I think he's about 50% inventing intentions there, but I kind of approve of that anyway, and it seems a reasonably tenable and quite interesting reading.

Actually, she's had severe arthritis for many years and the medication has made her put on a lot of weight and drop out of the business.

I liked Friends.
But I cant stand Seinfeld fwiw.

Once you get over that, it's actually a well-written and, for the most part, funny sitcom. It's nothing special, but with a few dips in form here and there, it managed to remain consistently watchable and provide a fair few giggles over the years. I mean, I didn't CARE whether Ross and Rachel got back together, whether Monica chose Richard or Chandler, etc, I think the writers could have continued to make a comedy round whichever outcome they chose, and I certainly never cared about the characters as people and what path they chose.
If they make these episdoses, I'll watch them, but I don't have very high hopes for them. The fact that Kathleen Turner (one of the most ridiculous cameo appearances/pointless storylines of 10 years of Friends) is involved doesn't bode well.

Getting away from the intellectual side specifically, they all have areas where they are personally strong and areas where they are bad and weak. I can't see that the balance is much different from one character to another, and I certainly can't see any real difference between the men and women in this regard. This is unusual, since the weak man/strong woman (especially in family comedies) has been so prevalent on TV - a relic of sexism that is still there today in quite a few shows. Friends just isn't one of them, though if we ignore brains, the Monica-Chandler relationship more or less plays that way.
