15 Biggest Mistakes In Popular TV Shows

9. ‘Friends’

There aren’t too many complaints about Friends. It’s now considered an iconic show that will go down in history as one of the best and most-watched sitcoms of the ‘90s and early-2000s. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t exempt from making some major snafus.

In one episode, Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica (Courtney Cox) were waiting for a table at a restaurant, and she suggested that he slip the host some money in the palm of his hand so they could be seated faster. Chandler dropped the ball and put the money in the wrong hand during the handoff, but he suspected the money trick was no issue for Monica’s ex-boyfriend, Richard (played by Tom Selleck).

We guess the writers of this show didn’t realize that fans have the ability to remember each minute detail, so it didn’t take viewers long to jog their memory and recall that it was Richard who had initially shown Chandler and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) the money trick five seasons prior. We’re unsure why the writers felt the need to tell this same joke twice and years apart from each other, but we love this show so much, we’ll have to give them a pass for this mistake.
