Friends
Have you ever watched reruns of a television series? I love watching reruns of Friends. It makes me feel nostalgic.
Friends was first broadcast from September 22, 1994 to May 6, 2004. It became very popular and has won many awards.
The six major characters of the series are: the fashion follower Rachel Green played by Jennifer Aniston, the cleanliness maniac chef Monica Geller by Courteney Cox Arquette, the tone-deaf musician Phoebe Buffay by Lisa Kudrow, funny Chandler Bing played by Matthew Perry, struggling actor Joey Tribbiani by Matt LeBlanc and paleontologist and Ph.D. holder Ross Geller by David Schwimmer.
Which is your most favorite episode of the series? Mine would be the one in which Monica tells her parents about her dating Richard, who is a friend of her father. The episode in which Rachel and Chandler steals and gobbles up cheese cakes from their neighbors' doorsteps always makes my mouth water.
Another interesting aspect of the series was the guest stars who appeared during the series. Brad Pitt appeared as Will Colbert who hates Rachel Green. Tom Selleck appeared as Dr. Richard Burke who dates Monica. David Arquette played the role of Phoebe's stalker.
It might awe you to know that the series not only entertained millions but affected the culture as a whole, like Rachel's hairstyle being copied around the globe. Linguistics say that the use of 'so' instead of 'very' through out the series has even made an impact on English language.
