Great Exchange:
Rachel: “Guys! Guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what!”
Chandler: “Um, ok, the... the fifth dentist caved and now they’re all recommending Trident?”

For some reason, the guys’ poker game is never seen again after this episode.

And did everyone notice how the six were all seated at the table? You know, TV show/movie style, where there's a gap on one side so nobody's back is to the camera? So why didnt the director shoot the scenes from multiple angles?

Oh well, just some food for thought.

If he had then you would have seen the audience unless it was done with a lot of complex pre-filming which, at that time, was not really an option given the show wasn't a huge success like it would become (at least not when they filmed it)
