10 Worst Friends Episodes

4. The One With Christmas In Tulsa

Friends The One with Christmas in Tulsa

If there's one thing the Tulsa storyline brought about, it was Monica overreacting. Of course, this wasn't unfounded, as not living in the same place as your husband must be tough. Still, it did drag on after a while, especially in this outing. Oh, and this is another clip show episode - hooray.

The One With Christmas in Tulsa gives you what you read on the tin, as it follows Chandler's time working during the holiday in Oklahoma, and the rest of the gang in New York. To add fuel to this fire, Monica gets concerned when she learns that Chandler is left alone with a female colleague.

Seeing Monica getting jealous felt like more of the same. The Tulsa storyline saw plenty of miscommunications and overreactions, but at least the others had some creativity about them (sharks, anyone?). Here, the conflict felt unoriginal, forced and regressive.

Plus, while the Christmas clips were a decent idea, the flashbacks on Monica/Chandler's relationship was another rehash of a clip show format they'd already done - The One With The Vows - making it all the more unnecessary.
