Friends was called out during it's actual run. See: MadTV's excellent skit about not having any black cast members.

If they could get about 17-20 minutes more audio though, they could get it absolutely perfect.

It wasn't out of embarassment either. Nobody was around. It was food I cooked myself and had plenty of.

I've largely moved past the original childhood stuff. I think a lot of us know it's not our fault and we try to overcome the food addiction but the brain be like that. It was just surreal to have a long buried feeling come bursting out like that.

It really messes with you later on. I tripped and dropped food off a plate when I was 35 (now 39) and broke out into tears because I had 'lost dinner' even though I could just go back and get more. It was so weird to have that feeling of despair come slamming back out of nowhere and disappear just as fast.

What? TV has been shot this way by default practically since TV became a thing, and actors guest directing about as long, since it gives them a chance to try it out.

TV shows being rewatchable on DVD and then streaming and "is it canon?!?!?!" weren't big things before recently, so different writers was just them trying scripts and seeing what happened since it would be a long time before people would see that episode again, if ever. If something didn't work it'd get dropped, if someone went over well then they'd keep it.
