Friends Box Set Dvd

Friends is a classic television show that aired from September 22, 1994 to May 6. 2004 on NBC. When the show ended, over fifty two million viewers in America watched it. It was Friend’s two hundred and thirty six episode and ten complete seasons were cut and finished.

At that time and point, it was the most viewed episode in a decade and in TV history was the fourth series finale that was the most watched. When the show ended, it still was ranked in the top ten TV rankings for the week. It is considered as one the best TV sitcoms in history.

Friends was set in Manhattan around a very close group of friends and about their lifes. But, the show actually was filmed in front of a live audience at the famous Warner Bros. Studios. Overall, Friends was nominated for an historic sixty-three Emmy Awards for Primetime. The show even created a spinoff named Joey after Friends ended.

If a person has never seen the show before it is a sitcom that aired every Thursday. For thirty minutes or sometimes an hour each week everyone would get a barrel of laughs, cry, and share with their friends the next day about what happened with our favorite Friends.

There are six characters that everyone grew to love and even hate at times. Rachel Green and Monica Geller were best friends. Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox respectively played the characters. Rachel was a fashion enthusiast, and Monica was the mama hen of the entire group of Friends. Phoeby Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow is a musician that is self taught and a masseuse that totally eccentric.

Monica’s brother, Ross Geller is played by David Schwimmer. He works at a museum as a paleontologist. Another character Joey, is the womanizer on the show and is played by Matt Le Blanc. Chandler Bing, played by Matthew Perry eventually marries Monica in the seventh season. He is in statistical analysis.

Even in today’s times Friend’s is watched as reruns on TV and people can buy the complete series on DVD to relive their favorite moments. There was a huge cultural impact also. Like the Central Perk Coffee House has inspired a lot of coffee houses not just in America but throughout the globe.

So, if you have never seen this great sitcom, rent it sometime and watch it. You will see why the whole world fell in love with Friends.

I’m a Friends fan to say the least. The show lasted into ten series spanning over 20 episodes each, and episodes that are still played regularly on TV today, still 10 years on. The show has won major awards, for both on screen performance and critical acclaim. I have the box set, have visited the set, and got the t-shirt. But why it is so popular?

Characters. Ross, Rachel, Monica, chandler, phoebe and Joey are some of the most recognisable personalities to grace our screens. Most importantly they are likeable yet human, each with different personalities and flaws that make you want to know more about them.

Storylines. Despite being a sitcom, friends has clear and ever evolving plot lines, bringing in the audience and making them hungry for more.

Romance. We all love a romance and Ross and Rachel were it on friends. With their, will they, won’t they, storyline; they added greater suspense to the on screen drama.

Chandler and Monica looked at the more grown up issues of marriage, fertility and moving out to the suburbs.

Physical comedy. Friends is witty and easy to watch but they add into the mix some great physical comedy, especially from the male characters Chandler and Joey.

Set and Costumes. The sets on friends are beautifully designed yet remain constant throughout each season, creating a vibe with the audience and a warm familiarity.

Each character has an individual style with the most vibrant being phoebe, with all this being set against the stunning background of New York City.

Awesome guest stars. Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Charlie Sheen, Danny Devito but to name a few plus some fabulous recurring unknowns such as Gunther and Janice gave the series different ways to enhance storylines and engage the audience.

Animals and children. Friends’ breaks the oldest law of TV ‘never work with animals or children.’ Marcel the monkey was my personal favourite.
