It is a known fact that Monica was the better character. Must be why the actress went on to have an iconic movie role along with an iconic TV role. Maniston barely has one of these.
i recently saw an episode of friends after having not watched it in like over five years, and it's weird how different it seemed.
for one, chandler was so much more annoying than what i remembered, and second was that they were all in their mid-twenties and yet they talked/acted like they were sixteen.
