Does anyone still watch Friends re-runs / DVD's?

I thought it'd be nice to have an on-topic post here for a change, not to mention see if any of the old gang were still around?

I must admit I haven't watch any episodes for quite a while now.

I catch re-runs every now and then. Particularly if I am wanting background stuff while cooking or something. Some I avoid - like Ross and the white teeth for example. They still make me laugh.

Recently decided to rewatch a few old Friends eps on DVD.   Funniest
thing was watching the S6 finale (The One with the Proposal) and the
S7 Premiere (The One with Monica's Thunder) and seeing how much
thinner Matthew Perry looks in the latter than the former, when it's
*supposed* to be immediately following the proposal in Friends'
time.   MP must have lost close to 30 pounds during the summer off-
season back in 2000.

Side note: Courtney Cox has aged *very* gracefully. Recently saw her on the cover of a magazine called New Beauty, at 45, she looks pretty much the same as she did before when Friends was still airing (pre- pregnancy, of course):

Her new show, "Cougar Town," has a great chance to be a breakout hit, given it's on ABC, the network that seems to target the older-women demographic almost exclusively (Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Dancing with the Stars, etc.) We'll see.

Yeah, but Matthew Perry losing so much weight a second time is not so funny when you know about his addiction to pain killers.

Completely forgot about that.

Anyway, the most recent thing I've heard about Matthew Perry is that he played the older version of Zac Efron in "17 Again". I've yet to rent it, though.

As for the other guys, heard David Schwimmer's engaged to a girl nearly 20 years his junior. Matt LeBlanc I haven't heard much since "Joey" was canceled 4 years ago. Not every sitcom spin-off can be as successful as "Frasier," unfortunately.

We always wanted the spin-off to be "Rachel in Paris". Wonderful.

Unfortunately, Aniston is being a 'big star' by making crap romcoms.

The best *recent* movie I've seen starring her is "Marley & Me", in which pretty much the dog and Owen Wilson carried the movie, not Jennifer Aniston. :)

Her most recent film, "The Bounty Hunter," looked funny from the trailers, but it got absolutely horrible reviews, so I'm gonna wait until DVD, if at all.

"Marley & Me" came 5th in Mark Kermode's Top 10 list of 2009's worst films. "The Bounty Hunter" is likely to make the 2010 list.

Don't you have them all on DVD?

True - put you only post Neighbours reviews, which don't really count as on-topic...

Yes - hence the thread title...

I'm still of the old gang!

In which case the title should begin "Does anyone else still watch"...
