Friends (TV Series) The One Where Eddie Won't Go (1996) User Reviews

Another Excellent Episode

[slightlymad22 · 9/10 · 11 December 2014]

It's a shame we say goodbye to Adam Goldberg as he has been brilliant, but who didn't want Joey and Chandler living side by side again?? Plot In A Paragraph: Chandler is disturbed when he finds Eddie watching him sleep, so he demands he moves out. Eddie doesn't seem to take that or several other hints, meanwhile Joey is struggling with bills now he has lost his 'Days Of Our Lives' job, and is refusing to audition for roles of lesser quality, and the girls all become addicted to an empowering book.

I love this episode, the girls storyline slightly lets it down, but that is more than made up for by Matthew Perry, Matt Le Blanc and Adam Goldberg.

The One Where Eddie Won't Go

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 6 May 2008]

Chandler stays frightened with Eddie's strange habit of seeing him sleep, and decides to expel him from his apartment once and for all, using the same lunatic tactics that Eddie usually does day by day.

Phoebe,Rachel and Monica starts to talk about a feminist book called 'Be your Own Wind Keeper'', who calls women ''godesses'' and says how men ''steal their wind''.

Joey stays full of bills and debts because of the new stuff he bought for his new apartment, and now, unemployed, he refuses to take small roles as a job.

Joey comes back to his ex apartment, to live with Chandler again.

The One Where Eddie Won't Go

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 20 June 2011]

In this episode Eddie becomes even crazier and creepier. Again I would like to say that Adamn Goldberg did a great job. And so did people who came up with the ideas of everything Eddie was doing: watching Chandler sleep, absolutely not remember what happened the day before etc. I did cringe when he took the poor goldfish out of the aquarium and put it into his pocket, but since I am sure no real fish was hurt, it's all good, lol

Girls reading the book that taught them hoe to be "goddesses" that don't let "men steal their wind" was great as well. I love the fight they had and all the things they yelled at each other

And we did get a happy ending where Joey finally returns to Chandler, those too should not be separated for long!

Three plots are perfect.

[brindrobnjak · 10/10 · 5 January 2020]

This episode is one if the very best of the entire season 2. All three plots are hilarious, and I especially loved the girls reading Be Your Own Windkeeper. Also, Eddie is getting more and more hilarious in every episode.

The One With Joey's Decoration On Auction

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 10 February 2018]

Even accommodating gentleman Chandler loses it when he finds out Eddie has been sneaking in his bedroom to watch him sleep. When the girls read a pseudo-poetical hardcore feminist bestseller, it quickly stirs trouble between Rachel and Ross and amongst the three girls. Now Joey has lost his job, his two-envelope Visa-bill leaves him no other choice then to audition for a measly part beneath a former soap star's dignity and standing by as unpaid stuff is carried off, except a porcelain dog which Ross ransoms after regretting having told Joey to do anything for material security, as he would. Since Eddie simply forgets his move marching orders, Chandler first spends a night at Monica's but then finds the perfect way to solve both his and Joey's problem.

Goody

[bevo-13678 · 10/10 · 6 April 2021]

I like the bit where there is an awkward and potentially funny situation.

The seventh one

[safenoe · 9/10 · 28 March 2024]

Adam Goldberg as Eddie could have been kind of like the seventh Friend, and upon reflection it's hard to imagine how a seventh Friend could have fitted in, kind of like a fifth Beatle and all init. James Michael Tyler makes another memorable appearance as Gunther, and it's a shame Gunther didn't get a spin-off series like Frasier did from Cheers. Okay, okay, yes we had the Joey spin-off but I guess it sounded like a kind of a good idea at the time but we know how it ended. Anyway, I'm enjoying reflecting on Friends, having first watched it when it debuted in 1994 and how it's part of society's consciousness.

A fun episode

[studioAT · 5/10 · 28 April 2017]

Adam Goldberg was great during his time on the show, and it's almost sad that this is his final appearance, but it's a funny one.

Credit too must go to Matthew Perry, who doesn't try to beat what Goldberg is doing.

There are some lovely moments between Matt Le Blanc and David Schwimmer in this episode too, as poor Joey has to cope with the fact he's no longer a big time actor.

I could take or leave the other story line involving the girls though, but that's personal choice.
