    and it's not bunny ears... it's actually a cloth with ice in it tied up at the top of the head(that's why he is holding his jaw like it hurts him...). They used to get hurt a lot in the show...

    I had a question about something for a long time but kept forgetting to post it until now.

    So I got the impression, or was told, that Ursula's character stemmed from her character on Mad About You. But my question is, did they ever mention a Phoebe character on the show? Like did they purposedly get Lisa Kudrow on for Friends so she could be Phoebe, and then have a spoof cameo every once in a while with Ursula, to sort of cross-over that Mad About You/Friends audience? Because I knew that Lisa Kudrow was originally supposed to be Roz on Frasier before she decided to be Phoebe Buffay instead, so I always wondered if the execs for Friends really wanted her and offered her more money because they saught her out for Phoebe/MAY, you know? I never watched the show, so IDK.

    I think they came up with the Ursula character after they knew they had Lisa for Phoebe. It was a fun way to explain how she was on two shows at the same time. I know that doesn't provide much information, but that's all I know.

    I think that's what happened. I couldn't swear on it, but I'm pretty sure. I think they said it in one of the commentaries, not sure which one, and that's how I know what I do. Jen also had two shows, but her other one blew up in smoke. Go to youtube, and find videos on Friends casting. I'm sure you could find out tons of information like that.

    I saw the Friends THS once but it didnt get into too much detail about Matt LeBlanc and Lisa. It was sort of like "by the way, we hired these 2 too" but it mainly focused on Jennifer, Courteney and David.

    Keep looking, there are videos out there about Matt and Lisa too. If you own the DVD box set, check out Friends, the final thoughts, and the other extras. There's tons of information on friends casting. Keep looking, you'll find your answers.

    Thanks. Will try to send a picture of it to you. I have a hunch that it may be a Sony, but?

    If you already have the pic and are just looking to upload it onto somewhere, you can try imageshack.us. Its the easiest way, I think, because you dont have to sign up first and I just find it easier to use in general. If it doesnt work and you'd prefer Photobucket.com, you can do that too.

    Hey Mat. Im reallly not sure what it is and Ive been looking at both photos a few times over. My guess is that its a Toshiba or something along those lines. Are you looking to buy the phone or something? Because I gotta say those types of cordless phones are pretty outdated and it will be really hard to find. So it MAY be kind of pointless to get wrapped up in this anyway. What does everyone else think?

    I concur. I don't think there's much you could do to figure it out anyway.
