"The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate"
I already really like this show. Although I can't take some of the styles. I mean really, Monica's hair and khaki pant suspenders? Joey's hair? No, no, nope. It's weird. It's too much.
I feel like now is a perfect time to start watching this show. I'm getting ready to graduate from school, which means I am about to step into the "real world". These characters are struggling to make it financially, emotionally, and relationally, a feeling that is all too painfully real. I'm about to embark on the same quest.
I am quite jealous of their cute little "Central Perk" coffee shop. I have always wanted to have a coffee shop hangout for my friends.
So far I love all of the main characters. I loved where Chandler was telling the rest of them his weird dreams. I, too, have a plethora of odd dreams that seem to come out of nowhere which I tell to my friends. Phoebe is a good mix of cluelessness and sass. Joey tries to help in his own way, but is totally unrealistic. Ross is my favorite, since I almost always root for the underdog, and what's more of an underdog than being left by his ex-wife for a woman? Monica's helpfulness is adorable, and Rachel's spoiled life with a good heart is enough to make me like her. I'm definitely already loving the show (and totally shipping Ross/Rachel)
"The One with the Sonogram at the End"
Quick question as I start watching this episode: Don't Monica and Ross feel the least bit uncomfortable talking about such... adult activities with each other? I mean, they are brother and sister. AI just feel like it would be awkward. At least Monica's hair isn't as big in this one.
I love Monica's obsessive cleaning. I've always wished I could be a stress cleaner. Another favorite part of mine was the juxtoposition of having Rachel's encounter with her ex-fiance broken up by Ross's experience at the ultrasound. It was a very interesting and effective way to tell both stories.
The moment when Ross sees his baby though? Priceless. And worth watching the entire episode for.
"The One with the Thumb"
Ok, I'm really digging the openings of all these episodes, hanging out in the coffee shop and loosely setting up the episode.
Also, I came to the startling realization that there was no clapping in the intro! I was eating a cookie and had my hands full, and just realized that I hadn't been clapping ALONG with the intro, I had been clapping OVER the nonexistent intro, while the characters clapped... weird.
I have to say, this was the first episode to cause me to laugh out loud. When Monica was telling the others she was breaking up with Alan, it was hilarious. I laughed a lot. And then when they were all around the table commiserating together. It was perfect.
"The One with George Stephanopoulos"
I don't know what this show is trying to do to me, but THIS TIME THERE WAS CLAPPING. What the heck, Friends, what the heck! I don't understand this show one little bit!
This show has a lot more... shall we say... "adult content" than I was expecting. I know it's such a beloved TV show, and I can definitely see why, but I didn't know there would be so much about (as Ross said) "consummated physical relationships".
Hahaha Ross just gets all the bad breaks. He would be the one of the three guys to get injured at the hockey game! Those games are vicious. But what makes everything great is Chandler's reactions at everything. He is possible the front runner for my favorite. Well, I suppose Ross and Chandler are tied.
I loved the juxtaposition of the girl's night in and the boy's night out. It was very cute.
The Stats
Favorite Episode: "The One with the Sonogram at the End". I can't help it, I'm a sucker for a cute, sentimental ending to a hilarious episode!
Favorite Character: Right now it's a tie between Ross and Chandler. I love Chandlers snarky one-liners and hilarious attitude, but I just wanna give Ross a huge hug and tell him I'll be there for him!
