So why do we never hear from these loud upstairs neighbors again?

Great Lines
Chandler:See you can't tell them apart either!
Phoebe:Yeah well we didn't sleep with them HA HA HA!

A different actress played Gina in this ep

So which one did Chandler sleep with?


By LUIGI NOVI on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 11:40 am:

I believe it was Mary Angela.

Given that the Tribianis are Italian (and if the matriarch is any indication of how traditional they are), why is Mary Therese's name spelled with an "h"?

So.......In the years this board has been here, nobody has yet mentioned what an extremely and incredibly stoopid subplot the "charming upstairs guy" was? That he was able to literally charm the undergarments off Phoebe and eventually have sex with her when she was only going up there to tell him to not be so loud? It was REALLY that easy for him to get women to sleep with him? All he had to do was TALK to them and they would swoon and be swept off their feet and they would be putty in his hands? Wow! Even Joey wasn't THAT good at his whole constant shameless womanizing thing! That's one for the record books if you ask me! (And what was up with that thin ceiling that people's voices from above could be heard through it? That was never shown again after this, either!)

Needless to say, I really didn't care for this episode too much. And I already said that Gina from Season 8 was my favorite Joey sister so I won't say anything about the ones we saw here. Well, except for the fact that Alex Meneses, who played the hot babe Stefania on "Everybody Loves Raymond" whom Robert had a fling with until her father basically threatened his life, also played the tough butch heavily-accented Cookie in this. And yeah, Meneses isn't even really Italian. I looked it up. I just thought I would mention that, as one of many many peeves about movies and TV is incredibly bad ethnic casting. And this was yet another example of it!

You've clearly never met Benedict Cumberbatch ... ;-)

Yeah, but that's YOU, Callie. Not neccesarily any other women. At least none that I know of.

I was only trying to point out the ludicrous and completely unbelieveable premise that this episode showcased. Suspension of disbelief. This one didn't have it. And I usually only said that about the first two seasons!

And speak not to me of the Abramsverse. I care for it not. And I never heard of the man BC before all that was unleashed upon the world anyhow. As far as I'm concerned he's just another extremely overrated hunk stud dude the ladies love but who really can't act that won't be remembered a decade from now. Orlando Bloom, anyone?

So there you have it!


By Callie (Csullivan) on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - 3:46 am:

Ok. I'll remember never to try and be friendly and humorous ever again. My apologies for the attempt. It won't happen again.

And you wonder why people aren't nice to you ...

but who really can't act

You could not be more wrong. But this is irrelevant to this board.
