Phoebe absolutely sucked
The show actually would've been better with just the 5 Friends. Not only is she a boring character, she's also the least loyal Friend.
shareShe was funny, and she was hot. What else do you need?

Monica was an OCD neat freak and Rachael was an airhead. Phoebe was the only likeable woman on the show.
shareThey could have done more with her and Ursula, or more with Lisa Kudrow blame the writers and whoever green-lighted what episode for when and time-slot.
How the hell do you manage to play two different characters as twins from Friends and Mad About You and still be barely be in the show? Only Lisa Kudrow knows for sure.
It's not the writers fault, it's Lisa Kudrow not being as watchable as the rest of the cast. She has nothing going for her. If anything, the writers tried to make her more interesting with the wacky storylines with Ursula and having her brothers kids.
shareWell, she was a beautiful, tall, lanky, skinny, blonde who looked great in bohemian floor length dresses, often with a denim vest over them. I mean, she isn't winning any beauty pageants any time soon, but she is eye candy in her own way. Depends on what you go through. I think that you're onto something. I think though the real downfall to Phoebe was due to a mixture between real-life and a sitcom because what really put Phoebe's character over the rails and never to recover was Lisa Kudrow's real life pregnancy.
When she was pregnant and raging between seasons? Genuine, authentic, real. She was pregnant and raging in real life then the writers never got over how much they loved it and began using it more and more til they flanderized her.
