Friends: The One Where Heckles Dies (1995)
Season 2, Episode 3
10/10
Matthew Perry's Finest Moment As Chandler
4 December 2014
The first episode of "Friends" I have rated 10/10 and it's all down to one man. Matthew Perry take a bow sir. His performance is nothing short of superb Plot In A Paragraph: After Mr. Heckles, the annoying old guy who lives beneath the girls (and tried to steal Marcel) dies, and since he has no relatives he leaves all his belongings to Monica and Rachel calling them "the noisy girls in the apartment above mine". Going through his belongings Chandler notes similarities between himself and Mr.Heckles and he worries he will die alone just like him. Meanwhile, Phoebe and Ross argue over evolution.

Perry should have been nominated for an Emmy for his work in this episode, he is a delight, showing a full range of emotions. The last scene before the final credits one was very touching.

He was my favourite character before due to him being the funniest one, now he has showed he can be sweet and vulnerable too.

In a side note Jennifer Aniston looked really cold when filming this episode and I'm a fan of that too.
