The best way I've ever heard someone define a fish is "these are the things that are on the seafood page at the restaurant"

And the scene where Major Winters tells Captain Sobel that you salute the rank, not the man, is pure gold.

Oh and Scream was ok. I don't really have anything against Courtney Cox....the rest of them are talentless assclowns who made a literal fortune due to the stupidity of american TV watchers. Also Cox has 150million and Aniston has 200million...just let that sink in...ugh.

I think the discussion is equal parts "are they talented" and "did they have any success post-Friends"

I was going to say "Didn't Cox have a couple of well-received shows in recent years?" but realized I was getting her confused with Julia Louis-Dreyfus*. Though apparently Cougar Town was on for a number of years so maybe it qualifies? I never watched it and forgot it existed

I mean you've still got to put up with goobers gawking at you whenever you get a coffee or run to Home Depot, so it's a bit of a monkey's paw.

Also my friend once said he got a table with his friends at some burger joint in Manhattan right after Schwimmer, and Schwimmer wanted to come back but was told no and actually pulled the "Do you know who I am?" card. Was still told no because this was like 2006 and a Bougie Manhattan joint too rich to give a gently caress. That's my Schwimmer story.

The cast of Friends really don't have to work again because by the last two seasons they were all making a million per episode and and they also get hella residuals. Kind of like how after Seinfeld ended Jerry went strictly low key, doing one animated movie and more recently an interview show because he got out of that show mad rich and has only made more money from it since.

Yeah but there's the important difference that Seinfeld was never funny.

Cougar Town was great after the first half season and ABC loosed the reins on Bill Lawrence letting him do what he wanted with the show. Even let him advertise the show with the tagline 'Great Show, Terrible Name.'
