I liked the first season of this show. It went downhill from there. This would only be worth watching if, in fact, they were all zombies like this show is.

Rachel’s the only one doing well enough to say no. They’ll just have her in Paris doing fashion stuff or something and she’ll show up in a couple of episodes and do some pre-taped phone calls. If they get a million bucks an episode again she might even be in for more. None of them will ever make the kind of money they were raking in the last few seasons of that show. ---

[“Another NBC insider reveals to us that a Friends reunion is something the network has “talked about,” but there has been “no forward motion” on the idea.”](http://www.eonline.com/news/408723/friends-reunion-report-makes-internet-implode-but-it-s-not-happening-yet) I would be really surprised if it ever happened. Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow were both asked about it late last year, and neither of them seemed particularly enthusiastic about the idea. ---

An entire season? :dubious: I always assumed any **Friends** reunion would be a one-off TV special. ---

…remember back in 1988, during the writer’s strike, when they just started recycling old scripts for returning shows, or even for [basing entirely new series’ around them?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible_%281988_TV_series%29) I didn’t think they could top that, in desperation.
