Casting game: Which existing shows should play host to your 'Friends'? | PopWatch Blog | EW.com

Quote:

So last week on PopWatch we discussed whether or not Friends should make the leap to the big screen, and many of you found the idea as enticing as scarfing down a heaping plate of mud. Cut to yesterday afternoon, when my spankin' new colleague Michael Ausiello broke the news that Courteney Cox is joining the cast of Scrubs for a three-episode arc. That got me thinking about what existing series might benefit from casting the five other core cast members of NBC's late, great sitcom.

RESPNSES FROM READERS:

"Matt Le Blanc- HIMYM as one of Robin's boyfriends but one that sticks around for awhile."

"Matthew Perry could be right for HYMYM"

"I want Matthew Perry as Robin's new boyfriend in HIMYM. A recurring role, he'll be Ted 2.0, close enough to see the resemblence yet fixes all those problems like the Gun issue and doesn't correct people all the time."

"If they were a little younger, I could see Matthew Perry or Matt LeBlanc on "How I Met Your Mother" (would love to see Perry spar with NPH on the job or something)."

Thanks for the article! I love the HIMYM responses!

I love the idea of Matthew Perry sparing with Barney at work! That would be hilarious! Now I really hope he makes a guest appearance, so we can at least see that!

I love the Matthew Perry idea!!! Maybe he and Barney could vie for Robin's affections.

I would love to see someone like Tim Allen or Dan Akroyd or one of those old school comic personalities in the show in some way. Not sure how but I would love any of them!

And of course, more Dawsons Creek alumi would be AWESOME!! Busy and James were good, but I'd love the others as well!

I loved the Mattew Perry idea as well when I first read it. I think he would fit in perfectly with this cast

Oooh I love that idea! Anyone of old school SNL would be awesome.

Oh, definitely! I would absolutely love to see that happen!

**DanceWithLife** · 07-22-2008, 08:35 PM

I wonder what faces we might see next year.... Has there been any news or tid bits regarding that?

**no limits** · 07-22-2008, 08:40 PM

Terrible ideas...

God, please don't let that happen!

Dreamscape12 · 07-22-2008, 09:10 PM

^What don't you want to happen?

I haven't heard anything, but I'm anxious to find out!

None of the original Friends should be on the show. Then I can officially say the show is doing stunt casting... which is one of the reasons I didn't enjoy S3.

Dreamscape12 · 07-23-2008, 09:46 AM

I agree, I also don't like stunt casting. I just think if it was done right, one of the FRIENDS characters on the show would be fun. I wouldn't want them to be in the total spotlight, but I think them as a background character would work out ok. I completely understand what you're saying though, I really don't want the show to turn to constant stunt casting.

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-23-2008, 10:05 AM

I'll take ex Friends over Britneys and Mandys any day

You know who I'd like to see from Friends cast? Gunther.

Dreamscape12 · 07-23-2008, 09:57 PM

Oh definitely!

Gunther would be so great on HIMYM! He could work at the bar! That's kind of the same as a coffee shop, right?!

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-24-2008, 11:37 AM

Yep, but not bartending. I like Carl.
