One of the greatest episodes of Friends ever - had to review this because it was on TV in a re-run. "Why is it great?" The situational comedy and Chandlerisms and Phoebisms are all funny, but there's so much more. The greatest achievement: *three* plot lines - Ross & Caitlin the pizza girl, the earrings Monica lent to Phoebe who lent them to Rachel who lost them, Joey's "big role" in Law & Order - that all get pretty much equal time and are all pretty much equally funny. Now writing that is *hard*. Plus, there is insight into male psychology when Chandler tells Monica how men perceive flirting... and one of the appearances of the infamous Jennipple(s) that was the subject of so much talk way back in the day. What is there not to like?
The only thing that prevents this from achieving the full 10/10 that is lack of originality - all the elements are familiar, there's no real innovation here. But hey, perfectness is *really* hard to achieve.
