Friends: Season 6

Between Friends’ fifth and sixth seasons, Courteney Cox and David Arquette were married, leading to “The One After Vegas” adding “Arquette” after everyone’s title credits. Unfortunately, on-screen it’s divorce time again despite “The One When Ross Hugs Rachel,” since he secretly tries avoiding an annulment of their accidental marriage. Far more out in the open is Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica’s (Cox) relationship. Moving in together creates lots of fun as the others move back and forth into each other’s apartments. It also leads to Joey (Matt LeBlanc) finally showing a tender side toward temporary roommate Janine (Elle Macpherson). By now his chat-up catchphrase “How you doin’?” had caught on, but he needed to fall for someone. He kept the fun alive all year, pretending to have a Porsche, starting work on the show Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E., and falling for Chandler’s (Matthew Perry) card game Cups in the excellent “The One with the Last Night” (one of many directed by David Schwimmer).
More fun came from Ross (Schwimmer) trying to teach everyone the mental discipline Unagi, popping ridiculous moves with Monica for their childhood dance routine and having a fluorescently dazzling smile in “The One with Ross’s Teeth” (also featuring a near-silent cameo from Ralph Lauren). Far more talkative was Reese Witherspoon as Rachel’s (Jennifer Aniston) sister–another temptation for Ross. What they briefly had wasn’t as complicated as later in “The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth’s Dad,” who turns out to be an Emmy-winning Bruce Willis (thanks to having become friends with Perry during The Whole Nine Yards). The fans’ need for love interest and continuity had established the seasons’ format now. Another two-part finale offers jeopardy–then resolution–from Tom Selleck’s Richard in “The One with the Proposal” between Chandler and Monica. –Paul Tonks
