Even after several decades, the famous NBC sitcom Friends retains a strong hold on its millions of fans. While the sitcom was known for its biting barbs and cynicism, it also had some heartwarming moments that the ensemble shared. In those millions of beloved moments, everyone has their favorite episode etched deep into their hearts. This also includes Courteney Cox, whose favorite episode depicts her channeling her inner Monica.

In a flashback interview, the Homecourt creator discussed her favorite episode, which also highlighted her relationship with her brother on the sitcom.

Courteney Cox revealed her favorite episode from Friends

Amid New Year’s Eve just a month away, the Friend’s fanatics cannot help but binge-watch the classic The One With The Routine. While it is a fan favorite, it also found a soft spot etched within the liking of Courteney Cox. During an interview on Good Morning America in 2021 alongside co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, the actress declared The Routine as her favorite episode.

The entire episode was centered on Joey and Janine, but the brother-sister duo won the hearts of the viewers. The Routine was a bizarre dance sequence performed by Ross and Monica during the tenth episode of the sitcom to take center stage at the taping of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. While their attempts failed, the quirky dance managed to tickle the viewers’ funny bones.

While Courteney Cox’s favorite episode matched her attitude on the show, her co-star Jennifer Aniston’s favorite episode surprised many people.

Rachel Green was a legendary character in her own right, but Jennifer Aniston‘s interpretation elevated the role even further. While her character appeared in multiple Rachel-centric episodes on the comedy sitcom, Aniston’s favorite episode was quite different. She revealed this in a nostalgic Friends reunion interview in 2016 to pay tribute to legendary director James Burrows.

The actress stated that she “always loved the flashback (episodes).” Furthermore, she used to enjoy it when the scenes were transported back to “fat Monica and Rachel pre-nose job and Ross with his afro.” This surprised her millions of fans, who expected her favorite episode to be The One With The Rumor, starring her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Even though the couple has been divorced for several years, they still share a wonderful camaraderie.
