I love this episode. It's fantastic. It's funny and smart and has great writing and acting. The blackout idea was very smart and very realistic.
In this episode, New York City experiences a city-wide blackout. Chandler is stuck in an ATM vestibule with a Victoria's Secret model. So, as you can imagine, Chandler is very happy about. He spends the majority of the episode trying to think of something funny or witty to say to her, so that she'll go out with him. Meanwhile, everyone else is stuck in Monica's apartment. Let's face it. If there wasn't a blackout, that's probably where they'd be anyway. Ross decides he's finally going to ask Rachel out, but then a lost cat gets in their way. Phoebe and Rachel return the cat to its owner, who turns out to be an attractive Italian man, Paolo. Ross then feels very rejected because Rachel likes him. That's what you get for waiting too long.
Fun Fact: This episode ties in with episodes from Seinfeld and Man About You. All three aired on the same night on NBC and featured the same blackout.
Fun Fact: First appearance of Mr. Heckles.
Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.
