    6/10

    Memorable plots but mediocre episode

    Hmmmm...7 is too generous.

    6 is a fine rating.

    Haven't seen this one in over 10/15 years. Could not see this again for that long.

    Ross goes to doctor, yet stupid plot point in later episodes is that ross still sees pediatrician.

    I don't really care about those things...but this is one that I haven't seen brought up anywhere else on imdb.

    Joey and Chandler stuff was funny enough.

    Monica and Ross was funny enough.

    Phoebe and Rachel was funny enough.

    Not a bad episode...but dialogue wasn't amazing enough to remark on...and plots were funny enough. Not hysterical. Not amazing.

    So not a 10 9 or 8.

    Between 7 and 6. Eh. On a whole, more deserving of 6 than 7.

    Another sac fly/single. Not a strike out. Not a fly out. Not thrown out at first. Got on base. The bare minimum of acceptableness.
