We had so much fun on our mini-vacation this week! Yesterday (7-8-18) we wrapped up the weekend at Funtown/Splashtown with our friends Joey + Monique and all our kiddos.
If Will & Grace didn’t kick in the TV revival door, Roseanne certainly blew it off the hinges. There’s still a few major TV revivals to ponder, but NBC brass now say Seinfeld or Friends will never happen.
Now that CBS has reached back through time to bring Murphy Brown to 2018, the age of revivals is truly upon us. Many have long-viewed Friends as the Holy Grail of potential reunion series, but star Lisa Kudrow now dismisses the prospect as “sad.” Is she right?
We just finished binge watching the entire series of 'Friends' on Netflix. One of the things I forgot was how they had a special Thanksgiving episode every season.
In the decade-plus that’s passed since the series ended, it’s become increasingly clear that Lisa Kudrow was the best actor on Friends. Maybe we were too preoccupied with Rachel’s hair and perfecting our Joey impressions to notice it then, but thanks to the generous gift of hindsight, it seems glaringly obvious now. Despite David Schwimmer’s excellent Juice-fueled turn on The People v. O.J. Simpson, and Jennifer Aniston’s typically solid and, sure, occasionally good roles, it’s Kudrow who has proven herself as the most consistently great actor of the bunch. Why, then, has Hollywood been neglecting her so much in recent years? Why are films like Neighbors and The Girl on the Train wasting her on nothing, throwaway roles with a maximum screen time of three minutes?
This is a great opportunity to spend a week in a private cabin on Three Cornered Pond in Augusta, all the while helping to keep the city's only beach, Bicentennial Nature Park on Route 3, open to the public!
The Age of Revivals spurred along by the likes of Netflix’s Fuller House or whatever NBC drags out of the dumpster next has many hopeful that Friends will finally get its oft-discussed reunion. Nope! Co-creator Marta Kauffman bluntly states “reunions suck,” at last putting an end to speculation.
How is your Super Bowl Sunday going? I'm nervous. I know it's only a game, and regardless of the outcome, tomorrow will still be the same either way. I'll get up, do what I need to do at home then go to work. This still doesn't change the fact that I'm pacing and and anxious.
