Matt Perry had addiction issues (right?) so I see how that effected his looks.

It was okay - nice to see everyone together but it reminded me that the show didn't age well

Matt LeBlanc had the show Episodes which ran for several seasons. He basically played himself playing Joey. I don't think he has a lot of range.

Perry did have addiction issues but has worked off and on since Friends. He was last in The Kennedys in 2017 and apparently has a part in the DiCaprio/Jennifer Lawrence movie coming out this year.

Definitely agree that Friends has not aged well. I heard an interview where a millenial described it as desperately unfunny and that's really true. I think it just hit at the right time and with a good combination of cast members.

It is amusing that those dorky dudes, with low paying jobs landed hot women like Rachael and Monica. Like King of Queens, hot wife, fat husband.

Paul Rudd is far more handsome and he ended up with the less conventionally beautiful Phoebe (though I love LK as a person and actor)

The weight comment is funny because that was a whole episode in Episodes and I felt like LeBlanc seemed to have a pretty good sense of humor about his middle aged spread to make fun of it that way.

Perry had a string of really good sitcoms that got cancelled too quickly—three of them that I really enjoyed, then a terrible reboot of Odd Couple that weirdly lasted a while.

It would have been fun to see Cole Sprouse as grown Ben, or some of the revolving love interests, and although I never felt like Paul Rudd really fit with the cast, it seemed weird that Phoebe’s husband never showed up. And LOL at Courtney Cox saying they’d never do another reunion special. Sure. I hope they drop some more deleted scenes.

Everyone looked pretty plastic except for Matt Leblanc and maybe, more subtlety, Lisa Kudrow. Matthew Perry didn’t sound so great. Has he had a stroke at some point?

Page Six is suggesting Perry stopped doing Cameos because of his slur. I’m wondering why he was doing Cameos in the first place. Could he have possibly blown through all the Friends money?
