Becoming somewhat of a classic show, Friends screened on television from the 22nd of September 1994, through to the 6th of May 2004. By the time the show ended it's ten year cycle, more than fifty-two million viewers were tuning in each episode. By this time ten complete seasons had been edited, and the show had screened two-hundred and thirty-six episodes.
The final episode of Friends attracted the most viewers of any episode over its ten year period, confirming the episode as the fourth most watched finale on television. When the show finally came to a close, it remained ranked in the top ten television shows for a full week, and it is still considered to be one of the top television sitcoms in history.
The Friends show highlighted the lifestyles of a group of friends who lived in Manhattan. Each episode was filmed at the Warner Brothers Studio, in front of an appreciative live audience. During its time on air, the show was nominated for an unprecedented sixty-three Primetime Emmy Awards. By the end of the series, a spin off show called "Joey" had been created.
The show would go to air every Thursday, for those who have not seen the show during it's ten year stint on television. It was one of those shows that for half an hour, and sometimes an hour each week, people would laugh, cry and the share the episode at work the next day.
Typically with any sitcom, there were characters, six in total, who you would fall in love with, and sometimes hate. The two girls, Monica Geller, and Rachel Green were the best of friends. These two characters were played by Jennifer Aniston, and Courtney Cox. Rachel was a skilled enthusiast of fashion, whilst Monica earned her reputation as the Mother hen to all of the friends. The other female in the group was Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow, and she was an eccentric self taught musician, and masseuse.
Then there was Monica's brother, Ross Geller, a part played by David Schwimmer. Ross was a palaeontologist working at the museum. One of the most popular and recognized characters was Joey, somewhat of a womanizer. and played by Matt Le Blanc. Last but not at all least, was the character of Chandler Bing, a part played by Matthew Perry. He eventually married Monica in the 3rd last season.
Even today, seven years later, the show is still watched around the world as reruns, and it is also available on DVD, so those who were hooked by the show can watch all of their favorite moments whenever they want to. This show created a very large cultural impact. For a start, many different coffee houses around the globe have been inspired by the Central Perk Coffee House.
