Will they cut a scene from a unaired episode of Friends? (minor spoilers)

Spoiler

Wasn't there a scene talked about in the spoilers of one of the first episodes of the upcoming season where Chandler jokes about a bomb on a plane? Anybody think they'll leave that one out?

It's more than a scene, it's a whole plot - and it *will* be cut. In fact, I won't be surprised if the whole episode, Rachel telling Ross scenario included, is pulled for the foreseeable future.

God, even those shots of New Yoek between scenes will have to be cut...

news:...

This episode from what I read coincides with the Rachel timeline and wouldn't be a good idea to air this episode out of sequence. I believe that if they decide to air the questionable Monica and Chandler plot, that they should put a message regarding this episode in no way was intended to relate the storyline with the bombings and that the episode was aired weeks prior to the tragic incident and was purely coinidental. I doubt the message will be any more soothing to the already tense situation, but it might help a little. Another message could warn the viewers of the plotline and that if they are still sensitive about the incident then they shouldn't watch. I highly doubt that ratings are a big issue here.

Just saw an altered synopsis for the offending episode - yup, it's been yanked. Probably never to return, seeing as I can see such jokes being in bad taste for a VERY long time to come. I would imagine that there will be some sort of dedication to the victims in its place, though.

I am hoping that we will be able to see the Mondler storyline later on maybe in a year when things aren't too shaky and risky.

Given that this is more likely than not the last year, I'm guessing it'll never see the light of day. Not the first plot to receive that treatment.

I don't think they have any choice. They *have* to get them in the show one way or another.

has the whole episode been yanked? or just that one storyline?

Its just that one storyline thats been yanked. They can't yank the episode where Rachel tells the dad-to-be.

Anyway, got this from eonline

"Friends" Forced to Reshoot by Mark Armstrong Sep 20, 2001, 2:35 PM PT

After last week's devastating terrorist attacks, it's not just CIA shows that are getting another look from producers and network execs.

Even NBC's hit comedy Friends is getting reworked following the tragedies, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Producers have reshot the third episode of the season, which takes place entirely in an airport and features Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) arriving several hours before their honeymoon flight.

"A lot of it had to do with how ridiculous it was for crazy, obsessive Monica to want to get there three hours in advance," Friends executive producer David Crane tells the Inquirer. "Two weeks ago, that would have been ridiculous. It's not ridiculous now. Everybody's doing it now. A lot of the comedy in it didn't feel funny, so we reshot the story line."

The episode is still scheduled to air October 11. But it's an odd moment for Friends--a happy-go-lucky series usually only offensive for its portrayal of New York as a city where young people can find or afford a 3,000-square-foot apartment.
