[edit] Trivia
[edit] General
- When NBC told the producers they wanted all the Thursday shows to have a Thanksgiving episode, the writers added the Mockolate storyline to meet the guidelines. Interestingly enough, every other season has had a real complete Thanksgiving episode and became a staple of the Friends holiday episodes.
- A break up scene was written for Ross and Julie. The writers decided not to use it, because they were afraid that everyone's hearts would be with Ross and Julie instead of with Ross and Rachel.
- The radio DJ says "Avery, Michelle's sorry she hit you with her car." Avery Michelle is Marta Kauffman's goddaughter. Her parents are, allegedly, who Carol and Susan were based on.
[edit] Goofs
- When Rachel reads the list you can see the back of the paper is blank and then later when she and Ross are at her door he tells her to read the back for Julie's list but the back is blank
