Friends Reunion Special is a go for HBO Max
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
At the end of the BBC article it says:
Wouldn't really be the case for an interview. I think it will be a proper episode.

I'd imagine a simple and generic plot is someone's kid is getting married.
Someone's kid is going to say "we were on a break" and the laugh track will drown out the audio for a full 35 minutes
If this ends up being just an interview episode there are a lot of people who are going to be upset.
most on twitter are expecting a 'proper' episode, so anything short of that is going to cause major bad will I think

The show sucks, but Ross in particular is especially trash. I have no idea how the actor is outside of that character though. edit- he was perfect in band of brothers tho
......while counting all the money they are making for just sitting around talking.
This. No way would they get paid so much, have the original show creators involved and have the cast all listed as executive producers for some 1 hr retrospective interview.
I bet this is to test the waters and if HBO Max gets bigger sub numbers than they ever expected, I could see them doing a 10 episode season 11
No. The rumor from the start has been that it would be a talk show type thing.
The rumors that have been circling for months and the language in the announcement make it pretty clear this is just an interview type thing. Which is dumb as hell!
Remember that time one of the mods was a pedo? Sigh, classic Neogaf.
Reading the thread title, I started to imagine a special that is just jammed with shitty callbacks but this sounds even worse, wtf?
Heck yes. Is there anyone that isn't around anymore to do it? Obviously Coach passed away.
It's really just Coach. Funny thing is I can see Woody doing a better Coach nowadays than Woody did Woody.
Give me Family Matters, you fucks!
I don't CARE if Jaleel White says he can't do the Urkel voice anymore, back a Brinks truck up to his damn house and he'll figure something out.
On topic: HBO just throwing out that fuck you money if this isn't an actual new episode.

Fuck. Now I want this. How do you explain them waiting so many years, storywise
It was only Joey that moved significantly far away (and that was after the show finished). Phoebe, Mike, Ross and Rachel all live in Manhattan and Chandler and Monica live in the burbs but still work in the city.
Sounds like a retrospective, kinda boring tbh. Give me a reboot/sequel with the original friends as guest stars playing the parents of their kids who are the main characters, living in NY after college.
This has been known for a while, this is just the official confirmation as negotiations were taking a while.
I could see it work as an in-show reunion, where the six of them planned to meet at Central Perk and they talk about what they've been up to since the final episode. That could be fun. I always enjoyed the episodes that are 'real-time' and in one room the most with 'The One Where No One's Ready' as the best example. I think something like that could work as a one off episode.
With papers screaming "reunion!" every time the cast members went out for lunch, this was bound to happen. If just hanging out with old co-workers/friends could fetch you millions, who wouldn't do that🤷🏻♂️.
I am not sure it's gonna be well received though, critically.
