Seventeen years ago the iconic sitcom, Friends, aired its last episode. Fans were delighted last year when it was announced there would be a reunion special to coincide with the launch of HBO Max. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the release date kept being pushed back. Well good news fellow Friends fans! Earlier today the streaming service dropped a teaser trailer that admittedly had me reaching for a tissue, with the official date. Here it is:
Just in case you need further inspiration to get you in the mood, here are the first and last scenes of the show:
And the original music video:
I’ll Be There for You ~ The Rembrandts
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke
Your love life’s DOA
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but
I’ll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I’ll be there for you
(Like I’ve been there before)
I’ll be there for you
(‘Cause you’re there for me too)
You’re still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast
So far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
But she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that
I’ll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I’ll be there for you
(Like I’ve been there before)
I’ll be there for you
(‘Cause you’re there for me too)
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you’re the only one who knows
What it’s like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I’ll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I’m best with you, yeah
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year
I’ll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I’ll be there for you
(Like I’ve been there before)
I’ll be there for you
(‘Cause you’re there for me too)
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
(‘Cause you’re there for me too)

I didn’t know this. Not surprised one of the big streaming services put up the money to make it happen.

I am going to watch it, but I don’t know how I feel about it. I loved it for such a long time, but as the years have passed. I started to realise how much was wrong with it, lol

My second wife loved that show, and I think I saw every episode. I won’t be in a rush to watch the reunion though, I think it ‘had its day’. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
