Przyjaciele The One with George Stephanopoulos (1994–2004) Online

When Monica fails to make the anniversary of Ross's first time ever, not just with his lesbian ex Carol, pass unnoticed, he gets terribly depressed. Joey and Chandler take Ross to a hockey game to distract him, but it doesn't help when he catches a puck- which breaks his nose, and Nurse Sizemore in hospital admissions proves a bureaucratic hurdle even Chandler can't take... Rachel is happy to get her first-ever pay-check, till she notices how little is left after taxes, and has to pretend job-pride to her spoiled brat friends bunch turning up in Central Perk. Monica, Phoebe and Rachel get hunky TV celebrity George Stephanopoulos's pizza delivered by mistake, and shamelessly spy on him from Monica's balcony...

When Phoebe, Monica and Rachel were out on the balcony, Rachel knocks her pillow over the edge. That wasn't really supposed to happen, but they left it in anyway.

Matt Leblanc named his favorite all-time "Joey" moment in this episode when Joey childishly pretends at the hospital that the hockey puck is repeatedly coming straight at his head.

It is almost impossible that Chandler would not know that Carol was the first (and only) woman Ross slept with because during college they were roommates and also best friends.

The man of the title is George Stephanopoulos, an American journalist, political commentator and former Democratic advisor.

There is an extended version of the scene when Rachel first sees her old friends and it is implied that Kiki is bulimic.

In the DVD version of the episode, the girls also discuss what Chandler, Joey and Ross (much to Monica's protest) are like in bed.

The hockey game seen in the episode is the New York Rangers vs the Pittsburgh Penguins however there were no NHL games in October in 1994 due to the lockout at the time.

Throughout the series there have been mentions of a Rangers game however in this episode this is the first time that one is actually seen.

This is the first time Monica, Rachel and Phoebe are seen drunk in the series.

In the fourth episode, We discover that Ross lost his virginity with Carol. He stays the entire episode remembering their anniversary of losing his virginity, so Chandler and Joey decide to take him to a hockey game to cheer him up. ( He gets hurt in this episode because of a hockey disc, so we see funny moments in the hospital with our three main guys!)

Monica, Phoebe and Rachel get George Stephanopoulos' pizza by mistake, and they stay spying the hot politician while talking about their personal opinions about Chandler, Ross and Joey.

In this episode, Rachel receives her first salary, and for her disappointment, it is not exactly what she imagined to be. ( All FICA's fault..LoL) She feels even more frustrated after seeing her rich friends, since each one of the girls has interesting news about their lives.

A great episode. Guys go to a hockey game and the girls spend the night together.

Both Rachel and Ross are upset. Her because she realizes that all people she knows are progressing forward by getting married and promoted while she gets a crappy salary for serving coffee. So she wonders if it was a good decision to leave Barry and become independent from her family. Ross is upset because this is the day he lost his virginity to Carol I like it because both of the problems are a bit of "real life" situations and people can connect. Also the dynamics between the characters is great. For example the scene where the girls sit at the patio and wait for George Stephanopoulus while confessing to each other all the things they did is pretty awesome And there is lots of funny situations and dialogues. The very first scene where they talk about omnipotence is a great word play

After it's best episode so far, this one falls a bit flat.

Plot In A Paragraph: Joey and Chandler take a depressed Ross to a hockey game to distract him from his problems, but an accident sees them spend the night at the hospital. Rachel is happy to get her first-ever pay-check, till she notices how little is left after taxes. Monica, Phoebe and Rachel get Bill Clinton's hunky PR guy George Stephanopoulos's pizza delivered by mistake, and spend the evening spying on him from Monica's balcony.

We also have a new opening featuring several scenes from episodes mixed in with the original opening of the gang in the fountain.

And the incredible catchy theme tune now has the hand claps inserted in to it.

The episode was really nice, the starting with Ross being all depressed and Joey and Chandler reacting the opposite way and taking him for the match was really nice. The scene with Rachel meeting her friends was also nice and the second half with the guys at the hospital and girls depressing over was funny.

Ross, still sad from his recent divorce, accompanies Chandler and Joey to a hockey game. Meanwhile, Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe, who are experiencing mini existential crises, are despondently having a chill night indoors. They're down in the dumps until the pizza guy accidentally delivers George Stephanopoulous's pizza to them instead of the one that they ordered. For the rest of the evening, they sit on the balcony, spying on George S and gossiping about their own lives.

Ross gets struck in the face with a hockey puck, and the guys spend the rest of their evening in the hospital waiting room, facing a cranky clerk and a bratty child who refuses to give Ross back the puck that struck him in the face. It's a memorable episode in my opinion and I love the clothes that the gang wears. This is a painfully '90s episode, which is something that I love about "Friends". The episode's good, albeit a bit cheesy.

I enjoy this episode. It's funny, but not one of my favorite episodes of the season, or of the series.

In this episode, Ross is really upset over the anniversary of losing his virginity. And since everything reminds him of his lesbian ex-wife, Carol, Joey and Chandler take him to a hockey game, hoping it would cheer him up. It didn't and the night got even worse when a hockey puck slammed into Ross's face. It was pretty hilarious. And I'm not a person who finds people getting hurt, funny. Only if they're cartoons. But since I hate Ross, it was fun for me. I'm twisted, I know. And when they have to take him to the hospital, it gets even funnier. Meanwhile, Rachel gets her first paycheck, and she gets really upset because the amount is so low. She wants to know who Fica is and why she's getting all her money. I'm sorry if the spelling is incorrect, I don't know how to spell it. So, she starts drinking away her sadness with Rachel and Phoebe and then they order pizza. The pizza guy brings them a pizza, but brings them the wrong one. He brings them George Stephanopoulos's pizza. Who lives across the street, and is apparently a big deal, so they are happy to take his order.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10.

A transition episode written by Alexa Junge that relies mostly on one liners and pop culture inside jokes rather than plot, this one serves a solid purpose in sketching out the characters a bit more and giving the audience a bit more background on the life and relationship dynamic of Ross in particular before the pilot that makes his awkwardness and lack of self confidence seem endearing and warming to the female audience of the show. Neither of the story lines really come alive but do take note of the pizza boy, he's now an excellent and versatile lead and character actor on many a popular TV show in the last twenty years since this aired. Most likely this episode was written in isolation and given the to ahead weeks and months before the writer had any idea how her episode would fit into the overall story arch and that's why you see it lacking in cohesiveness with the previous episodes in forwarding the plot line. Given its circumstantial limitations, this one still has a few memorable comedic scenes, though ends on a ridiculously silly note.
