A reboot? That would be a terrible mistake!
Marta Kauffman, the creator of Friends, is fighting for the sitcom not to return to our screens with new episodes. Interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine, she explains why a new season or a feature film would be very bad ideas. "First of all, the sitcom is focused on a time in your life where your friends are your family, but this is no longer the case (...) All we would do is bring these 6 actors together, but the heart of the sitcom would not be there," she said.

In addition, Marta Kauffman is not sure that a sequel would really help: "I don't know what good it could do us. The sitcom is doing very well - with reruns - people love it. A reboot could only be disappointing. It would be called 'The one where everyone is disappointed'."
To be fair, she's got a point.
