"Please don't ask Courteney Cox to quote dialogue from "Friends" episodes.
Despite the 10 seasons she spent on the massively popular series, Cox has reminded the world that she doesn't remember much about her time on the show.

She recently told "Sunday Today" that her lack of memory put her at a disadvantage for last year's HBO Max "Friends" reunion (HBO Max is owned by CNN's parent company).

"I should've watched all 10 seasons because when I did the reunion and was asked questions, I was like, 'I don't remember being there,'" Cox said. "I don't remember filming so many episodes."

She said she'll sometimes catch episodes on TV and has no recollection. "But it's so funny."

Cox, who played Monica Geller on "Friends," said her memory has always been bad.

"I don't remember any trauma in my childhood," she said. "But I have like three memories. I don't know. I don't know why."

Though her lines on "Friends" aren't imprinted in her memory, Cox said she understands why the series remains so popular despite going off the air in 2004.
"It doesn't matter what generation is watching, it holds up," she said. "I think the comedy is relevant.""

Sooooooo every day is a brand new world for her. I can't imagine.

This is going to end up being like that Frankie Muniz story where he made some off-hand comments about not remembering certain things and then people exaggerate it to sound like the person has full-on soap opera style amnesia

Also, a lot of that show absolutely does not hold up. It works as a time capsule, but the reason it's popular is not because the comedy is relevant

I dont understand why stuff like this is news. I cant remember every single moment I had in my teensor my 20s. She shot several shows, said millions of lines. Im sure she remembers but cant be expected to recollect a specific line and moment on the spot. Just like any normal person.

its like how people say Frankie Muniz cant remember Malcolm in the Middle because of concussions, and Im sure those dont help, but he was a fuckin child to teenager on the show. Of course he cant remember all of it. lol.

all that said, Friends sucked and its weird that it has such a following today. No episode stands out, the characters arent endearing, the show isnt timeless. I dont get it.

Me, I have a pretty damn good memory. It's a small blessing and a pretty big curse. I'd be a much happier person if I could forget things.

how is an older person not remembering a part of their career that was also mixed with tons of other projects... the same as a child who barely starred in anything forgetting everything that happened only a couple years ago?

You have to remember that to a lot of actors, being on a show is just a job. Show up, say your lines, go home. A lot of them never even watch the finished product.

I am hyperthymesic. I remember almost every event in my entire life very vividly.

It's not like "photographic" memory but can seem that way sometimes to people. I can't remember numbers without effort or anything like that. My short term memory is normal, but once put into longer term memory I basically do not forget it ever. I remember the first and last names of the kids in my 1st grade class, for example.

It made school, college, grad school incredibly easy at times.

I do have to try to remember stuff still. If I don't think the thing I am doing is important or I'm bored I probably won't remember the thing that well.

It's not super unheard of, either. Especially for TV actors shooting a ton of episodes quickly.

Memory is just quirky like that.

I can barely remember anything specific that happened entire years of my life and then I'll remember exact locations where I heard a song one time.

I honestly do remember most of my life. I even accidentally developed a system to recall it. Now I wish I hadn't, though it has served me on occasion.

I watched like one episode of the show, only because Demi Moore was on it. And I remember only one joke.
