‘Friends’ Returns to TV


HOLLYWOOD - Seminal sitcom Friends is returning to television after each of its six stars agreed multi-million dollar deals to star in four one-hour specials.
In a secret meeting before Christmas, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry reportedly agreed a $5 million apiece deal with NBC bosses in Los Angeles.

Scriptwriters have already started penning lines for the four double episodes, which are due to air next year.

Aniston, who has filmed a string of movies since the final Friends episode, was the last to agree to the new deal.

An NBC insider says, "She's the one who had been holding out. But she's now agreed to reprise Rachel (Green).

"Bringing them back is a dream come true. Ratings will go through the roof."

Network bosses have also hinted at a second spin-off of the hit comedy, following the disappointing performance of Matt LeBlanc's show Joey. The new program will see the three male stars--Perry, Schwimmer and LeBlanc--pilot a series called It's A Guy Thing.

An NBC spokesperson confirms, "Negotiations on future projects are going on all the time."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

even if it sucks it will make me happy

It's the "I will never get out of the shadow of this show and I need more money" grab, I suspect.

I'm disappointed Matthew Perry's career in comedy films hasn't taken off; his were pretty good. Dave Schwimmer played Ross in Band Of Brothers. Joey sucks.

I heard on the radio last night that this was not for real.

I think Comeback on HBO was ten times more dismal than Joey.

OUCH.

I don't know. It was bad compared to Friends, but compared to the rest of the crap out there it was at least average.

i "Average?!? Do you know how STUPID average is?!?!" rock

Comeback as average?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I'd rather watch alternating hours of the Jedi kid and Goatse rather than watch another episode of Comeback.

I think that kind of faux-reality-cringe-comedy is wonderful when it's surrounded by genuinely funny stuff. (e.g., The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm)

But when it's just cringeworthy and not funny, it's so painful.

No, Joey. Sorry, I mis-read. Plus, I never saw (or even heard of) Comeback.
