Director's trivia

Okay, I have a question for all you Friends' fan out there... I just read on the Internet Movie Database that Jennifer Aniston is supposed to have directed at least one episode of our favourite show. Can anyone recall which one?

which

I don't think she has yet, but she is going to in March, I believe.

Yes, I watched Access Hollywood and they said after David, Jennifer Aniston is the next "friend" to direct and it will be next spring.

Yep, that's what I heard too. It would be kinda cool if she ends up directing the episode we go to, wouldn't it? :)

Are you and Larissa going to a taping??? Do you live in LA?

We don't live in LA, but we've been to filmings before, and we decided that we want to go to one more filming, especially since this might be the last season.

How early do you request tickets? And when can i start requesting? I will be in CA either in May, June or July of next summer. They don't tape that early?

Sofya

Sorry, but I have no idea when you can start requesting; we're getting our tickets a different way. But you're right that they don't film in May, June, or July anyway - they start in mid-August (assuming there will be a season 9). If there *is* another season, and you're in CA when they're not filming, you might want to take the WB Studio Tour, because I've heard you get to see exterior shots that are used in Friends, like Ross & Monica's parents' house, and occasionally they'll take the tour group to the set of Friends since no one's there in the summer.

You'll need to send a request to Audiences Unlimited (www.audiencesunlimited.com) on June 1st. They will hand out tickets for all the shows in season 9 (if there will be a season 9, that is) in a matter of days. In fact, season 8 was sold out on June 4th. Afterwards, you'll have to wait for your tickets, and you'll receive them about three weeks before the taping.

<knock knock> :)

Hey, don't forget to get Volume's 3&4 since our souvenier of our last taping is on there. Wait, didn't you go again after that? I can't remember. Hee hee, I think you did. Then I guess I should say, our last taping together.

What tapings did you go to? And do you get to meet the friends? Tell us something :)

I

I've been to TOW All the Kissing, TOW Everyone Finds Out, TOW Joey's Big Break, TOA Vegas, TOW The Ring, and TOW the Engagement Picture.

You meet the Friends if you're lucky, I guess. :) I met Courteney Cox and David Arquette when I was backstage, and I know Lora's met Matthew Perry before. The thing is, you *could* meet more of the Friends if you want to bother them, but I didn't feel like bothering them, and the only reason I was introduced to CCA and DA was that we were walking right past them in the hall by the dressing rooms. In that case, it would've been rude to *not* say something to them.

Larissa

So how do the tapings work...do they do outtakes right in front of you. Or are they all set to go when the taping starts? What was it like in TOW Everyone Finds Out when DS had to scream real loud when he saw Mondler getting ready to do it? Did that take one take?

They're all set to go when the taping starts, but that doesn't mean that there aren't outtakes. They mess up a lot! (Except, it seems to me that Matt LeBlanc messes up the least. Might be just at the ones I've been to, I don't know.) But they do every single take at least two times, just in case. They end up doing a lot of them more than twice, though, because of flubbed lines or re-written lines.

Larissa

How did you guys manage to go to so many? Did you call first minute on the first ticket day?

A couple of years ago, I sent a letter to JA and CCA for an autograph and I got them. Don't know if they were mass-produced but it still made my day. I've only seen 3 celebrities/groups. I saw Julia Roberts in the San Francisco airport in the summer of 1998 and i didnt' get to ask for her autograph. And then i met Alec Baldwin when he came to be a Principal for a Day at my high school last year (in college now). I was in the musical at our school so he watched us do some scenes and songs from the show. And I also met Blink 182 when I was in Manhattan 2 summers ago. I took a pic and got an autograph.

If i could meet any stars...i would want to meet DS or JA most of all, but I would be ok with any of the other friends.

We're actually lucky enough to have connections that can get us in, so we don't have to call and request tickets from Audiences Unlimited.

Larissa

Oooohhh...connections...could you get the rest of us into the "connection," lol...j|k :)

I went to TOW The Kips, TOW Ross Can't Flirt and TOA Vegas.

Some people sometimes get them to sign stuff. But I only saw that happen at the 601 taping, and that was when the cameras were there for the documentary. ;)

I did meet Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, but not at the show.

Lora

Yep, I went twice after that, I think. Isn't our souvenir only on the DVD version though? Or did they put it on the VHS too? Oh well... At least I've seen it before!
