"Friends" is an American TV sitcom which ran from 1994 to 2004. The ensemble cast includes Courteney Cox who played Monica Geller who was a chef, Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green - fashion enthusiast), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay - masseuse and self-taught musician), Matt Le Blanc (Joey Tribbiani - struggling actor), David Schwimmer (Ross Geller - paleontologist) and Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing - executive in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration).
The premise of the show is about a group of friends in their mid-20s that hang out and drink coffee at Central Perk. Romantic adventures and career issues fuel the episodes. There have been appearances by Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Tom Selleck, Elle Macpherson and more.
The 1st Season members of the ensemble each made $22,500 per episode. By Seasons 9 and 10, they made $1 million per episode. Reruns of this great show still air today.

I watched it back then. I have not tried to do it again as I think that it might be outdated.

@LindaOHio After friends I followed "How I met your mother". It was hilarious.

I've always been a fan of the show "Friends" and will still watch it occasionally since it's always on some channel day or night.
I loved the reunion show especially how you got to see all the behind the scenes and sets. Interesting

@Marilynda1225 I"m sure it would be fascinating. I've only been to one live show; and it was a talk show.

I am seeing this on HBO. I heard about it before however, there a lot going on that I cannot even watch a series or two. I stopped watching the series I like already.

Never seen it. Not a single episode. Can’t really tell you the premise of the show.

@LindaOHio — nope, I don’t. Never have seen an episode of Seinfeld or Frazier, either.

We watched it back when it was running in the evenings every week. I watched part of the reunion show on YT, got bored and shut it off. I just wasn't interested anymore. *shrug*

@LindaOHio I was surprised at how little I cared. I loved the show while it was on.

@DaddyEvil Our tastes change over the years. I still enjoy watching them.

Yes, I am a big fan of Friends. In fact, I've never heard of anyone who doesn't quite like this sitcom. For the show's success to enable them to earn a million per episode, it's not surprising due to its super high ratings.

I like it, not sure I will call myself a fan, nice when nothing else was on and can be very funny, but something made me not like it the way most people did. Different tastes who knows but I can see the buzz for the show when in dominated the airwaves more than others.

Yes, I know that you're a big fan. We both can quote lines from the shows.

I was a Friends watcher. It was a really good show. I did lose interest when Monica and Chandler got married and had a baby. Nothing against babies but they seem to detract from what made the show popular in the first place.

I have certainly heard of the show. Have I watched it? No.
I am also not going to watch it because I don't like sitcoms.
Unless they are about war, or monsters - not the Munsters, because that was just a stupid sitcom with monsters. No, The Addams Family was great because their lives were their normal, not the everyday world's normal. Hogan's Heroes and M*A*S*H were good. Hogan's had that 'spies' thing going on beside the comic stuff and by the end of MASH it had gone down hill... but it did have their people either move on, die or whatever. I mean, by the end of the show "Hot Lips" had gone from a one dimensional cut out to a complex and relatable part of the show.

MASH was definitely a quality show at the beginning.

I have seen this whole series twice and want to see it again and love, love it and will probably get the DVD for all the episodes. I cannot tell you why but I just fell in love with it. I guess because I was born and raised in NYC and best friends always found places to get together and talk and enjoy themselves

They did various scenes live, they had the old set reconstructed. They did have a portion that was interview.

I wonder how much they make with reruns. I love this show! I've watched reruns and still do but I never actually watched the show from beginning to end, in order. And I know I haven't seen all the episodes.

They only get something if it's in their contract to get residuals.
