Show Friendships Characters Differences Male Female Funny Tv

Friends was a very popular American "sitcom" (situation comedy; a funny TV program where the same characters have different experiences in each episode). New episodes were "aired" (were shown on TV) from 1994 to 2004, and more than 52 million Americans watched the "series finale" (the last show in a series).

The show "revolves around" (is about) a group of six friends: Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross. They live in New York City and the show is about their daily lives and their relationships with each other. Most of them have jobs, at least most of the time, but very little of the show is about their work. Instead, most of the scenes are in their apartments, where some of them live with each other as roommates. Other scenes are at the Central Perk "coffee house" (café), where they spend a lot of time drinking coffee and talking with each other.

The characters often fall in love with each other and with other "guest actors" (people who appear on only one or a few episodes in a TV series). Ross and Rachel have an "off-and-on relationship" (a relationship where the man and woman repeatedly break up and get back together again), getting married and divorced, and having a child together "out of wedlock" (while not married). Chandler and Monica also eventually fall in love on the series and get married, adopting children.

The show is "humorous" (funny), showing the characters doing funny things and often getting into trouble for doing certain things or for making mistakes in their lives. Although there were "trials" (difficult times), the one thing that never changed was the close friendships among these six characters.
