Friends is an American sitcom airing from 1994-2004 that focuses on 3 men and 3 women in their late 20’s living in the same apartment complex in New York City. Monica Geller (played by Courtney Cox) and Ross Geller (played by David Schwimmer) are brother and sister. They are 2 of the main characters and are very close throughout all 10 seasons. Monica is a chef and Ross is a paleontologist who eventually becomes a college professor. Monica and Ross are both very organized and type A, while Ross is more of a nerd. Ross’s college roommate and best friend Chandler Bing (played by Matthew Perry) is also one of the main characters. He and Ross remain close throughout the show and he ends up in a serious relationship with Monica, and the 2 eventually get married. Chandler works as an accountant and is often found making sarcastic and pessimistic jokes towards his friends. He is not super close to his parents and uses his friends as his main support system. In the very first episode, Monica ends up reuniting with her best friend from high school, Rachel Greene, (played by Jennifer Anniston). Rachel and Monica had their differences as Rachel was the popular girl in high school and Monica was often the victim of many jokes from her peers. All throughout high school, Ross had a crush on Rachel but she viewed him as Monica’s older dorky brother but that soon starts to change. When she finds Monica, Rachel has just been cut off and is running away from her wedding. Monica takes her in and eventually Rachel lands a job working at Ralph Lauren and finds her way. Throughout the rest of the seasons, Rachel and Ross remain in an on and off relationship but end up having a child together. Their 2 other friends, Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc) and Pheobe (played by Lisa Kudrow) are big parts of the show as well. Joey is an actor on Days of Our lives and is the stereotypical guy who often goes out with girls and enjoys watching sports. Phoebe, a massage therapist, is a free spirit who often sings in the cafe and gets herself into trouble. She had a rough upbringing as her mother killed herself and she was living on the streets of New York City by the age of 14. Although her twin sister Ursula did not, and the 2 do not keep in contact. Over the course of 10 years, this group of 6 friends experiences life together in New York City and help each other through relationship, family, and work problems.
