Once the show ends - which character(s) do you think could most likely do a spinoff (if any)? And what would the spinoff show be about?

Kevin

The Grinch stole the election

Phoebe..but Lisa wouldn't go for it. I think she could be interesting and have her own stories (Phoebe moves to LA and tries to get a job singing jingles, she then has to take a job as an apartment supervisor and had to interact with the crazy people in her building while trying to build a career).

With a few special guest apperances by her friends around the sweeps period, of course.

That's an excellent idea! I can't imagine anyone else being successful at a spinoff. Brilliant! You should really try and sell the idea to Bright, Kaufman & Crane.

Joey- "There already IS a Joseph Stalin!" Chandler- " You're kidding!!"

Frankly I can't imagine any of them singlehandedly carrying a sitcom without the other five as foils. Rachel, *maybe*. (Rachel gets a promotion but the clinch is, she'll have to be transferred to London or Paris...the spinoff is about her hijinks overseas, undoubtedly hooking up with another group of zany, eccentric friends!)

Each character has a "tic"/shtik of sorts that would get tired easily if there weren't these other characters to play off of. I've never been a Phoebe fan and (like Joey) can't believe someone could be so dim at times. Watching a half-hour of full-on Phoebe or Joey would drive me crazy. Ditto Monica's micromanaging anal retentiveness, Ross' know-it- all-ness, Chandler's constant joke-cracking etc.

Don't get me wrong. I'd easily watch these actors in other roles, and in other sitcoms. I just don't think I'd watch them play themselves in a spinoff. They created chemistry as a unit, and don't have it singly.
