Friends (1/15/04) The One Where Chandler Gets Caught
WHO'S THAT MYSTERY BLONDE WITH RAMBLER CHANDLER? RACHEL AND PHOEBE NEED TO KNOW! -- When Chandler (Matthew Perry) is spotted by Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) sneaking into a car with a mysterious blonde woman, they discover a bigger surprise that leaves all the gang agog -- especially Joey (Matt LeBlanc). Together, the sextet reminisces about some of their most memorable moments that have cemented their bonds of friendship for the past decade. Courteney Cox Arquette and David Schwimmer also star.
I have nothing to say other than thanks for a freaking clip show in your last season, overpaid a$$holes.
Maybe it's not the fault of the stars. Seems like writers' laziness to me. They got an easy episode by filling half the time with recycled footage. I did feel ripped off.

I want girls on bread!
plus, i can already see the end. chandler and monica looking at an empty apartment before shutting the door behind them to move to westchester. (my first thought after they announced the move was "somebody needs to take that apartment, save it b/c it's such a wonderful and spacious place for NYC" !!!!!)
Attention FRIENDS writers...we've already seen this stuff 1000 times!!! The commericals are newer to us!
Ugh...clip shows. The reason why the final Seinfeld was...such a let down. I mean...seriously. If they try this crap with the final episode on Friends...that will be annoying.
It amazes me that sitcoms STILL do clip shows at all. Clips shows made sense in the days prior to home video, since it was the only way to see your favorite scenes again - but considering the fact that shows are recorded, syndicated and on DVD, it makes NO sense to do clip shows anymore...it's just laziness by the writers!

Chandler & Monica should sublet that apartment. I think I remember an episode that revealed it was rent-controlled, so they should be able to get twice what they pay. That would help with the Westchester mortgage!
I seem to remember the final episode of Seinfeld as a clip show bookended by a few minutes of new footage at the beginning and at the end.
Nope. It was an hour long episode in which George and Jerry got called back into NBC and were told their sitcom "Jerry" would be put on the air. They were given use of the network's private jet to go on one last "fling". On route to Paris, their plane almost crashed. They landed somewhere in Massachusetts where they witnessed a fat guy have his car stolen. They were then arrested and charged with violating the "good samaritan" law because they did not help the man in trouble. There was an ensuing trial in which Jackie was the attorney and all the former guest stars were summoned as character witnesses. The show ended with
The Seinfeld finale was one of the most closely guarded secrets in TV history. They did a great job keeping it hush, for a number of reasons. Plenty of speculation/guesses/rumors, but none turned out to be right.
Until the morning of the broadcast. Some guy posted out of the blue (forget if it was on Usenet or on a Seinfeld BBS) a synopsis of the actual finale that was like 95% correct. I think the only thing he got wrong was why they initally got on the plane. But the post was pretty much ignored (since it didn't get a single response and I never saw it copied or reposted anywhere else). I think I was the only person to reply, and that was the morning after, to congratulate the poster on his scoop.....
There was a half-hour (or more like a forty minute) clip show that immediately preceded the (largely awful) series finale.
Back to Friends: I strongly doubt there's ever been a TV show inhistory with more clip episodes than this one. They've been doing one a year for the past few seasons. Can anyone get the actual number we're up to now?
To get paid $1 Million for a 22 minute episode is obscene; to get it for half an episode is ridiculous.
