I’m going to tell you about TV-series named Friends. Show was on TV during years 1994-2004 and it has been one of the most popular TV-series in television history. The creators of the series are David Crane and Marta Kauffman and it has been produced by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions. The series got filmed in front of live audience.
The series tells about six friends who live in Manhattan: Monica Geller (Courtney Cox), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc). The actors were in their twenties when the series started and they were not specifically well-known but the show has made them globally renowned. But anyhow series begins when Rachel Green has run away from her own wedding and she comes to the coffeehouse named Central Perk where the rest of the group is. She is looking for her old high school friend Monica Geller. Rachel is spoiled girl and now she has to learn to live without her dad’s money. She moves in with Monica and gets her first job as waitress in coffeehouse Central Perk, where the group spends most of their spare time. During the series she dates Monica’s big brother Ross Geller and they are in on-off-relationship during the whole ten seasons. After her job in coffeehouse Rachel starts to work in fashion which is her passion. Rachel and Ross have a baby named Emma in the end of season eight.
Monica Geller works as a chef and she is a little perfectionist, bossy and she has competitive nature. Monica starts dating her friend Chandler Bing after spending one night together in the end of season four. The relationships begins with sneaking around because they don’t want anyone to know about them. However, the relationship is revealed and Monica and Chandler get married in the end of season seven. They can’t have babies but in the end of the season 10 they adopt twins.
Phoebe Buffay has lost her mom and dad and she lived in the streets her whole adolescence. She isn’t traumatized by that and she is totally okay whit what has happened to her. Phoebe has also a twin-sister Ursula but they are not in contact very much. Phoebe plays guitar and her songs are quite unique and she is also a masseuse. Phoebe has one serious relationship with Mike Hannigan (Paul Rudd) and they get married in the last season.
Ross Geller is a paleontologist and in the beginning of the show he is divorcing from her lesbian-wife Carol Willick (Jane Sibbet). In the end of season one Carol gives birth to her and Ross’ children Ben (Cole Sprouse). Ross has on-off-relationship with Rachel and when they are off several years Ross gets married with Emily Waltham (Helen Baxendale) in the end of season four. Marriage doesn’t last long because Ross says Rachel’s name at the altar. Rachel and Ross also get married in Vegas when they were very drunk and that marriage also ends in divorce. So Ross is divorced three times and he is often joked about it. In the end of last season Ross and Rachel finally get back together.
Chandler Bing is the humor-man of the group and he makes a lot of sarcastic jokes about almost everything. In the first seasons he works in big corporation but later he quits his job and starts working with advertising. He is quite scared of commitment before he gets married with Monica. Chandler has quite odd past, because he is son of an erotic novelist mother and his dad is drag-queen in Las Vegas.
Joey Tribbiani is an actor and he is good with the ladies and he has many short-term girlfriends. He is not one of the smartest one, but he is an innocent and caring character with good intentions. Joey lives with Chandler for several years but when Monica and Chandler move in together Joey starts to live with Rachel.
The soundtrack of FRIENDS is I’ll be there for you by The Rembrandts. It was sold 500 000 copies in November 1995. The song I’ll be there for you is written by David Crane and Marta Kauffman and in the music video of the song there is all the six main characters from FRIENDS dancing and singing with The Rembrandts.
In my opinion FRIENDS is one of the best comedy series there has ever been. All the actors and writers have done great job and the characters are lovable and the humor is good. I recommend watching this series for all of you!
