I love this show... just recently started watching it!
Chandler is my fave even though that choice was hard to make!
Not a fan of Ross at all!

For example.
3 back to back episodes starting at 5pm on E4. All repeated again at 8.30pm.
You've only just started watching it ?? :eek:
Well, what happens in the final ever episode is.....
I don't know, because I've never watched Friends !!
Stick with it, Ross has his moments.
I chopped and changed my favourites over the years but they really all had their chances to shine.
I would go along with that. For those of us who have watched the lot, it's great "work" viewing now. You get get your work done while it's on and look up when you know a good bit is coming. Although Brendan T does not have that luxury just yet.
My order of best Friends goes: Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, Ross, Monica, Rachel
Although someone said above that they all do have very funny moments and at different times in the shows run, the top 4 all held top spot at one time or another.
Hope you enjoy it though Brendan T. It's weird to think of someone who hasn't seen Friends though cos it's such an iconic sitcom which has been repeated for so long.
Biggest moment for me was when Ross said Rachels name at the vows instead of Emilys!
Do all the series finales end with a will they won't they between them... gets tiresome after a while.
Love Chandelr and Monica together! I thought they should be together by Season 2!
I never liked Ross much at first, but one I'd watched the whole show a few times I came to love him.
That's my order too, more or less. I would maybe swap Ross for Joey, and like you the top four changes. I still really like Monica and Rachel, but they are in the bottom two for me.
I loved it when Ross said Rachel's name - brilliant moment.
I've seen all episodes countless times but I still enjoy them.
Like someone else said, my favourite changes from season to season, sometimes episode to episode.
They are all so different and unique in their own way.
Joey was probably the weakest character IMO so I was surprised when he got the spin-off. He just seemed to get more stupid as the seasons went on.
I don't think any of the characters would've worked on their own in a spin-off because unlike Cheers for example, all the main characters had a story going on in every episode involving each other so taking one of them away in a whole new surrounding and different characters wouldn't (and didn't) work.
Yeah but it was rubbish
why? how?
Dunno. I watched the first one.
Didnt bother with the rest. It just didnt "do" it for me
It just wasn't funny. I think they were hoping for another Frasier but Frasier was removed enough from the other characters in Cheers that it didn't matter that he was transplanted out of there.
The joy of Friends was that it was an ensemble and it worked best when the six of them or a combination of them were together. Remove the other five and it falls flat on its face.
For reasons that you will discover it would have been impossible for any of the other five to have a spin off in practical terms and so it was left to Matt Le Blanc who simply wasn't good enough on his own to carry a show.
It wasn't entirely terrible, there were one or two funny moments but it just didn't work.
As for my favourites, it's a toss up between Phoebe and Chandler with Monica and Joey close behind. Rachel I was always a bit :yawn: about but from beginning to end I hated Ross. I don't know why, maybe I just didn't like David Schwimmer or maybe it was the storylines that he had but I just never liked him. I always felt there was too much emphasis on Ross (probably to keep Schwimmer from walking since he was always threatening to) and I didn't find him an interesting character, his storylines just got more and more unbelievable as the series went along. I think almost every end of season climax was about Ross in some way.
The main show was rubbish, and Joey was very rubbish! (yeah just my opinion!)
I guess it was funny in places but for me what spoilt friends for me and I mean really bugged the hell out of me was just because their favourite character came back on screen the studio audience whooped and hollered like children, and would laugh at them flushing the toilet. There, said it :-p
She's undoubtedly the worst character in the show. I've really never been able to warm to her at all. The things she says arent even funny, are just rude, incredibly self centred and arrogant
Seriously everyone slags of Emily despite her fiance saying Rachel's name at the altar. It actually dumbfounds me.
I just dont like Rachel at all she is a whiney, selfish, conniving bitch
I liked Friends when it first came on, but the seasons went on too long and it all got a bit tedious and annoying in the end, what with all the bitching and shallowness.
It's one of those shows where they should have quit while they were ahead, but they didn't.
Why did David threaten to quit?
