FRIENDS Celebrates 15 Years with iTunes

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:32:18 GMT

It's not every day a sitcom comes around and captures the heart of America the way Friends did. The show never gets old as we watch it on stations like TBS on a daily basis. Well, can you believe it's celebrating its 15th Anniversary?

I can just say 'Ross' spray tan' and almost everyone gets a clear image of two-toned Ross in their head. Followed by an almost immediate chuckle! Or Monica in a fat suit? How about Joey going commando? I dare you not to laugh at Smelly Cat or "Can that report BE any later?" I can't leave out a Rachel Green moment, like when she couldn't see her baby on the ultrasound.

What the Frock, Jennifer Aniston?

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:53:13 GMT

Welcome, once again, to "What the Frock?" where we question the stylistic sanity of our favorite TV actresses.

Today, we're catching up with the ever adorable Jennifer Aniston, who was at the Women in Film Festival this weekend, looking fit, tan, and toned as as hell. Per usual. Thanks to whatever 50+ hours per week pilates regimen she's on, and those miraculous genes she's been blessed with, and probably some sort of fancy diet where all she eats is celery and a smoothie made of pure alpha hydroxy, this woman is impervious to that thing called "Aging."

Unfortunately, the dress she chose for this occasion is not impervious to those things called "Wrinkles."

Owen Wilson and 'Friends' Alum Get Caught in Awkward Interview

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 00:02:14 GMT

Former Friends actress Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson are currently promoting their new movie Marley & Me. With interviews here and there, it's inevitable for the media to dig up some of their highly publicized problems in the past few years. Aniston with her breakup from Brad Pitt and Vince Vaughn, and Wilson with his reported suicide attempt last year. Evidently, the wounds are still fresh for both celebrities and the hype surrounding them is understandably not appreciated.

When asked how challenging it is to promote Marley & Me when the public seems to be so curious about their own lives, Aniston didn't think twice about giving her true sentiments.

BuddyTV picks the top 15 places to grab a bite with our favorite TV restaurants.

<<PREVIOUS | NEXT>>

Central Perk seems like a fun place to hang out and get some coffee and a muffin, but if you want a good seat, you have to get there early. Sometimes it seems like every single day the same six people always monopolize the couch, taking up a ton of space without even ordering anything.

Jennifer Aniston Returns to NBC on '30 Rock'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Fans are already awaiting the upcoming third season of 30 Rock, which hits NBC beginning October 30th at 9:30pm. The Golden Globe, Emmy Award WGA and TCA Award-reaping comedy series is now in its third year, and has set the record for having the most program nominations for a comedy series in a single awards year. The fact that the Emmys have a guest actor and actress category helped in reaping in the awards, as the show managed to land seven out of the 11 nomination spots.

Nonetheless, 30 Rock executive producer Marci Klein says that it’s the brilliant writers behind the show that should be given credit for coming up with the content and the faces to play the characters they’ve written. She adds, “Tina (Fey) is really brilliant -- as well as Robert (Carlock) and John Riggi, all the writers there. They're all really good at writing for someone's voice. If that person reads the script, it's obvious they would want to do it because it's just written for them.”

Scrubs: After Michael J. Fox, It's Courtney Cox

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

After rumors that Michael J. Fox is in talks with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence to reprise his role on the ABC comedy, another face fans are very familiar with is joining the fun at Sacred Heart. Entertainment Weekly reports that Friends alumna Courtney Cox is joining the cast of Scrubs for a three-episode arc. She will supposedly play as Sacred Heart's new Chief of Medicine, a role which, according to the insider, will “ruffle feathers.”

Meanwhile, this is certainly news for Cox after Dirt was canceled after two seasons due to negative reviews. Fans have already commented on the soundness of this move for Cox, as it will allow her to showcase what she is best known for: comedy.

'Friends' Movie in the Works?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:10:00 GMT

Ever since the phenomenal Friends series went off air in 2004, there have been persistent rumors, valid or otherwise, that the next time we see Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, and Joey, it will be on the big screen. However, none had been stronger than those that have surfaced in light of the Sex and the City film's stunning success, with around $130 million in domestic earnings alone.

