Its funny how this 7 letter word took a whole new meaning after the hit comedy show aired on NBC in the US.
A story about 6 light-hearted friends in Downtown,Manhattan New York , the series which ran for 10 seasons straight has left the teenagers (including myself) , adolescents and some adults aspiring to have such a fun-filled topsy-turby kind of life.
Be it the ever protective , cleanliness obsessed baby loving Monica Geller or the super-smart geeky compassionate Ross Geller , or the ever-present Phoebe Buffay and her wild sense of imagination or even Joey Tribianni and his womanizing skills and his zero IQ or the glamorous Rachel Green, the cute yet surprisingly tacky upper-class girl and who can forget Chandler Bing, the sarcastic and comical self-embarrassing "guy". Every set of friends in this world can associate themselves with one of these characters.
We can see teenage boys trying to be like Chandler with their sarcasm or try their luck on the ladies with Joey's infamous catch line "How you doin? "
and girls for that matter too, trying to be like one of the Friends character.
A reason for the shows success is because every single person can associate with it. Everyone has friends! Friends are one of the most vital things in life and all of them share that same enthusiasm when they re with each other and thats what David Krane and Marta Kauffman achieved in the FRIENDS. Even amongst my friends, we are always jostling over about who is like what and all that....Its such a worldwide phenomenon and its something everyone can understand... Sadly the show ended in 2004 but the spirit of FRIENDS still carries on in all of us with our occasional sarcastic jokes or trying to hit on people or trying to be the talk of the town. Theres some part of FRIENDS in all of us!!
