 I never watched this series when it was live and don,t know why.  There was so much good TV back then and I was busy.  I just started streaming it on NETFLEX and OMG SO FUNNY.   I have never laughed so much lately.  With all the awful TV shows  on today and the dark depressing stories, this series is so refreshing.  Brilliant story lines and the comic timing delivery so great.

 

I find myself going back to the time of better TV.  INHO, all the good comedy shows are gone.

It's a classic.

 

I watched it when it originally ran.  I still laugh every time I watch.

I completely agree : )

I watch it every night 11:00 on NICK ~~ I think there are 4 episodes in a row at that time ~

It is the funniest show. So many episodes that I have to sit & wait for my favorite funny part.

Joey wearing all of Chandler's clothes when they fought over the chair.

Joey with the turkey on his head.

Phoebe & Rachel flicking each other's heads.

Bruce Willis being a "neat" guy.

The game show when the girls lost their apartment to the guys. 

Pottery Barn "days of yore".

I never missed Friends.  It was a great show.  It also was a big hit immediately.

One of the best shows ever! I can usually watch just a few lines of a show and I can recall the entire plot. Very clever writing and such likable characters! Have you noticed that the reruns do not include any episodes with Ross and his pet monkey? The monkey episodes weren't as good as the others, probably a smart move to not rerun them.

I l.o.v.e Friends!  

Watch it every afternoon on TBS...but only up to the season when Rachel gets pregnant. Limps to the finish line after that.  

 

'Seven' episode is my favorite...that's when Phoebe

agrees to surrogacy...'I'm just the oven; totally their bun.'

I was introduced to the series in rerun format yrs later.

I've seen the monkey episodes NUMEROUS times.

It was during that time Ross & Rachel started their relationship

(Remember.Marcel poo'd in Monica's shoe?) & 

Ross realized he was going to be a father (Marcel choked on the

Scrabble letter..and went to a regular doctor?).  How about them

singing 'In the Jungle' when they saw him on set?  So many good

episodes....really try hard to find that season...you would love!

@care04 That's interesting. The monkey was a weird addition.

Maybe his agent wouldn't let him be included in the reruns?

I am streaming Ep1 on NETFLEX and it has all the episodes with the Monkey and I found it funny.  Netflix has 10  seasons.
