No ‘Friends’ Reunion On NBC’s James Burrows Tribute
Quote:
As we cautioned yesterday, amidst the slew of headlines of a Friends reunion on the NBC James Burrows special, that had not been set, and even the network chairman Bob Greenblatt indicated that getting the sextet back together in one room would be hard to pull off logistically. Now I can confirm that at least one Friends cast member, Matthew Perry, will not be in town to attend the tribute of the veteran sitcom director James Burrows who recently helmed his 1,000 episode. I hear Perry had informed NBC of his unavailability prior to the James Burrows special announcement at TCA yesterday. Perry, who may tape something for the occasion, is in London rehearsing for his play, The End of Longing, which begins previews on Feb. 2.
The series is legendary, but I'm fine with never getting a reunion. Cause 1) 10 seasons was more than enough, 2) the ending was perfect and I lowkey fear the reunion may ruin it, 3) there's so much hype around it that it's bound to fail to live up
The fact that people still got excited for this rumor just proves the show's legacy though. Best sitcom ever imo.
