I was watching last night and heard the part where Rachel got the cat. Ross jokingly said that what she had wanted since a child was Shaun Cassidy. And that got me thinking. When that episode first aired, I was a teenager and barely knew who Shaun was! What do first time viewers think of references that are so out of date?

And, for funsies, what references would you make instead of Shaun Cassidy? Who was your childhood crush?

So I'm doing a Friends quiz in a few weeks and I was wondering if you could comment random facts about/from the show. I know alot of stuff obviously but searching for quizzes online is ridiculous. They repeat things and never indepth.

So please help a F•R•I•E•N•D out 😏

Not from America, so I didn't know him before watching friends.

I was watching the episode where Monica's parents gave her, her old stuff and there was a video tape in it which had video of Ross getting ready to take Rachel to the prom when her date stood her up

Monica said - I can't believe you did that

And everyone's reaction to it, in general was like he did something really great but I don't get it

I was just re-watching friends and I’ve always wondered why Joey didn’t seem to like Chandler’s and Ross’s friend Gandalf? Was it because he felt like he wasn’t fun enough? Cause that’s not true! Joey is great!

I've found some in-world timelines of events in the series broken down by year, but I'd love to see a very detailed timeline that estimates the events by seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) or by months within those years. Since we have plenty of holidays, weather, and pregnancies for reference I feel like we should be able to get close with exceptions of the writers leaving wiggle room or having continuity issues. Please let me know if you know of a place with this info! Thanks!

I love watching friends/ talking about/ sending memes about it.

Friends is one of my favorite special interest tv shows (along with gossip girl and Gilmore Girls), anyways I do not have anyone to chat about it with. If anyone wants to chat about it/ send memes and edits back and forth, message me

Perhaps a very early Amanda Buffamonteezi sighting? 😂

She does get hate, but I feel a lot of people also think she was justifiable as well. So lets see how this sub feels.

What was the big deal about it? It's just a bracelet. It even borderline looks like a gold watch from afar. I don't understand why that woman ran away after seeing chandler wearing it. Did people in the 90's really go that crazy over straight men doing semi-feminine things and vice-versa?

He looks a little chubby and more mature than the other characters, it's really appealing to me for some reason

I kind of went down a Friends YouTube rabbit-hole the last week where I ending up watching a shit ton of clips. I am at the point where I know every major plot point and how the show ends. Would you still say its worth watching the whole thing still?

Am I the only one who really enjoyed Rachel and Chandler scenes? They had so much chemistry.

Monica seems to be dressed in baggy/ unflattering jeans and shirts / sweatshirts throughout most of Season 4 (at least up to episode 20 which is where I’ve got to in my current rewatch) in addition to having (in my opinion) a not very nice haircut. Anyone know why?

Even if the haircut was for a movie she was filming, why the frumpy clothes?

This is the main thing that bugs me these days when I rewatch it.

They build up Joey and Rachel so well, and then a new season starts and the way they just explain it all away is ridiculous.

Most viewers are women, almost 75%.

I wonder what if wirters never had idea, to make a love story with Rachel and Ross. I think chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, makes that brillant. After 20/30 yeras Rachel and Ross relatioship and romance are controversial. But I think that plot makes tv show that popular especially in ealier series. Friends needed some instresting romance between two main characters. They always loved each other so much, and like Rach said „it’s never off the table”.

I think if Rachel and Ross never got together or crush Ross was only little mentioned. That show would looked very diffrent. Maybe Monica and Chandler would be on-off copule. Or Phoebe and Joey would will/won’t they copule, instaed Rachel and Ross. And Monica and Chandler would be stability copule. Second option would intersting. But I think Rachel and Ross love story get a lot in show
