Sunny Dreams of Mine: F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It is no secret that I'm a movie and tv show nerd :) So you will hear about my obsession a lot, prepare yourselves for a long-term spam by me...

This post is about my all time favourite sitcom (situation comedy) F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It is about 6 closest friends, 4 of them living across the hall (Rachel and Monica, Joey and Chandler), Ross, which is Monica's Brother and Phoebe, the weird blondie, which was Monica's roommate before Rachel. The show was on air for 10 seasons from 1994 till 2004 on NBC and never had low ratings. Episodes had 20-24 millions viewers in average, but the final episode was watched by 51 million people in USA. The success of the show is undeniable.

It all happens in New York, but the main places of the show are two apartments and Central Perk coffee shop.

Chandler and Joey's apartment, which changed a lot throughout the seasons.

Despite of the years passed since the show began and everything seems old and out of fashion, the moment you begin watching, you fall in love with all six characters and enjoy the humor of the show. The way they find a way to your heart and become your friends is magical. The success of the show is also an indicator how much people accepted and became friends with the guys on the sceen. Everyone wanted a group of friends like that. They are funny, they are handsome, they are smart (eveyone in its own way), they are real friends, which will be by each other's side no matter what. Do I have a favourite character? Yes, and that is definitely Chandler Bing :)

In my opinion, it is the best sitcom ever. And as much as I know, it is the first popular one based on bunch of friends and their lives. Now there are a lot of them, but F.R.I.E.N.D.S is a part of an american culture already. The way young people formed some kind of a family and lived by each other's side for years affected the perception of the viewers in terms of alternatve family lifestyle. Chandler's way of pronouncing certain words and not finishing his sentences or Joey's famous line 'How you doin'?' became popular. People refer to them in real life and on-screen. Me personally, always remember scenes from the show when something similiar happens in my life.Humor of the show is simple but never stupid. It really makes you laugh out loud, not just smile, though you have a smile on your face throughout the episode. Every episode is 20 minutes long and the title of all the episodes begin either with 'The one with...' or 'The one when...'. There are 238 episodes in total and after watching them all you wish there were more. I watched the show once and sometimes when I have free time I re-watch random episodes, because one can never get bored of or fed up with F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It is the best way to kill 20 minutes (if you have spare)...
