Learn why one episode of Friends was rewritten.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Friends is known for delivering one iconic episode after another, but there was one episode about Chandler and Monica’s honeymoon that had to be completely rewritten. The show follows a cast of six 20-somethings living in New York City and learning to navigate the trials and tribulations of adulthood while leaning on each other for support.
As the show continues to get revisited today, there are a number of shocking Friends moments that have aged badly that have been called out by viewers. Thankfully, there was one instance that was caught before it was aired and was rectified correctly, allowing it to be saved from a swarm of controversy.
After 9/11, this episode of Friends was quickly rewritten to a different plot surrounding Chandler and Monica, in order to be mindful of cultural sensitivity following 9/11. Now, instead of Chandler and Monica going through a series of events related to misunderstandings about bombs and plane hijacking, they find themselves having honeymoon frustrations.
Why Friends Was Right To Change The Storyline Doing a quick rework of this episode was absolutely the right decision. Considering it was airing so close to the events of 9/11, cultural sensitivities surrounding air travel tragedies were especially high. Given the comedic nature of Friends and the way people turn to it as an escape, it was not appropriate for it to contain a plot that would be triggering to audiences, and it would have turned them off from the show.
If this plot line had not been changed, it could have been added to the lineup of infamous Friends moments that audiences have found distasteful in today's day and age. From fat shaming, transphobia, cultural appropriation, and toxicity toward women, this would have been another plot point that did not sit well with audiences.
