PhantomKnightI've spent the whole morning watching Friends on TBS. They've been airing the season one episodes. It's funny how the writers were clearly setting up Chandler to be the star of the show. It makes you wonder how different this show would have been if Matthew Perry hadn't gotten into drugs & alcohol.

I never got that feeling. Ross & Rachel didn't become the center of attention till season 2. Aside from Ross getting jealous over Rachel dating the Italian guy, they didn’t dwell on them as a potential couple. Ross mostly spent the season dealing with his divorce and the birth of his son. He was the only character that had a proper arc. They even gave him a monkey. Chandler, on the other hand, was the constant source of humor. In almost every episode the sub-plot was about him in some silly scenario. People thinking he’s gay. Getting stuck in an elevator with a supermodel. Seeing Rachel’s nipples. Dating the co-worker he’s supposed to layoff. The list goes on. If the writers had their way they would have given Chandler the A-plots and Friends would have become a totally different show.

Fairly sure Friends' USP was the fact that there was no centre of attention.

Fairly sure Friends' USP was the fact that there was no centre of attention. You can believe that if you want. Ross & Rachel were the A-characters, Monica & Chandler were the B-characters and Joey & Phoebe were the C-characters. In a filler episode, any character could be the star but in the main seasonal arc episodes the center of attention was either Ross & Rachel or Monica & Chandler or Ross & Chandler or Monica & Rachel.

Chandler was always my favorite of the group, but I can't picture a version of the show primarily about him.

Saw the episode a few days ago where they're making a video for Emma's 1st birthday to show her when she's 18. That would be 2020.

I thought about that too when talks of a "reunion" came up last year. Obviously this show would never have a proper reunion episode or spin-off series, but if they did, Ben & Emma & the twins would all be college-aged, or in Ben's case, in his 20's. You could have a plot revolve around Ben's wedding or Emma and the twins going off to the college. Or something like that which would get all the characters in the same room.
