Plots(1)
Popular American sitcom Friends first appeared on our screens back in 1994, to little fanfare. The show followed the lives of six twenty-something singles--Monica (Courtney Cox), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Ross (David Schwimmer), and Chandler (Matthew Perry)--who occupied a trendy New York loft apartment. These were essentially six beautiful people who had probably never known a hard day's work in their lives, and whose every utterance was a well-crafted witticism. But despite their idealized lifestyles and perfectly coiffed hairdos, there was something annoyingly endearing about them. Viewers could easily relate to their struggles with work, sex, and relationships because these were universal struggles - albeit heightened for comedic effect. (official distributor synopsis)

Friends (1994)
Ironically, "Friends" is the regular barrage of laughter, life models, and also my favorite series of all time. Each character is precisely characterized, each has their own weakness that they can be caught on, and surely everyone knows someone who hits on girls constantly, makes nerve-wracking jokes, loves science, never misses a fashion magazine, adores cleaning, or is just plain out there. It's hard to say whether "Friends" would succeed even today, but whenever I start watching from the beginning, I find myself at the first episode, questioning whether I could believe that it would go so far, for ten absolutely beautiful years. Very few creations hold so much truth in them, that you can recognize yourself in them, that they are from life. Watching the last episode is like letting your best friends leave.
