Were We Just On A Break With Friends?

Rumors have been milling around within the past month that a reunion of Friends, the beloved and iconic sitcom defining many a gal’s hair-do in the 90s, could be in the works.

Now your initial reaction to this news is probably:

But hold on a sec and let’s think this through before we make any rash decisions. The Friends cast mates are almost 50 years old now; we can’t just assume they’re going to perform exactly as we remember them.

We must ask ourselves some VERY important questions before we can allow this to happen. Like,

What if….

1) …they hurt themselves?

2) ….the chemistry is gone?

3) …they can’t clap in sync anymore?

4) …they’ve lost all of their character’s talents?

5)…they can’t pull these outfits off?

6) ….they can’t pose together for photos anymore?

I understand that our love for Friends is based on giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have and receive.

But why would we bring the show back and potentially destroy it’s dignity and memory?

Seriously, could there BE a worse idea than a Friends reunion?

Don’t agree with me? Well, I can’t continue this debate right now as I’m late for my Green Eggs and Ham discussion group. Tonight is why he would not eat them on a train. But you can mail all feedback to 15 Yemen Road, Yemen.
