FRIENDS’ PROM FLASHBACK WINS
AOL users have voted “The One with The Prom Video” as their all-time favorite episode of “Friends.”
The episode airs tonight on NBC, which had asked AOL users to vote for their favorite “Friends” episodes. For the past six weeks ending tonight, NBC has aired them, from the sixth-favorite to tonight’s all-time classic.
In “The One with The Prom Video,” which first aired in February 1996, Monica and Rachel drag out a home video from the night of their senior prom, which reveals:
— Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) was once very fat; Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) had a much bigger nose; and Ross (David Schwimmer) always had deep feelings for Rachel.
— Rachel, discovering Ross’ true feelings for her, decides to give their romance another chance.
Series creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane and executive producer Kevin Bright chose 40 clips from their six favorite “Friends” episodes, which were then posted on AOL back in January.
About 1.6 million votes were cast for the six favorite “Friends” clips – and 2.5 million “video streams” of the clips were downloaded, according to an AOL spokeswoman.
The series resumes with original episodes next Thursday – leading up to the series finale on Thursday, May 6.
