twice as old as the rest of the cast; Matt Le Blanc has the most foolish name of them all; and Lisa Kudrow (who comes a close second) appears to be completely disinterested in the whole affair, but that's probably because her role as the least talented in a group of six phenominally untalented people gets her the lowest wage.

Why not have a look at my very own episode of Friends? Clips from this never-before-seen wonder can be found here. Be warned that it takes a while to load though.
