I just started a discussion about how many times have you watched "Friends". Because I almost watch every day, before I sleep when I am in a train. I love the story, the jokes and whoever contributing to this wonderful, classic serial. Have you think about why are they so successful? I always wonder how an American drama lasts ten years. Where do they find those stories and inspirations, if I were one of the writers I would have exhausted my power of imaginations. Where are the source of those stories, why, at least it seems to me that, they always know where the line is, between bravo and a little too much. What do you think?

I think why many people love friend is because they has lasted for so long that it grow with the people who watched them. The other strong point is because there is no lead actor, every body have is own role. No one is more important then the other. Even Lisa Kudrow reject an award for being a lead actor ( i forget what award ) of friend, because she said that in friend there is no lead actor. Well, i really like that movie, it give us much meaning about how important a friend can be, and how dull our life with out them. Very nice movie indeed.

I think it lasted so long because everyone could relate in one way or another. The cast felt like real friends even at the very beginning. Also the jokes and scenarios that played out in Friends were all extremely funny.

well, friends can connect to everyone who has experienced having friends. thus, it can connect to all. all the characters in friends can create a simulation of the real world. most of us can find ourselves in those characters that's why they make sense when they speak, act and do things. plus, the actors are great. they can internalize the characters and follow the story lines effortlessly. they become so natural with the show and with each other.

I love this series of TV shows.Since I started to watch "Friends" about one year ago,I have been fascinated by this interesting American drama.I love these characters with their different stories.Sometimes I would laugh a lot by the funny plot while sometimes I am moved with tears by their sincere emotion.Through this series,I have realised the value of real friendship.I have learnt to treasure my life and people around me,my parents,my grilfriend and my friends.
