"With a Little Help From My Friends" is a song written by the Beatles (and expertly covered by Joe Cocker) and it could easily be the subtitle for the thirty minute comedy, "Friends". In 1994, the idea was created for "Friends": a show about six friends in New York as they navigate their way through life and learn to grow up as they approach the third decade of their life. All, with the help from each other to get them through the obstacles that life naturally has for us. Monica is the excessively neat and organized "older sister" of the group, who works as a chef while yearning to find her ideal love. Ross, Monica's older brother, is a paleontologist with a lifelong crush on Rachel. He is a laid-back man with low self esteem and a recent divorcee. Rachel is the pretty, bubbly girl who spent most of her life as a spoiled rich princess. Now she must learn to face the real world. Chandler is Ross' college buddy and the guy who will crack jokes at a moment's notice. Phoebe is a lovable eccentric masseuse who easily could have fit in with Haight Ashbury in the 1960s. And Joey, the friend who has an inverse relationship between his good looks and his intelligence. He dreams of becoming an actor. These six individuals make up the cast of Friends.

In May 2004, Friends officially ended it's phenomenal 10 year run. The show's time slot was taken over by a spin-off called Joey. less

• Friends-who did this?

  alright, i learned how to make a forum and thought of a great thing we can add! all you have to do is try to figure out who did ...more

  alright, i learned how to make a forum and thought of a great thing we can add! all you have to do is try to figure out who did something. an example would be: who decided to comment on Joey's small feet to get a girl away from Joey? the answer would then be Ross, and then you would post your won question... good luck and i hope you enjoy! Ill start- who makes the best oatmeal-raisin cookies? go ahead! (you may use pics if you would like, just make it reasonable and understandable) less

  Friends the greatest show of all-time. hide show

  The greatest show ever, to see the lives of 6 friends develop all at once and basically grow up with them was truly great to watch. i wish the show could of have somehow run longer than it did but then again the characters were beginning new lives and didn't make much sense to continue any longer. the show had incredible writers and to entertain its viewers for ten years is amazing, not one episode was boring or mediocre. this show is quite possibly my favorite of all-time and maybe in the future a reunion show of sorts would be great to see how their lives have turned out to be.

  BEST TV SHOW EVER! hide show

  This is the best tv show ever. It's filled with laughter but also with nice,romantic moments. The actors were perfectly chosen for their parts as the most hilarious characters ever. I knew and liked Friends for many many years but only about 1-2 years ago I really got into it. I've always loved Jennifer Aniston but through the show I learned to love each character and also the actors who perform so well. Of course there are many oh so funny tv shows but with friends,there is not a single episode of which you can say that it's a bit less funny. Sure you've got your over the top funny episodes like "TOW Ross is fine" or the one where they play football on Thanksgiving but every episode is funny and it's really hard to pick your favourite season with Friends which I don't find that hard with other shows I watch. Friends Seasons 1-10 is just kind of a package deal which you will love. You might find the pilot a bit confusing because there's just a lot happening but it is one of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen. What I'm looking for in a TV show is a lot of romance but also a lot of laughter which is perfectly combined in FRIENDS. If you don't believe me,watch "TOW All The Other Ones" (you can download it or watch it online). Could this show BE any better? ;)

  This will always be my favorite sitcom. hide show

  I've probably watched every episode of Friends more than a dozen times and I'm still not tired of it. In all the ten seasons, there was not a single episode that disappointed me. My only complaint is it ended two seasons earlier. I liked all the characters of the show with the exception of Phoebe who got on my nerves sometimes. But even she was tolerable compared to some lousy characters of other sitcoms. Ross and Rachel were my favorites and the episodes focusing on their relationship from the earlier seasons were my favorites. Loved Chandler's sarcasms, Monica's OCD and Joey's stupidity. I'm pretty sure there will never be a sitcom that will entertain me as much as Friends has done. Hope they all come back for a reunion. Would love to see all of them together again. Friends Forever.

  I've gained 6 lifelong friends! hide show

  This show was and still remains one of the greatest sitcoms to have come out of the US. It has filled so many people with laughter and fond memories that allow the show to continuously inspire and keep new generations laughing. I've gained 6 lifelong friends!
  
  I will always remember singing along with Phoebe, being a dork like Ross and loving when Monica's super competitiveness streak comes out. Rachel will always be my teen crush, Chandler my funny friend and Joey...my bimbo friend with all the picking up tips.
  
  This show kept me entertained for 10 long years! It continues to entertain me to this very day, one can never be sick of watching Friends! When you're down Friends will pick you back up! When you're happy, Friends will make you happier and when you think you've had enough of Friends, you realise that you really haven't!
  
  If you haven't already watched this show and fallen in love, do so, you don't know what you are missing out on. It shows you the true meaning and value of friendship...Friends will always be there.
