“Sex and the City” was infinitely worse. They had actresses playing essentially homosexual men and their sexcapades. They’d all have been dead from AIDS in reality.

I would agree with that statement
I remember just a few days after 9/11, trying to unwind and get away; even for a brief time from all the horrible news and images of what I’d watched unfold on TV, watching with my niece, a movie playing on HBO. It was the Nicholas Cage movie The Family Man – good movie BTW. There was one scene where Cage’s character is driving back to NYC and the Twin Towers are in the distance. My niece and I broke into tears and had to turn it off.
So I understand why the Friends producers removed that particular scene at the time, but I don’t find it offensive and it is IMO a funny scene now.
On a related note, the movie Meet The Parents which came out in 2000 had a very funny scene regarding saying bomb on a plane.

FWIW, the video for the Ryan Adams’ song, New York, New York was filmed on Friday September 7th, 2001. I cry every time I watch it.
Ross and Monica were brother and sister. I lost interest when the the friends started dating each other (too incestuous for me) but at least they didn’t get incestuous literally.
I think you mean Ross and Rachel.
Kind of like withdrawing THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE from circulation after John Kennedy was shot.
What is this “Friends” of which you speak?
Give me the “Puerto Rican Day” episode! THAT was some good censored TV!
Your post didn’t sound like it came from a dude, so out of curiosity I Googled Ross and Monica.
So, in my best Mork from Ork voice: “Ah, humor! Arck arck!”
