Friends 'reunion' finally airs in the US...and everyone hated it

We've been waiting for MONTHS to see our favourite Friends stars (minus Matthew Perry...) reunite on stage more than 10 years after the popular sitcom left our screens.

Teaser clips from the show - which was actually an NBC tribute to legendary director James Burrows - kept us on the edge of our seats.

Now, the TV special has finally aired on US screens, and it has been labelled a "car crash", with one reviewer claiming it was "one of the most intensely boring two hours" he had ever watched.

"[It was] like attending the retirement party for someone you’ve never met," wrote The Guardian's Brian Moylan.

Ouch.

The most exciting part of the reunion - which featured Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Jennifer Aniston all sitting on the same couch - was when host Andy Cohen asked the group whether they had signed contracts saying they wouldn't sleep with one another.

As an awkward silence took over the room, Lisa Kudrow leaned over and joked to her co-star: "David, say something!"

"Well, that was broken!" joked David Schwimmer, who played the lovably dorky Ross Gellar on the show.

"I was not asked to sign anything like that," exclaimed Kudrow.

47-year-old Aniston - who started a beauty revolution thanks to her character's hairdo - shed tears while leading the tributes to director James Burrows.

"We experienced friendship, family, heartbreak, babies, everything, together. And we also had a wonderful experience with the world loving us as well," she said.

"We just really fell in love and adored each other instantly and would hang out at each others houses and watch the show together."
