(Our) “Friends” are Back!

So, our friends from the massive TV phenomenon known as Friends are back in action!

Jennifer Aniston (“Rachel”) has a brand new movie opening today, Just Go With It.  It didn’t get the best reviews, but she stars with Adam Sandler so it will be the number one movie at the box office, no doubt.  It’s also her 42nd birthday!  Happy Birthday! She’s my February birthday buddy.  And here she is looking amazing at her movie premiere. (Brad, who?)

Jen is also this week’s People Magazine cover girl.

Courtney Cox (“Monica”) stars in one of my favorite television shows, Cougar Town.  It’s one of those shows that literally makes me laugh out loud.  I love the entire cul-de-sac crew and the fact that wine is a major character.  The cast has great chemistry.  I actually think Courtney does a better job as Jules on Cougar Town than Monica on Friends. (Can I say that?!).

Cougar Town is on hiatus until April because…

Matthew Perry (“Chandler”) just took over the time slot to debut his new show, Mr. Sunshine!  Mr. Sunshine should not have that exclamation point because Matthew’s character is Mr. Sarcastic and Mr. Pessimistic.  The pilot was cute and the show still needs some work, but I’ll be back.  I love Matthew Perry and Allison Janney is hilarious.  There’s also a bit part for Hurley from Lost.

Matt LeBlanc (“Joey”) stars as a shallow version of himself in Showtime’s satirical comedy, Episodes.  It’s the show-within-a-show concept and it has received some great reviews.  Some have even called it the best new comedy on television.  Matt has been making the late night talk show rounds.  Here he is on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, looking cuter than ever.

Now we’re just waiting on you, Lisa Kudrow (“Phoebe”) and David Schwimmer (“Ross”).  (No Pressure.)
