The One with the Pediatrician

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 6 September 2011]

In this episode we get a new great addition to Friends: Paul Rudd. I like the actor and am glad that he was part of the great show Friends. It is pretty funny how he joins them. The way Joey found him and the time they were sitting at the table at the restaurant were great scenes. I especially like how Joey started yelling for another Mike there.

I liked how "grown up" Joey and Rachel were about Dr. Weiner's name.

Sad to see Chandler go to Tulsa. But I loved how Joey was handling it. Especially when he doesn't let Monica talk to his best buddy on the phone, that was so Joey! The way Phoebe acted was a bit weird, I think they exaggerated there, this is not exactly what I would see her do. She may not be best friends with Chandler but she does love him too

This one is very funny!

Chandler tell the Friends that he needs to go to Tulsa to Work, and he is going to stay there for 1 year. Monica is upset, and the Friends are all upset to see them moving, but Monica is decided to stay with Chandler no matter what, since she says that she cannot stay too distant from him. But when an interesting Job as the Headchef in JAVU shows up, she changes her mind.

Phoebe and Joey decide to bring someone interesting to each other, in a type of double date. Phoebe finds an interesting girl for Joey, but Joey forgets to find a guy for Phoebe,since he almost doesn't have male friends. He finds a guy in the Central Perk with the same name he invented to Phoebe (''Mike'') and asks him to pretend to be his friend in their dinner.

Rachel stays calling Emma's pediatrician every time anything silly happens to her daughter. Ross tells her that she needs to give him a break, but she doesn't stop calling him and the doctor ends up giving up of being Emma's pediatrician. Rachel has the idea of contact Ross and Monica's ex pediatrician, but Ross tells her that he died. (Of course, she later finds out that Ross continues to go to the pediatrician, in one of the most funny scenes of all series!)

The best so far, it's just to hallaryos...

What a hysterical episode.. Literally throughout the episode I was laughing as if it was a dose of happiness.. An epic episode and so far the best episode of the season.. The ninth season looks like it will be very great.. The events are dense in only 20 episodes.. Joey, the pediatrician, and the situation that killed me when he pretended That the child is in his place, and then the child turns out to be the son of that woman. It's just so funny.. The writing is excellent and the narration method is excellent, although it is a comedy, but it is written in a great way, especially the dialogues are iconic.. One of the best episodes of the series in general.. This time I truly enjoyed Just 10/ 10 .

A particularly strong episode

This is a really nice episode, with three good story lines.

It was nice to see Lisa Kudrow being given more to do, and in Paul Rudd she has a good actor to bounce off as her new love interest, Mike.

David Scwhimmer was also particularly funny in his story line, and having been paired with Jennifer Aniston's Rachel for much of the last series, it was good to see him in a fresh environment.

I said in a few reviews of series 8 episodes that I didn't like the fact that Chandler was so under the thumb in his marriage, so it was nice to see the dynamic being altered in this episode, with Chandler being sent off to Tulsa. Matthew Perry and Courtney Cox were sweet in their parting scene.

An impressive episode.

Rachel and Ross really need a new pediatrician and Monica recommends their childhood doctor.

Rachel takes Emma and sees Ross coming out as a patient himself.

Joey has to find a date for Phoebe because they planned a double date. He calls out for a Mike and meets a stranger. Phoebe's date for Joey wears a low cut top and Phoebe describes her as easy and loose.

Very very decent

The last 5 minutes, whole thing just completely collapses.

It sputters along for 15 minutes with a laugh here and there...and then just ends with a thud.

Ok to watch again, up until the end of the restaurant scene. Rest is dead weight.
