Weeeelllllllllllll, it looks like Chandler, Joey, Ross, Monica, Phoebe and Rachel won't be getting back together in Central Perk any time soon—or, er, at all.

Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman has shot down any hopes of a reunion. Why? Well, she doesn't think it'd be very good.

“Friends is about that time in your life when your friends are your family,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “Once you start having a family, that changes. And you have new groups. It’s not that you don’t love those people anymore, but it changes. But to put them back together now when it’s no longer that time of their lives, there’s no reason for the show. That’s all the show was about—that time and those relationships.”

But of course, Kauffman adds, fans are going to keep hoping. The co-creator says she gets asked every single day about a possible reunion. She says that she doesn't get annoyed about any of this, and that she totally understands people's desire for nostalgia.

"I understand that people want to relive that. But you can’t relive that. We can’t go back to that time in our lives. And I’d rather have people’s memory of that be really wonderful than people going, ‘Oh, he doesn’t look good.’ That would be bad. And let’s be honest,” she said. “Reunions generally suck.”

True. Looks like you'll have to settle for all 236 episodes of Friends reairing on cable television at any given time.
