Nudity, drinking, mild language in live-action sitcom.

Parents need to know that Friends S8 E17, "The One With The Tea Leaves", is a live-action sitcom episode. The series is known for dating and hookup talk is constant; the violence is slapstick. Scores low: the strongest thing we found is nudity & bodies (joke or passing mention, in dialogue). Sexual content is mild but includes Rachel says, "Ew, was Chandler naked? Sort of like a, like a ring toss kind of situation?". Some mild language appears in the dialogue. Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — Rachel says, "Well I’ll tell ya! (Pause) See uh my-my boss and his wife—They-they can’t have children.…". Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
