The One Where Eddie Moves In
Ranked #161 out of 236 episodes in Friends
Phoebe is discovered by a record producer who wants to make "Smelly Cat" a video. Ross's new relationship with Rachel makes Monica feel like she's living with her brother again... and she hates it. And Joey considers moving back in with Chandler, but Chandler has a new roommate.
Roommate friction generates steady laughs, but 2.6 jokes-per-minute feels slight for a setup-heavy episode.
Directed by Michael Lembeck · Written by Adam Chase, Ira Ungerleider, Alexa Junge
