Just what shape was the apartment building? So many walls, rooms and windows don't match up to how the set was dressed for it to have been an accurate building, more like something from Dr Seuss!

Re watching random episodes on Comedy Central just shows what a complete tool Ross Geller was throughout the ENTIRE run. Right at the beginning when he finds out his ex wife is pregnant and his parents are visiting that day, tearing into Monica and generally insulting her he does absolutely nothing to defend her and says nothing about his situation until Monica shames him into it.
It always annoyed me that Rachel "got off the plane" and it always will. |

What do you mean?
The one where the woman is spying on Monica through the window in their living room but she can also somehow see Joey in his kitchen despite the fact there's no window in his kitchen and if there was it would be on the opposite side of the building than monicas |

Rachel's weirdest place to have Sex is "the foot of the bed" but she did it with a guy in her parents bed .. Surely that would be weirder no?

yet whenever you see the door from the lounge which is always open, there is a wall that sticks out, suggesting you enter Monicas bedroon and have to go behind a wall untill you enter the main area. My gripe is vegetarian Phoebe wearing mink. Ok it was only one episode but someone who supposedly loves animals and doesn't eat meat would never walk around wearing mink even if it was a gift. She struggles to eat veal when meeting Mikes parents but happily wears a mink coat. |

Monicas bedroom was never seen correctly either. When you see the gang in there (in the eppie where they are hiding because R+R are breaking up), the door leads straight out to the lounge, and there is a window above the door.

To be fair about the mink she was conflicted about the mink and nearly everyone called her on it

Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I thought in the episode where they are stuck in the bedroom listening to Geller and Rachel, they are stuck in the spare bedroom.
Agreed on the Phoebe/mink issue, I was under the impression the entire storyline was based around her conflicting beliefs and the other friends called her out on her hypocrisy. |

As funny as their insults were, I thought that Chandler's parents arguing when he went missing on his wedding day was very selfish

I think that the window in Joey's room is on the right but isn't that where the lobby stairs should be?

No. The lobby stairs are behind the bathroom. The two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the apartment to the stairs. |

Probably wasn't much they could do with it, Clean/tidy freak Monica has a space that is a mess....Where could it go?
But it was strange to include it and not expand on it Quote:

I've seen this too! I can't think of any examples right now, but towards the end, Courtney Cox does it quite often!
cant think of any specific epsiodes of the top of my head, but I remember seeing repeatedly when vaguely dramtic things are happening or serious things, her reaction is all smiley and stifling laughs. The director should have had a word. |

I've just seen a behind the scenes video that says the bedroom sets were only put together when needed and that more often than not the Central Perk set was directly behind the bedroom doors so they put up small walls to conceal the view.

A bit like Phoebe tracking down her dad which was another thing they included and didn't expand on. She spent many an episode finding out where he lived and when she eventually finds him and they meet up in the coffee shop she never mentions him again.

Or was that just to show everyone what was in the closet?

In real life, it was the door the actors/crew used to access the backstage area and leave the set. Then for that episode they had a props guy push a pile of random of objects in front of it. |

Geller is especially annoying in the Season 1 Poker episode.

I thought Phoebes Mother killed herself? I presumed the only female relatives she met were her twin & aunts?

In The One at the Beach she discovers her mother's school friend was actually her birth mother.
