Friends Reunion in the works? Don't count on it...yet


Is there going to be a Friends Reunion. If they do they can call it "The One with the Reunion". However I wouldn't count on a reunion anytime soon. The last year of the show each cast member was making $1,000,000 an episode. However its not like any of them have had any breakout success since "Friends". Jenifer Aniston has had one hit movie called "The Break Up. However none of the other stars have had any major hits under their belt. Matt LeBlanc had the major bomb "Joey". Which was the worse TV Spin off show since "After M*A*S*H".

Matthew Perry seemed at first to have a hit on his hand when "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" premiered on NBC. The pilot episode was great and had solid ratings. Then it quickly turned into a huge mess and a ratings disaster. Courtney Cox has a show on FX called "Dirt" however the show is not a ratings hit. Word is out on a 2nd season. Lisa Kudrow had a bomb on HBO called "The Comeback". God only knows where David Schwimmer is. So career wise these cast members need to reunite. NBC needs a hit. Jenifer Aniston said she would like to do a reunion set on "Thanksgiving".

The only problem with reunion movies is that well they suck. To me a reunion episode should be a 2hr show filmed in front of an audience. They could film it like 4 episdoes of the show. Film it in 30 minute segments and have it be in four parts when it airs later in syndication.
