I've seen EVERY single episode twice. Here's a list of ones I wish they made
Episodes:
1. Barry & Rachel's Wedding - I wish they would've had flashbacks of Barry and Rachel's wedding showing events that took place before she made that iconic entrance in the coffee house
2. Phoebe's Childhood - All the stories she has told her friends over the years should've been told in flashback at least once, especially when she unknowingly mugged Ross when they were kids. Since the show came out in the 90s, the Olsen twins could've played younger versions of Ursula and Phoebe and Lisa Kudrow as their deceased mother/aunt Lily
3. Joey & His Sisters - Joey comes from an Italian family meaning they're very eccentric, loud, and outgoing (I would know bc I grew up in a Hispanic family) it would've been cool to see Joey as a kid with his seven sisters and his early aspirations to become an actor

Unless I'm mistaken, at some point early in the series we learn that Monica's apartment is Rent Controlled which is why she and whoever else is living there can live in a 2BR apartment (even then a 2BR would have required 3-4 people in their 20's. Rent Control in NYC limits raises in rent and therefore incredibly cheap, and that can be passed on to blood relatives. As much as I love the finale like everyone and agree it gave satisfying closure, realistically Monica would have passed the apartment to Ross in a more realistic NYC story. I would have liked to see a spin off of Ross in that apartment, proposing to and marrying Rachel and seeing them bring up Emma in the city.

- Clips of Ben and Emma, and maybe one where they met their cousins Jack and Erica
- More flashbacks from Phoebe's past, how she met Monica etc
- Clips of what happened to Phoebe's dad after they met at her grandma's funeral. Did they stay in touch? Did Ursula and Frank ever meet him, or each other?
- Clips of Phoebe and her birth mom later on. Did they stay in touch? Why wasn't she at Phoebe and Mike's wedding? And where were Frank and Ursula that day?
- Clips of the whole Greene family together, maybe flashbacks from when Rachel, Jill and Amy were kids.
- Some closure about what happened to Rachel's career after she chose to stay in NYC.

properly written, a lot of this can be organized as the reunion movie we'll never going to have, with some flashbacks we never got to see written as regular dialog, i wonder if someone could make it as fanfiction, as sci-fi fans have done in the past, it would break any records for crowdfunding, an animated feature with voice imitators could fill a bit of that void the creators refuse to fill (because every single thing they've done before and after friends sucked way hard, and they know it, not because the cast wouldn't do it or they feel that they came to a conclusion)

One episode Ive always desired is a Phoebe and Janice plot line. All of the other non-Chandler friends get scenes or plots with Janice at some point in the series (Joey when he has a problem with Chandler getting back with her, Ross when he hooks up with her after Emily leaves him, Rachel when they have babies together and she gives her bad dating advice, and Monica. well, everything from Season 6 onwards. Its a little bit glaring that Phoebe never gets paired off with Janice when everyone else does.

My pitch for new Friends: the sticom with the following characters:
Ben Geller;
Emma Geller-Greene, his half-sister;
The Bing siblings - the twins Jack and Erica, as well as Daniel, the biological miracle child of Chandler and Monica;
And Regina Hannigan, the daughter of Phoebe and Mike.
The sitcom is about the lives of those six under the guidence of their old, but charismatic and fun Uncle Joey
Probably not the idea that would be popular, but fun to think about)

If HBO is ever capable of convincing the cast to return to do an epilogue miniseries, then they should try to pursue the creators of How I Met Your Mother. I know disrespectful. But I truly believe that the original creators gave the series all that they could. Even throughout the later seasons you could tell they were completely burnt out of material. Whereas the show runners of HIMYM are clearly fans of the series and would definitely give this beloved franchise a proper epilogue.

The One With Phoebe. Phoebe meets Monica while playing outside the bar (the past of Central Perk. She looks tough, but tired. Monica gives her a dime and Phoebe is like What do you think this is? I can see some bills in there! Monica is surprised, and gives 2 dollars. The conversation starts. Sorry, says Phoebs, No, I'm sorry, says Mon, Wanna come in? I'll buy you a drink. They speak, they laugh, they cry, and then, they decide: Yey, move in with me. The rest is history.

The One where Phoebe become s a holistic life coach
The One where Monica owns a restaurant
The One where Chandler creates a sitcom show
The One where Ross, Rachel and Emma live in Paris
The One where Joey becomes a great actor
The One where Phoebe and Mike have free-spirited kids

10. No way. The series ended when it ended. Showing that would just be unnecessary.
9. That would be nice.
8. That would have been hilarious!
7. That would be too serious for a comedy.
6. Totally should have happened.
5. Sure.
4. Why didnt that happen?
3. That should have happened, too.
2. The
Thanksgiving episode, though.
1. Nah.

In my mind, I feel that Rachel would eventually open up a fashion boutique in New York (with Ross' help ofcourse) and because of her background in fashion, it would take off fairly quick, but she would find a way to balance her family and business. And it would begin to open the path to her being in the same circle as Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors.

I think the writers should make a film of where they all are now with all their children in the film. Joey would still be alone but sometimes living with Monica and Chandler. When they bought the house they said they had a room for Joey and Chandler jokingly said in one episode, Wed have a room where Joey could grow old.

Honestly 'Joey' wasn't that bad; it wasn't great mind you, but I would've like to have seen more ties to the original 'Friends' series. That being said a spin-off of 'Friends' focusing on Ben, Emma, Jack and Erica grown up would fun in a 'Fuller House' kind of way with their parents making occasional appearances.

The one with Ross and Rachel's wedding, because Rachel, Monica and Phoebe had an agreement to be each other's maids of honors. We saw Rachel be Monica's and Monica be Phoebe's, but we never saw Phoebe be Rachel's! Phoebe being the maid of honor at Ross and Rachel's wedding! I need to see this!

It's actually addressed someway addressed by script what the friends middle names were that weren't stated. Except Phoebe's.
Monica E. Geller (what does the E. stand for)
Ross middle name is Eustace
We know Rachel's is Karen, Chandler's is Muriel and Joey's is Francis

Honorable Mention: The One Where They Discover New York Has Non-white People!
It always cracked me up that this show is set in a place where 65% of the people are ethnically diverse and yet they only met 7 of them - all but one in subservient roles - over the course of Ten Years.

I do hate when TV shows do weird things, like ignore existing kids. making kids disappear or making them no longer exist. Yes, I know they are just TV shows, but they aren't all the Twilight Zone!
Oh what could have been, Chuck Cunningham! (Does anybody get that reference)

I wanted Mark to tell Rachel he was the one who told the Xerox shop girl to come onto Ross and then they both fight. In the end, get better closure on Ross and Rachel. After all the toxic stuff that happened, this seems well deserved.

The one where Ross and Monica have therapy after they learn that Monica's first kiss was with Ross (possibly with Fisher Stevens returning to do it, walking into Central Perc and asking aloud for the incest survivors)

Having Joey interact with new neighbors would have been a better transition to his movin across the country - could have added to his frustration and loneliness - and might have made the sequel work better.

I propose a sequel to friends. Maybe season 11 or Friends 2. The first episode would be Emma's 18th birthday in 2021 or Ross's and Rachel's wedding sometime between 2004 and 2010
