What's On Tonight (Thursday): The One Where They Get Back Together

 

via Tumblr

What's better than talking about Friends or the cast of Friends, you ask? Why, the cast of Friends talking about Friends with guest stars from the show's history (Maggie Wheeler, James Michael Tyler, etc.) and not (James Corden, BTS, etc.), of course! Tonight's top pick is Friends: The Reunion. A little bit of my soul is gone for choosing this.



Let's see what else TV has to offer us on Thursday, May 27. All times are EST.


STREAMING:
Friends: The Reunion, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max.

Rugrats, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "An all-new series featuring Nick's iconic babies, back together with the original voice cast* in new CG animation."
*Yes and no. E.G. Daly, Cheryl Chase, Kath Soucie (as Phil and Lil only), Cree Summer and Nancy Cartwright are back. But according to Futon Critic, there's no Melanie Chartoff, Tress MacNeille, Phil Proctor or Michael Bell. You do get Michael McKean as Grandpa Lou, though.
