Featured reviews
This is an excellent episode of 'Friends', from the second series.
It's a great example of the wonderful chemistry that Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc had, and their whole storyline is excellent, with so many memorable lines.
It's not quite clear whether she's
The other stories are nice too, though the extended version of the episode available on DVD/Blu-Ray does extend Chrissie Hyde singing which takes away from it being 'Friends'.
On the whole though you can't beat 'Friends' for quality writing and performances, with this episode being a total joy from start to finish.
I thoroughly enjoy revisiting it every time.

Hmmmm...7 is too generous.
6 is a fine rating.
Haven't seen this one in over 10/15 years. Could not see this again for that long.
Ross goes to doctor, yet stupid plot point in later episodes is that ross still sees pediatrician.
I don't really care about those things...but this is one that I haven't seen brought up anywhere else on imdb.
Joey and Chandler stuff was funny enough.
Monica and Ross was funny enough.
Phoebe and Rachel was funny enough.
Not a bad episode...but dialogue wasn't amazing enough to remark on...and plots were funny enough. Not hysterical. Not amazing.
So not a 10 9 or 8.
Between 7 and 6. Eh. On a whole, more deserving of 6 than 7.
Another sac fly/single. Not a strike out. Not a fly out. Not thrown out at first. Got on base. The bare minimum of acceptableness.

I love this episode Plot In A Paragraph:Phoebe is devastated when she loses her singing gig at Central Perk to a professional singer. Joey volunteers himself and and Chandler to babysit Ben, when Monica takes Ross to the hospital after an allergic reaction. Of course he has an ulterior motive, and they take the baby cruising round New York looking for babes.
Whilst the Pheobe storyline takes up a lot of screen time and has the guest star, for me this episode is all about Joey and Chandler with Ben. Both Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc were superb, my only complaint (and this is nit picking) would Schwimmers acting at times is a little off, but that said faking an allergic reaction would have me looking awkward.... see I said it was nit picking
