The One Where Eddie Moves In

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 20 June 2011]

Now that Chandler and Joey live by themselves they really miss each other. It is very well shown and played by both of them. I love the scene where they watch Baywatch together while talking on the phone. And then Eddie moves in with Chandler, but he sure can't replace Joey and it is very sweet how Joey gets all jealous about it

Phoebe gets discovered. But turns out that the voice in her video is not her. I personally love the Smelly cat video, pretty funny. And this story gives the song a new meaning.

A nice addition to the episode is Monica and Ross spending too much time together and having their brother/sister fights

Weird Episode To Watch

[slightlymad22 · 8/10 · 11 December 2014]

A funny episode as the scenes between Perry and Le Blanc are touching, but Schwimmer irritates the living hell out of me Plot In A Paragraph: When Joey shows the friends his new apartment, Chandler makes an excuse not to go. It's obvious to everyone that Chandler and Joey miss each other and they start to watch Baywatch in their apartments while talking on the phone together. Phoebe is discovered and she gets a chance to record "Smelly Cat". Ross is driving Monica crazy because he is spending so much time at hers and Rachel's place. Chandler finds a new roommate called Eddie, but is shocked to find that Eddie doesn't like foosball nor Baywatch...

David Schwimmer really annoyed me in this episode, as he behaves very unreasonably and very childishly. I did like the scenes between Joey and Chandler, and Joey getting jealous of Chandler's new flat mate.

Eddie is the man

This is one of my all time favorite in the series due to the fact that it introduces us to Eddie. He is hands down my favorite short run character. He starts off seeming quite normal in this episode, but swiftly devolves into a nutcase.

Crazy Eddie!

Adam Goldberg nailed this character! Wished they cast him longer than 3 episodes. Enjoyed his out of the blue outburst of craziness. Sure, Chandler suffered a little bit while missing Joey but had fun watching Adam on the show. Had a really good laugh in that 3 episodes.

The One Where Eddie Moves In

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 6 May 2008]

Joey shows his new apartment to all of his friends, with Chandler's exception, who doesn't want to go there. They both miss each other's company, but they are too proud to tell each other about that.

Chandler's search for a new roommate ends when Eddie shows up. Joey stays angry with Eddie living in his ex apartment, since he was thinking about moving again to there. He has a jealous crisis, since he thinks that Chandler prefers Eddie then he.

Phoebe gets a chance to record a clip for "Smelly Cat" , but since she cannot cooperate with the team and has a terrible voice, the producer hires a talented singer to be her voice in the clip.

Great

I like the song smelly cat just as much as I like every thing about this show.

The One With Smelly Cats

[devashishparnami · 10/10 · 10 February 2018]

Chandler gets a new roommate, who is damn funny. Phoebe gets the chance to make a music video for her song "Smelly Cat". Ross and Monica clash when he is always at her and Rachel's apartment.

Based solely off Ross in the beginning

[katlemos313 · 10/10 · 15 October 2020]

Yes eddies great. So are Joey and chandler. But the scene in the beginning with the pie? I LMAO every time I see it!!!

Smelly cat!

[safenoe · 10/10 · 28 March 2024]

I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally post an imdb user review for The One Where Eddie Moves In, because I loved (and still do of course) the Smelly Cat song and video by Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow). The video is poignant and hilarious and laugh out loud on various levels, and Phoebe really sticks to her convictions about the quality of the video and song of course. Anyway, James Michael Tyler makes another appearance as Gunther, and by far he was the most underrated character of the series, and it's a shame there wasn't a Gunther spin-off, like Frasier from Cheers. It was also a shame that Tyler only got a very cursory appearance on the Friends reunion.

A fun 2/3 of an episode

[studioAT · 5/10 · 28 April 2017]

Focusing on the positives first - the scenes between Joey and Chandler are great. Their friendship was so great in these early years.

It's also great to have Adam Goldberg be part of the cast for a few episodes, and his character of Eddie (Chandler's new roommate) is brilliant.

The Phoebe storyline is fun too, with some gentle jabs about the media and fame that the cast themselves were having at the time.

The story that doesn't work is the one involving Ross/Rachel/Monica. Annoying would be the word I'd use to describe it.

A decent episode on the whole though.
