FRIENDS
Friends- twenty years old, but to me still the best show ever.
Friends- twenty years old, but to me still the best show ever.
Friends is about
twenty something year old New Yorkers’ lives of love, friendship, downfall and
career. The
series won numerous awards and was nominated for Emmy awards for 63 times. 52.5
million Americans watched the final episode when it was aired on 6th
of May,2004. Up until now, many critics consider
Friends to be one of the finest shows ever. I’m one of the fans of Friends and right about to finish my second
round of “marathon” (just going to watch the first episode of the last season
after posting this). No matter how many
times I have watched Friends, the jokes still make me laugh over and over again
and the sad scenes are as touching as it was for the first time. (Once again the
part where Monica sits down on her knee to propose to Chandler got me all excited
with tears in my eyes).
Just an interesting
fact to know: turns out that initially producers wanted Courtney Cox to portray
Rachel and Jennifer Aniston Monica. However Cox and Aniston disagreed and
exchanged their roles. Seems to me that almost nobody could have been Monica
better than Cox. The writers found that they had to adjust the characters they
had written to suit the actors, and the discovery process of the characters
occurred throughout the first season.

Oh Friends, the best TV series ever of all times. I finished watching Friends two years ago and i can't stop watching it, it is like part of my life now. Every episode makes me feel happy and i'm still the same as i was watching it at my first time. It never gets old. I can't say when i finally stop watching it. Maybe in 5 years from now on, i will be watching Friends still. )
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am a fan of FRIENDS too. Never heard of that Cox was about to play role in Rachel. Come to think of it, I can't imagine either Aniston playing Monica or Cox doing Rachel. You know, it's been like the way it is in our mind for so many years that they played their own roles in our lives; All of a sudden you know they were supposed to play in switch, can't imagine how worse that would have been. I think the way the actors and actresses found their roles are the most appealing quality of the series. Once again I love FRIENDS I have been watching it over and over again for few years :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not big fan of the show, but definitely agree that it is one of the best shows of all time. I enjoyed watching it. And It is hard to imagine them in switched roles :P
