Introduction
Ok, so if you haven’t seen Friends yet, you must be living under a rock. After six seasons, countless awards, and a hugely successful run in syndication, the show has become so popular, it’s impossible to miss. Since it started in September 1994, it has become NBC’s top rated comedy, and the anchor for its ever-popular Thursday night lineup. However, just in case you managed to miss this hilarious, engaging comedy, here is the lowdown.
Friends chronicles the lives of six twentysomethings (well, when they started – now they’re more like 30), three girls and three guys, who rely on each other for, well, everything. Their families are dysfunctional, they seem to always fail at relationships, and maybe one of them has a job they actually like. The bond between them is more like family than anything else, and they are extremely loyal to each other. What makes the show so funny is the chemistry between the talented actors – they are all friends in real life too, which makes all the difference.
In six seasons, they’ve been through a lot together – dates, breakups, weddings, children, jobs, and all sorts of random everyday mishaps; some of them even dated and married each other. Not to mention some well publicized salary negotiations. So whether you just started watching or simply want to catch up, here is a summary of the characters, plots, and inside jokes, as well as some information on the cast.
