Trivia First appearance of Jane Sibbett as Carol, Ross's ex-wife. She was played by Anita Barone in The One with the Sonogram at the End (1994), but Barone was looking for a role as a series regular and was cast as Karen Foxworthy in The Jeff Foxworthy Show (1995). See more »
Goofs Chandler left the girls' apartment and the door closed. He then came in to announce that Underdog got away without needing a key, so obviously, the door wasn't locked. When everyone ran out to see Underdog, they came back and the door was locked, when it wasn't locked just minutes before. See more »
