    The one with Isabella Rusolini

    One of my favourite episodes of season 3. I love the dynamic between Joey and Chandler, Phoebe and Frank and Ross's story is also pretty fun.

    A Much Improved Episode

    A Much improved episode after a cliché ridden last one.

    Plot In A Paragraph: Joey goes all DIY and decides to build an entertainment unit for his and Chandlers apartment. When Chandler reveals he and Janice have a list of five celebrities they are each allowed to sleep with should the chance arrive, Ross sets out to make the definitive list before laminating it, and then right on cue one of his picks walks in the room. Elsewhere Phoebe spends some time with her long lost brother Frank Jr.

    The Phoebe storyline is the weak part here, I liked the lists and the DIY Joey parts though, as they were more in line with classic Friends.

    Why are people laughing even on some serious stuff. One of the wost episode of the show.

    • Trivia
      When Ross mentions Elizabeth Hurley, Chandler says that she is "very forgiving". This is a reference to the notorious incident her then boyfriend Hugh Grant caused when he was arrested for having a public indiscretion with a prostitute in June 1995. To everyone's surprise she publicly forgave him and they remained a couple for another 5 years.

      When Joey moves Monica's hamper to show her the color her floor tiles used to be she is shocked. It's hard to believe though that Monica, being the clean freak she is, hasn't moved the hamper to clean the floor before.
    • Quotes

      Joey Tribbiani: You know how we're always saying we need a place for the mail?

      Chandler Bing: Yeah?

      Joey Tribbiani: Well, I started building one. But then I decided to take it to the next step.

      Chandler Bing: You're building a post office?
