We sat down with Bandslam and Web Therapy star Lisa Kudrow yesterday (look for her EW Pop Culture Personality Test on Friday), and naturally, the subject eventually turned to that beloved TV show of hers. We speak, of course, of Friends The Comeback. Like Kudrow, we’re thinking it’s time to revisit that short-lived HBO series on DVD: Her brilliant performance as Valerie Cherish, a sitcom has-been getting a second chance at fame, earned the show a spot on our list of the 100 New TV Classics, so there’s less guilt than tuning in for Big Brother After Dark. And “The Complete First Only Season” DVD is now on sale on Amazon for $11.99, which is cheaper than going out for mojitos with Slezak and hearing him quote from it.
Anyone else obsessed with The Comeback? And who’s up for a summer viewing party? Say yes, folks! Because, as we know, “People like Valerie Cherish! And they don’t want to see her brutalized!”

another show that was brilliant but cancelled…
Note to self…
This show deserved a chance to get its sea legs. I loved it!
Love The Comeback, Friends, and Lisa Kudrow.
A PopWatch post on The Comeback! Brings me back to the good old days.
As someone who is obsessed with that amazingness, let me get this straight. You got to sit down with LK. One on one. To discuss The Comeback. And you didn’t ask (read: beg) for when we would be seeing Valerie Cherish again. I just can’t believe she’ll never whip that character out again ever. Come on now!
As much as I would have loved it if there had been a 2nd season, I think it would have ruined the “perfectness” that is The Comeback. But having said that… Prove me wrong, HBO, prove me wrong!
Just realized how few interviews there are of Lisa Kudrow. Great show. Perhaps a tie-up special a la Ricky Gervais?
I need to know that I’m being heard.
I hated this crap show. It’s only positive attribute was that it was cancelled, but not fast enough. Vive la Quebec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy, would I like to bang that chick like it’s nobody’s business!!!!!
