Lisa Kudrow avoids Friends re-runs

Friends alum Lisa Kudrow says she never watches the re-runs of the hit 1990s sitcom as she would start judging herself in the show.  The actress played the quirky bohemian Phoebe Buffay in the beloved NBC series, which turns 25 this year.

“I don’t watch it if it’s on. I might not like myself (on the show), so I’d rather not risk that,” Kudrow said. She also recalled shooting the pilot episode of the show. “The pilot. Just how thrilling that was. We were like little puppy dogs, just climbing all over each other and playing games. It was fun,” the 55-year-old actress said.

Last year, Friends executive producer Kevin S Bright said the team was painfully close to having an official reunion, but it was not meant to be. — PTI
