5/10
weakest episode in series two

Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe people have given this a high rating, so I'm moved to comment. Nothing of interest happens, and the whole thing is about embarrassing moments created by the ludicrous premise. It's just about keeping the two divorced (divorcing?) parents separated at two different parties. Only about 2 jokes are funny, and a handful of moments are interesting. It also shows what, for me, was the least best aspect of the series - the older generation is stupid and immature, and our parents make such poor role models, so hey! - you can do whatever you like, because there is no guidance from the past. Almost all the jokes about the 6 friends' parents are about their bad parenting (ross and monica's), their lack of morals (joey's), or the mess they have made of everything (phoebe's). This shows it in an unpleasant and bitter way, and it really grates.
