Old Friends

I was flipping through the channels yesterday and caught part of the Friends double-episode where Ross plans to marry Emily in London. It's also the one where Monica and Chandler first hook up.

This was the beginning of the end. The off and on Ross-Rachel relationship had already gone on too long (and would continue far past the point of caring, up till the last episode), but when Chandler and Monica fell in love and eventually married, thus sidelining two of the funnier characters, that (no matter what my friend Jon Hein thinks) is when the show jumped the shark.

PS Quite a few guest stars in this episode, and the best is probably pre-House Hugh Laurie as a passenger sitting next to Rachel on a transatlantic flight.
