"Matt LeBlanc&amp;#039;s terrific comedy drama Episodes returns to BBC Two tonight - yes, it was a tough couple of years for LeBlanc as his Friends spinoff Joey floundered, but now the 44-year-old is a television favourite once more, scooping up a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination! But how have the actor&amp;#039;s Friends co-stars fared since the hit comedy wrapped in 2004? This week&amp;#039;s Friday Fiver takes a look at a few of the post-Friends projects taken on by Cox, Perry, Schwimmer and co... Matthew Perry - Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006-2007) We all loved Perry as the quick-witted Chandler Bing, but who knew he had such a talent for drama? The former &amp;quot;transpondser&amp;quot; was fantastic as TV writer Matt Albie in Aaron Sorkin&amp;#039;s sadly short-lived West Wing follow-up. Yes, Studio 60 struggled in the latter half of its run when it awkwardly shifted focus from television production to politics, but Perry remained solid and his double act with The West Wing&amp;#039;s Bradley Whitford was a joy to behold.      Courteney Cox - Cougar Town (2009-present) Cox had her first taste of post-Monica success with the critically-acclaimed, two-season FX drama Dirt, but it was ABC&amp;#039;s Cougar Town that really brought the actress back into the public eye. The comedy has a small but rabidly devoted following, and though ABC may have lost faith after three years, news recently broke that cable network TBS had picked up Cougar Town, granting the Cul De Sac Crew a fourth run! Still no word on if they&amp;#039;ll change that misleading title though...      David Schwimmer - Curb Your Enthusiasm (2004) The man best known as geeky palaeontologist Ross Geller has kept a relatively low acting profile since leaving Friends behind, instead branching out into directing. However, he did make a fun guest appearance in the fourth season of HBO&amp;#039;s Curb Your Enthusiasm, replacing Ben Stiller as Larry David&amp;#039;s partner in a new stage production of The Producers. Of course, in an ideal world, we&amp;#039;d like to see Schwimmer fulfil his ambition to appear in the BBC&amp;#039;s Sherlock or Luther - an idea so oddball it would have to be amazing.      Jennifer Aniston - 30 Rock (2008) Like her on-screen on-again/off-again partner, Jennifer Aniston has focused more on movies than TV since Friends ended. Aside from a reunion with Cox in Cougar Town (playing her real-life bezzie&amp;#039;s therapist), the only other credit of note is her guest spot in a 2008 episode of 30 Rock, &amp;#039;The One With The Cast Of Night Court&amp;#039;. What makes her cameo so fantastic is that while Rachel was probably the most normal and relatable of the Friends, her 30 Rock character Claire is a complete psycho and quickly develops an unhealthy obsession with Jack (Alec Baldwin). Equal parts sexy and scary, we&amp;#039;d still take her home to meet our mums.      Lisa Kudrow - Who Do You Think You Are? (2010-Present) Kudrow&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;floopy&amp;quot; alter ego Phoebe would approve of her slightly alternative career trajectory, which has seen her step behind the camera and become more involved in the making of TV shows. Her greatest achievement is bringing UK genealogy programme Who Do You Think You Are? to American viewers and managing to retrain all the charm and emotion of the original on the crossing. A-list stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Rob Lowe, Susan Sarandon and Sarah Jessica Parker have all made appearances on the show, and Kudrow even decided to climb her family tree in the first season, embarking on a voyage of discovery in Europe that saw her reunite with long-lost relatives and mourn family members killed in the Holocaust.      What have you made of the Friends gang&amp;#039;s recent TV efforts? Let us know below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
