It's one of my only non 60's, 70's or 80's favorite shows. But I think this is going to just be a cast reunion sort of thing, rather than a 'reunion episode' sort of thing.

Since it's on HBO Max, will Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe all show their 50+ year old teets?

I'd wager Rachel's are the nicest.  Even if they do, you know HE won't be watching because he doesn't like granny boobs.

Bit of a letdown this isn't it?

How so? I don't think that this 'reunion' is going to be an episode. Just the cast sitting around, talking about the show and doing things like in that trailer. 

I won't pay for HBO Max for it, but I'll find the show and watch it (eventually).

That's what I mean... It isn't an actual episode it is just the cast getting back together.

Yeah, if you watched the series, you could really see some dramatic weight changes from season to season. At one point he looked very unhealthy because he'd gotten so thin.

The story that I read was that people were concerned because he was slurring his words. I didn't notice it in the second video that I posted in this thread, though.

If I remember correctly, he had a prescription drug abuse problem. I read an interview with him once where he said that he had no memory of filming most of a season or two of the show.

Everyone knows that's what it is though. A reunion is the cast reminiscing. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air did one on HBO Max as well.  Parks and Recreation did one on zoom and tied in the pandemic lockdowns. They aren't advertised as new episodes.

I don't know why people don't understand this. They all get upset when they say it isn't an episode.. it's a cast reunion not a reboot of the show itself. Has a reunion ever been an actual episode?

Seinfeld did theirs through an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm

Matt Leblanc was in the show episodes, playing a more R-rated version of himself. A few Friends castmates were guests. It was basically self-mocking.

The show was entertaining, but why anyone would care to watch this is beyond me

People were obsessed with this show. Obsessed. I have family members who will, to this day, watch it the way a lot of people watch The Office.

My younger cousin is obsessed, has t-shirts and other merch, posts memes from Friends FB groups, etc. I don't get it. 

We tried rewatching a couple years ago and it was cringey. I don't think it holds up. Even at the time, it went on too long and had the same tired cliches and jokes.
