Ask anybody which TV-show is their favorite, and they are most likely to say "Friends". Since the first episode premiered in America in September 1994, millions of people tune in every week to see Rachel, Monica, Phoebe,Joey, Chandler and Ross cope with their lives in Manhattan.
Before "Friends", the six actors who play the main characters were all unknown. Today, Jennifer, Courteney, Lisa, Matt, Matthew and David are six of the most known people in the world.What is it that makes this show so funny? I don't even know if I can answer that. For the past ten years, the world has been able to follow the gang's lives, which are very funny.Can it be Chandler's jokes, Monica's pedantidity, Phoebe's songs or Joey's stupidity that makes Friends the most liked TV-show in history?
My answer would be that all of the six main characters contribute in their own special ways. Alone, they are useless because something's obviously missing, but together, they complete each other which results in six hilarious people. Every episode of Friends will make you laugh non-stop. We have grown to love the characters and what happens to them. I've got every season on DVD.This sitcom, in my opinion, is the greatest sitcom of all time and it changed the TV world forever. 'Friends' is simply the best series ever aired.The acting is amazing; after watching a few episodes you stop referring to the actors by their real names altogether, even if they appear in another movie.The characters are addictive, none are completely positive or negative. It would be quite easy to get along with or to be very annoyed by any of them in real life. Yet, all of them together (or even divided in groups) create this amazing chemistry that most people desire and few lucky ones have.
The humor is wonderful, no matter what type of humor you like, you will get to a point where you will find at least something absolutely hilarious. There is slapstick, some light humor, some dark humor, some raunchiness, some cheesiness - a little bit of everything. The story is captivating; viewers keep coming back to see what situation fate (being the writers) puts the characters in today. It is truly a television masterpiece. There are, however, many people who scoff at the mentioning of 'Friends'. My guess is they've never seen or paid attention to the show. It is easy to discard something because "everyone likes it" and be "unique", when in reality the uniqueness is actually bias. Just watch a few episodes before making any judgements - chances are you'll fall in love with it too. Any episode can light up your day, however down you may be. I would have serious doubts about one's sense of humor if I heard that they hated 'Friends'.
Well, as for me.... i am expecting the original box set of the complete series - all seasons with bonus scenes and goodies. This is truly a collector's item.
yours truly,
