Seems all I ever do is post to criticise your posts, but a lot of these episode ideas are direct rip off of Friends storylines.

Don't get me wrong this show sounds interesting and this is just my opinion, but like Fierceangel said they do sound a lot like Friends episodes. Just a few examples would be how the bartender in the first episode has a thing for Katie, it sound just like Gunther from Central Perk and his feelings for Rachel. Another would be when Veronica finds a hair in her food and get $5,000, just like when Phoebe finds a finger in her soda. Also the power goes out and this also happened in Friends. Please don't be mad because these are just my opinions and I really do think it sounds interesting. Maybe you could change some plots to make it more your own?

I respect your opinion, but fierceangel just said it like a complete jerk. I'll definately go back to editing. Nothing has to be official this moment. Thanks And since these are just "a few" of you opinions, would you mind sharing more? I'd love to hear them, good or bad. Whatever makes it better. GaGa~Vampyr |

I respect how you are trying to structure your own television show, and seeing as you are someone who wants a career in the media its really important you keep at things like this as they keep your mind active and helps you stay in the mindset of developing things for the media.
Im not 100% about this idea however, firstly I find the title very off putting and too gimicky with the F's replaced with PH and the Z on the end of Friends...in my eyes it needs a different title.
Its easy to say you've ripped ideas off Friends but majority of sitcoms all share the same sort of narrative and structure and its inevitable cross over of ideas will happen.
Things that have happened in Friends have occured in How I Met Your Mother just tackled at a different angle so its okay to have similar themes as other sitcoms.
One thing it does need however is an original hook/twist that will make a viewer want to watch.
How I Met Your Mother has the idea that it is narrated and told in hindsight to his children...two and a half men has the fact it is based on two brothers and one of their sons...this needs something more than just a group of friends as this is seen too often.
Nothin major needs to be re-hauled just maybe a more unique aspect added and a tweek of the episodes to fit?
Hope this helps.
And as I said, if you're someone who wants to have a career in this sort of thing the best thing you can do is just continue with side projects like this, you never know, when you're older you may come back to one or two ideas from this and tweek them to fit whatever you are doing then.

I just mean like some of the ideas that seem very similar to Friends could be changed to still be funny, but more original. An example would be how someone finds a mouse living in her closet and calls the extermination squad, its similar to Phoebe having a rat live in her cabinet, but changed to still be funny, yet original. Do you see what I mean?

Also, are you just doing episode guides as a side project for fun or are you actually planning on starting to write scripts for the episodes?
Scriptwriting is extremely hard when you want to do it correctly, be nice to read an extract of any scripts you may have written at this point.
When I was younger Id always plan out and write my own episode guides for Buffy when it was airing around season 3/4 and plan out my own season 5's and 6's. ;D
Never attempted writing scripts for any of them though, but now Im older I started script writing last year and as I said, its quite a hard science to master if you want to do it correctly and get the pacing and structure right.
You cant just put dialogue to paper and assume it'll all come out fine unfortunately. haha. If only.

Do you see what I mean? (First off, sorry to double post, but i dont know how to fit two quotes in the same reply!) Funny that you say that, i kind of got the ideaof a rat/mouse from that episode. No doubt that this would be similar to FRIENDS, because i definately got inspiration from it! GaGa~Vampyr |

Well as long as keep with stuff like this and involve yourself in school plays/university media projects it will work out.
Immensely hard career to break into so you need as much work experience and gain as many useful contacts as possible.
Im a film student and want to go into film journalism so have involved myself in things like the student paper, film society andnow Im organising my own filmfestival and trying to get guest speakers in etc, all these kind of things help later on so you should definitely carry on with things like this as well as involve yourself in other things to get to know people involved in the business.
Sorry I dont know how old you are so dont know whether your still in school or uni or working etc but either way it remains the same, just gotta keep yourself in the right mind set.

Intresting idea, really nice.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change the title... or at least the notation. Phrindz Phorver sounds so annoying, Im afraid I spit on someone everytime I speak it out. What about Hang together, 2gether, or come together...
