Fast Friends

I was so excited for this show. I am a Friends super fan. I've seen every episode too many times to count. I couldn't even get half way through this show. The questions were way too easy, the host seems super fake and makes dumb jokes, and it was not entertaining or engaging at all. It is so bad. All I can say is, if you'e reading this to decide wether or not to watch it, don't. I will not get those minutes back. But you can save your self.

This review needs more characters. Okay. This show is a disgrace to true Friends fans. I don't know what else I can say about it except that I will never watch it.

The host is terrible--stilted with her scripted comedic moments and weirdly pretentious and condescending. The show's premise--contestants racing around (hence, the "fast" in "Fast Friends") trying to complete tasks in various Friends' sets is...boring. It seemed like a bad remake of Supermarket Sweep. The contestants seem to have no personality or perhaps it's just that they weren't permitted to show any. Fast Friends is just terrible all the way around. The ONLY saving grace is seeing the clips, but if that's the only good thing about this show, then we're better off just watching the original Friends episodes.

How do you ruin a Friends trivia show? Make Whitney Cummings the host. I've never been a fan of hers, and I almost wasn't going to watch when I saw she was the host. However, I thought, "How could a Friends trivia gameshow ever be bad? That's just impossible." So, I figured since it'd been so long that I'd seen her in anything, maybe she'd actually grown to be tolerable now. Nope. Still awful. Not funny. The entire show is intolerable, as a matter of fact. The "challenges" aren't even challenges and take up a lot of time for nothing. There's very little actual trivia time, and when there is, it's done in a way that distracts from the questions. I maybe made it halfway through the first episode when I had to fast forward to the trivia, and even then, the questions were so basic that it wasn't worth my time. Don't waste yours. Zero stars.

This show is supposed to be entertaining but it is everything but that. It's extremely painful to watch, not believable and boring.

The host tries so hard to be funny but she is not. Her jokes are cringey and completely unnecessary. I wonder who is the "genius" behind this idea and why would anyone think this product would be a good way to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

They need to stop doing things like this, because they only contribute to damage the legacy of iconic shows. FRIENDS still stands strong today and we understand it's a product of its time. Let it be the show that keeps us company, the place we'd like to go to when we feel low and bummed.

We don't need "Fast FRIENDS", just good old FRIENDS is more than enough.

The questions were way (no WAY) too basic. Whitney Cummings wasn't funny, seemed like she was just there to get paid and was bored. Why not get a host that was actually a fan of the show? We all got a bit Bamaboozled by watching this it could have been better but just felt slapped together even the games were lame. I love Friends and I think anyone that is a fan of the show would have expected more with the questions. The clips as much as I love show felt like filler instead of perhaps sparking nostalgia which may have been the actual intention. With 10 seasons they had more than enough material to work with and it felt squandered.
