Friends: 10 Worst Episodes

5. The One With Mac And C.H.E.E.S.E (Season 6 Episode 20)

Friends Joey
NBC

In this episode, Joey is awaiting a call from his agency about whether or not he would be considered in the lead for a new detective series called Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. Whilst Joey is out, Chandler receives the phone call but forgets to write down the message, costing Joey the role. Luckily, the agency calls again and Chandler is on hand to answer but this time remembers to take note. Joey gets the part after the originally cast actor was attacked by a dog.

What sucks: Boom Boom Boom, clip show! Yes, once again the Friend's writers phoned in a day's worth of writing to shoe horn another clip show into the series. This time round, the clip show regurgitates old clips of the times that the group of friends argued, fell out and subsequently made up. It also sucks that we don't get to see enough of C.H.E.E.S.E, the crime fighting robot that Joey is teamed up with.

What doesn't suck: The brief moment we get between Joey and Cheese:

Mac to Cheese: And the Rabbi's beard? One hundred percent horse hair.

Mac and Cheese should have been the spin off. Not Joey.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
