The One with Rachel's Crush

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 4 August 2011]

The story with Rachel's crush is has both funny and weak sides. First of all I can't understand how she got a crush on Joshua. He is not an ugly man at all, but I just could see nothing so overwhelming about him that she would go nuts like that. It is also interesting how they think that a woman asking a guy out makes her look desperate. Is it just the 90's or their usual prudeness and old fashioned views that I have been noticing so often when watching it? But on the good side are all the funny attempts of Rachel to hit on him, those are pretty good! I especially like her saying "How you doin'?"

I wasn't really a fan of Chandler and Kathy story. It was neither funny nor did I like Perry's acting in it. It was sure his weak moment. The only good part about it was Ross saying "Well, if she thought they were on a break...."

The One Where Monica Wants To Be The Host

[devashishparnami · 10/10 · 15 November 2018]

After her former department at Bloomingdales was abolished, Rachel gets a new job: personal shopper for big spending clients; one of them, Joshua Bergen, really appeals to her, so she lures him back after hours with his 'lost' wallet, but even Joeys misunderstood suggestion to offer him Knicks tickets doesn't quite work out. Chandler is terribly jealous when he thinks his girlfriend Kathy gets too intimate with her thespian counterpart, and she takes it badly enough to break up with him- once he's no longer drunk, he's a wreck and realizes he didn't really know. Monica really misses being 'the hostess' now the boys have the big apartment, so she decides to make their tiny place 'even better'; she does a great job in two obsessive days non-stop, but is so tired she dozes off on the couch.

Here's your girlfriend's button

[studioAT · 4/10 · 16 June 2017]

This is a fairly thin episode, perhaps a little underwhelming after the brilliance of the one that preceded it.

For one thing, Ross, Joey and Phoebe don't really do very much, instead only chipping in with the other story lines.

This episode is also about moving things forward for the next half of the series, so Chandler and Kathy break up, and Rachel looks to move on from Ross with new boy, Joshua (played by Tate Donovan, who we the voice of Hercules once upon a time).

It's nothing against Matthew Perry's portrayal of the character, but I didn't find the character of Chandler very likable here. Paranoid is a word that springs to mind.

Even an average episode of 'Friends' is better than most other sitcoms.

Sex Acting, Cute Rich Customer

[vivianla · 6 December 2020]

Ross and Chandler go see his gf's play. Chandler loudly excitedly says his gf is the lead and he gets to have sex with the lead. A good looking man that has abs through his overcoat plays the male lead and both actors eventually strip and have simulated sex.

Chandler is upset and worried that this guy might be the reason he loses his gf. Ross happily agrees to go see the play again.

Rachel is demoted to personal shopper for rich clients. Rachel tries to tell her boss she wants to quit and she wears a cute button-down with a tight black miniskirt. A "cute" blonde man comes in and Rachel doesn't tell her boss she wants to quit. The blonde man's ex burned all his clothes so now he needs everything right down to underwear.

Joey demonstrates how he asks women out. He says he looks her up and down and then says, "How you doin'?".

Joey suggests to Rachel who has never asked a guy out before to get tickets to the Knicks game. Before Joshua leaves, Rachel says, "Basketball!". The man turns around and Rachel says she has two tickets. The man takes them saying his nephew would be interested and leaves.
