Fast Friends

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 is one of the most boring shows I have ever eatched and honestly an insult to the shows legacy. I quit watching after 15 minutes where I experienced several transfers of shame. And what is with the basic questions that even someone who barely watched thw shoe can answer? There are so many missed opportunities here. Also, host and players all act so fake it's cringe to watch. Almost every town in thw world has Friends quizzes and they are far more better developed then this cringe fest. Still cannot understand who let this be published once they view it. There should be some petition to remove this from content.

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 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.

I like the concept of the show and some of the questions are interesting. But with these kinds of show, the host will make or break it. Whitney was out of her element. The host should be someone that has good banter with the contestants. Or at the very least has some connection to the show like Maggie Wheeler aka Janice.

Also, the challenges could have been more comedic I.e having to impersonate a character or act out an iconic scene. There's soo much that could have been done to make this a really good production.

I also agree that most of the questions are way too easy. I'm not obsessed with friends and I answered most of it, while some of the participants couldn't.
