Day 10: Television Meme
A Show That I Thought I Wouldn't Like But Ended Up Loving
Not to sound like a broken record, but...
And here's one that might surprise you more frequent readers...
Yes, my favorite drama and my favorite series of all time (Friends!). I did not think I would like either, having seen an episode here or there and not thinking they were either funny (in the case of Friends) or worthwhile (in the cast of Lost). Boy am I glad I decided to revisit both!

Emmys and Meme Day 7
How on earth do you pronounce meme?
Anyway, let's start with Day 7 of the Television Meme - My Least Favorite Episode of My Favorite Show
I shared some favorites today, so I'll do today similarly and list some least favorites.
The One Where Chandler Crosses The Line
Season 4 is honestly probably my least favorite season, despite some great episodes and lines (Michael Flatley, lord of the dance!). This episode has the utterly boring Kathy story line, and Joey and Chandler bickering over such a boring girl. This episode is sort of a snooze. Sorry, fans of TOW Chandler Crosses The Line!
The One With the Ride Along
I'm not a huge fan of Gary, though he does have some awesome Phoebe scenes. But this episode, where Joey, Chandler, and Ross go for a ride with Gary shows the lack of chemsitry between Gary and the male leads (totally unlike Paul Rudd, who brought the hilarity out in all of the cast members). Also- boring subplot in the seemingly endless Ross/Emily story.
Lastly, all clip-show episodes are boring. Sorry, but they are.
Okay I have an upcoming TV related post on the Emmys... stay tuned...

Day 6: Television Meme
Favorite Episode of My Favorite Television Show
It's hard to choose just one episode, so in the following arbitrary order are some of my favorite episodes of Friends:
The One in Barbados
There's so much to love here. Though I'm not a huge fan of Joey/Rachel, I still love the way Joey and Charlie fell apart, and Charlie/Ross Rachel/Joey came together. And Monica's whole hair things show how good actors can make silly stories in pure comedy gold. And how could I forget David? Poor Hank Azaria. His David was just never destined to be with Phoebe!
The One Where Everybody Finds Out
Oh how the writers must have had a tough time figuring this out. She knows we know they know we know? I know they know we know they know? It's never confusing figuring out who knows what, and to that the writers deserve a standing ovation. And, naturally, Kudrow steals the show with the help of Perry's Chandler.
The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel
Season 6 is one of the most consistent seasons, and TOW Ross Hugs Rachel is just one of the many examples of the amazing consistency and hilarity of the season. Whether it's stupid gags (Monica's gross cookies) or balancing comedy and heart (Ross loving Rachel, Chandler and Monica's huge step forward), Friends always succeeds in making the audience wish that their friends were this sixsome. (Sixsome is so not a word.)

Day 4: Television Meme
My Favorite Show
So much has been written about my favorite show: Friends.
I'm not sure what's left to say. It's the go-to show for me whenever I'm feeling anything. Sad, happy, in need of a laugh, tired, angry, excited. 236 episodes of some great comedy. Well, some episodes do misfire a tad (The One with Russ), but when it's good (which is about 200+ of these episodes) it's really good (The One with the Red Sweater). I was too young to watch the series during its incredibly successful, 10-year run on the now-failing NBC. But I found the show in reruns, and now I own all ten seasons on DVD and regularly (very, very regularly) watch them.
Some random musings:
-Season 6 is the best. No wait, Season 9. No wait, Season 5. I can't choose!
-My mind changes on the order of my favorite characters all the time. I posted it on Andrew's blog a little while ago, but I don't remember that order. The order as of today: Phoebe, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey, Ross.
-I usually can't bring myself to watch the final episode because it makes me cry. There, I said it!
One day I might rank all of these episodes, is there demand for that though? Sound off in the comments if there is! Also, what are your thoughts on Friends?

EMMY's
Emmy predictions come out tomorrow! It's nice to have nominations announced in July to get through the rut following the Oscars. The only wrong the Emmys can do in my eyes is to ignore Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange in Grey Gardens. It would be nice to see Jennifer Aniston get a nomination for her work on 30 Rock, but not very likely. Guest actor/actress categories are typically dominated by older actors (i.e. Cloris Leachman for Malcolm in the Middle), but they could throw her a bone, don't you think? I'd like her to join Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry by getting an Emmy nomination after their (amazing) work on Friends, the best sitcom in the last 50 years. Any opinions? Please share in the comments section!
