Fans are never going to get the "Friends" reunion show they desperately want, but at least they can see the cast reunite next month on NBC. As Janet would obnoxiously say, "Oh. My. God."
The entire "Friends" crew - Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry - will come together on the Peacock network in Feb. for a two-hour special paying tribute to veteran sitcom director James Burrows, who recently directed his 1,000th episode of television.
Michael Ausiello of TVLine.com reports that the event will be similar to last year's "Saturday Night Live" 40th Anniversary Special and that it will reunite the casts of other beloved Burrows series, including "Taxi," "Cheers," "Frasier," and "Will & Grace." The casts of more recent series Burrows has worked on - "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mike & Molly" - will also be present.
Burrows reached 1,000 TV episodes last Nov. with his directorial work on an episode of NBC's midseason comedy "Crowded." His special will tape later this month before airing on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 9/8c.