True enough, several sources have reported that the timeline for this potentially huge movie event can be as close as in 18 months' time, and rumor has it that each of the six main cast member - Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox-Arquette, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry - is due to get at the very least $19 million for reprising their roles.

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT

After playing Chandler Bing on the hugely popular television sitcom Friends for 10 years, Matthew Perry attempts to make another huge hit role as he stars on Showtime’s The End of Steve. The dark comedy series has been given a pilot order with a substantial penalty attached with it: the promise that it will showcase a darker side of Perry viewers have never seen before.

After his stint on Friends, Perry starred in the telefilm The Ron Clark Story, where he played the title role. He then returned to primetime television with his role as Matt Albie on NBC’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip where he received strong reviews for his performance. Unfortunately, the series only lasted for one season.

What Are They Up To? Friends' Maggie Wheeler

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 01:12:25 GMT

As Janice Hosenstein Litman Goralnik on Friends, Maggie Wheeler was distinctly known for her nasal voice, obnoxious laugh and her trademark cry of “Oh…my…God.” She quickly became the laughingstock of the group and the bane of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), which made her on-again, off-again relationship with him a comic relief throughout the series. What started out as a guest spot on a single episode turned into a 10-season recurring role that has made its way into TV history.

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 00:37:51 GMT

Matthew Perry earned fame and fortune for playing the role of Chandler Bing on the sitcom Friends. The son of erotic novelist Nora Tyler Bing and cross-dressing Vegas burlesque star Charles Bing, he had an unpleasant childhood when his parents broke up. Referred to as “The Funny One,” he started using sardonic behavior and wisecracks as a defense mechanism, especially when he’s in an uncomfortable social situation. He was popularly noted for sharing an apartment with Joey, and for supporting him by paying for the rent, his headshots and food. The two got in many humorous adventures and formed a very likable friendship. Chandler dated a few women on the show but was most famous for his affairs with the recurring character Janice, and as well as Monica. Initially, he began dropping hints that he was interested in Monica but she perceived it as a joke. Eventually, Chandler and Monica slept together and began a secret affair. After their friends’ discovery of their relationship, they later moved in, finally got married, and even adopted twin babies towards the end of the series.

What Are They Up To? Friends' David Schwimmer

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 00:06:02 GMT

David Schwimmer catapulted to stardom when he was cast on the award-winning sitcom Friends. For ten years, he worked as a regular cast member and even served as the director of several episodes of the series. As the paleontologist Ross Geller, he was distinctly known for his nasal voice, nerdy intellect and abstract sense of humor. His love for dinosaurs and other scientific beliefs often led to conflict with Phoebe’s self-devised beliefs, and were usually a recurring joke throughout the series. Described by his parents as a “medical marvel,” he was generally favored by his parents over his younger sister Monica. As for his love life, he dated several women on the show and got divorced three times, starting off with Carol, Emily and then Rachel. But among all the women he dated, he was most enthralled with Rachel, who was his crush since high school. His on and off relationship with Rachel over the years eventually resulted to a happy ending when Rachel decided to stay for Ross instead of moving to Paris during its finale episode.

Stardom came to Lisa Kudrow when she became part of the sitcom Friends. Although she already starred on television shows and worked in a number of movies prior to her participation on the award-winning series, she attracted much attention as the longhaired blonde performer named Phoebe Buffay. Portraying the ditzy and flaky character earned her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1998, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series in 2000 and more than ten nominations from various award-giving bodies.

Although Matt LeBlanc previously appeared on numerous television commercials, he gained massive fame as a cast member of the Emmy award winning series Friends. As Joey Tribbiani, he popularized the words “how you doin’?” and gave humor to the show as a food-lover, womanizer and a struggling actor. In a span of ten years, he acquired numerous Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, and won the Teen Choice Awards in 2002.
