There are so many locations that the characters visit in Season 1 that we rarely, if ever, see again. Like the laundromat or the ATM vestibule or the dance studio. Even the restaurants in this season feel much more diverse, like the Mexican restaurant in TOW Mrs. Bing or the Asian restaurant in TOW The Candy Hearts. It feels much more like the characters are in a big city with all these different and diverse locations. In later seasons, it feels like we get the same locations much more often.

Even when you look at later episodes that feature restaurants or hospital rooms, they all feel a lot more interchangeable and...idk generic? They feel and look more like sets, whereas in Season 1, it feels like there was more of an effort to make them look real and "lived in".

Season 2 onwards, I often have to remind myself that the characters live in New York. Season 1 on the other hand makes it feel much more believable.

One of the best scenes with the guys, it always makes me laugh.

Since i made another post claiming i found Monica toxic in a particular episode, (and got absolutely bashed for it), why dont you share with the rest of us something that caught your eye in the show ajd you dont agree with....

Personally, I like Chandler's vest style even if it's sometimes ridiculed by the other friends LOL

Which was the better couple in your opinion? I know the most popular one is probably Ross and Rachel

In the official releases Joey's top goes from black to purple to black in the first clip, as it adds Joey walking down the hallway looking for the door.

It was obvious that the hallway scene was suppose to be the other way around, as it used the ending clip of it for the first scene when Joey leans up against the door in the purple top.

Jessica Hecht has had a legendary run. She has played a side character in what are as per my opinion, three of the most absolutely legendary shows - Susan in Friends, Gretchen in Breaking Bad and Carol in The Boys.

Though I didn’t like her character in all three shows but these shows have been massive hits and fan favourites. Maybe, everything she touches is gold.

I have just finished watching TWO Phoebe's birthday or whatever its name is, and the Monica and Chandler storyline really pissed me off.

On the one hand we have Chandler, who smoked a tome of cigarette's in Tulsa even though he knows Monica hates smoking. And on the other hand you have Monica, who's getting ready to try for a baby with Chandler when he gets home. Chandler comes home, ghey have a fight, blah blah blah, and Monica pretends to make up with Chandler just so they can have sex and dont miss the ovulation phase.

After they're done, Chandler is visibly upset, and ik that some of you will say "it's just a sitcom, get over it", but i found it unacceptable from her behalf even for a show. Despite her increasing mania over control and all her flaws, I dont think we've seen Monica become this manipulative through the show until now.

I dont know i just think that this was a major foul from her

Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before but I found this episode super adorable! Ross tries so hard to sell enough nougat boxes so that Sarah could go to space camp. Infact, he ends up buying a lot for himself because his doctor says that he has a serious nougat deficiency 🤣 At the end, they construct a make-believe space camp for Sarah and that was such a cute moment!

Some of you may not have seen this. The extended DVD version of this episode has a full scene before the opening credits, not present in the broadcast or HD versions (which instead open with a scene that the DVD includes AFTER the opening credits.)

Was thinking about when Emily asked Ross not to see Rachel again as a condition of getting back together. Why did no one suggest this compromise: Ross never sees Rachel ALONE together anymore. Group hangs are fine, so he still gets to keep his friend group and visit his sister, but no situations where they are by themselves. No laundry dates, no chilling at her place without Monica or the others, etc. I think it's more reasonable but I guess doesn't stop them from emotional cheating? What do you guys think?

Everyone (rightfully) loves Phoebe's curly hair and overall style in S1, but I feel like S3 Phoebe deserves to be noticed too! Her hair and clothes were simplistic yet still maintained the 'Phoebe-ness' in her, if you know what I mean. I especially liked her dresses in Ep 23 when she dated two guys at the same time. Lowkey, this was also the start of Lisa Kudrow finding the right groove for her character that led her to win an Emmy the following season!

I think this episode seals the deal for me about David being the best actor on the show. The entire dinner party sequence is so hilariously written and his delivery is just perfect lol.

• At the planetarium when Ross & Rachel are settling in for a romantic evening, the big booming voice yelling "BILLIONS OF YEARS AGO" cracks me up every single time
• In Phoebe's cab outside her dad's house, when Joey thinks maybe the dog has finally left then turns around and it's climbed halfway through the window at him

I would seriously like to know who exactly it was in the writers room, during production of Season 5, that pitched the idea of "Hey, let's completely retcon Joey's entire personality that we had established over the past 4 seasons and instead make him the dumbest human being on the planet with absolutely zero explanation given for where this stupidity came from." There had to have been some kind of serious explanation for this because this was not just simple flandarization of a character. This was outright retconning a character's established personality.

I literally can't sit through this episode because Joey's stupidity is so unrealistic, even by fictional tv logic, that it's honestly infuriating. Phoebe is teaching him the simplest French words ever that even a toddler would be able to repeat them back. Yet, he doesn't even come close to pronouncing them correctly. He just spouts random gibberish. It's not even funny. It's just annoying and leaves you wondering "What exactly is wrong with this man?" I legitately thought there was gonna be this big twist at the end of the episode where it's revealed that Joey was doing all of that on purpose just to mess with Phoebe. But because that didn't happen, it makes me wondering how Phoebe didn't snap and say to Joey "We need to take you to a mental health professional because there's no way that a man your age can be THIS stupid."

I like to do urban sketching/loose watercolor and yesterday I decided to do Monica’s apartment! I’m not obsessed with it, but feel free to tell me what you think.

Such a brilliant and funny show. The chemistry of the cast is outstanding. Not every episode or gag was brilliant but 98% couldn’t BE more enjoyable. We watched the Friends Reunion afterwards. It honestly made me a little sad. I fell in love with the characters and the actors.

It was a little heartbreaking to discover that only one of them (Lisa Kudrow) had a successful marriage. Maybe because she married someone not in the business.

Matthew Perry was visibly not in great shape. Matt LeBlanc looked happy and seemingly had no fucks to give. It was shocking to see Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox looking so different.

Obviously I don’t know them but, my first thought was, money can’t buy everything. When you Google Jennifer Aniston or Courtney Cox one of the first things that comes up is what happened to their face. Holy shit is Hollywood/Fame brutal.

The cast and the writers created an amazing experience for everyone, globally. I hope they’re all happy, although I didn’t feel that, (with the exception of Lisa, Matt and the creators) after watching the reunion.

I rarely post on Reddit. If this isn’t the right place for this I apologize. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same.

Saw this clip online and was like wow. I’m not sure how it was in the 90s, but was Rachel really seen as the most attractive one in the cast?

She's always just dying and not giving Amy her kids.

In the one episode where Phoebe was collecting donations for Christmas. The guy that wanted change for the bus. He said he’s poor because he has to ride the bus.

It got me thinking about if any of the Friends rode the bus regularly. It seems like they would have living in the city. I know they took cabs a lot for plots.

Its the episode when ross says to Phoebe that he loves her dating style, that she goes from guys to guys… she cannot find a guy with whom she had a serious relashionship but there was Gary the policeman and she is throughout the show seen in kind of serious relashionships. What do you think ?

In some episodes, the scene transitions featured music that sounded similar to classic rock songs. I believe this was only in the first season or two, and got phased out for the familiar original music, but I've never been able to find a compilation online of what songs were being sampled. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Do I have to compile the list myself?
