I never watched 'Friends' on C4 until the last year or so and I'm a bit of an addict. I keep watching the reruns on E4 over and over.

Anyone else a fan?

[mizzy25]

yes its my fave prog. ive seen them all a dozen times i have some on video and i also watch repeats on e4 and it always makes me laff

[Benjamin]

I actually haven't watched in about 3 months. That's the longest in about 14 years I have gone without watching it.


I just realised that Friends is 17 years old, that's crazy.

I love Friends, I could never get bored of it. Such an amazing cast and writing team, I think it's wonderful.

[InOne]

The 90's ones were best

[Princess]

Loveeee Friends, never get tired of watching it.

[jaumoin]

I was a huge fan back in the 90s and when the show was available on dvd like ten years ago, one season was like 45 euros, so very expensive, but I collected them all odd to see the 90s fashion Joey was our favourite!

[MTVN]

I used to just watch it all the time but I'm a bit bored of it now tbh, seen them all too many times

[CharlieO]

Friends is a programme I never tire of watching. I remember watching the last ever episode when I was younger and my whole family was crying together. It was an amazing programme and still is.

I havent watched in a while but whenever I'm in the UK I regularly watch on E4.

Phoebe is my favourite by far. Im so glad they didn't make a friends movie.

At first I was like yay when there were rumours but then I'm glad it didn't happen because it could have ruined it. And if it were to happen I would want the directors and writers to produce it for the main reason to give an amazing final conclusion not for just making money.

If they had approached it in order to just make money, they would no doubt make enough from the movie as i guarantee even if it was **** so many people would see it regardless. Then due to the success of the first one before we know it we would see:
Friends The Movie, Friends The Movie 2 and god knows what else just to ensure it was well and truly milked dry and ruined for ever.

I had never watched them until about 6 years ago because my dad always told me it was s***.

Then I watched a few, and made him buy me them all. And watched them nonstop for about 2weeks or so to get through them all

[MTVN]

Apparently Matt Leblanc actually had grey hair when he was doing Friends, he was having to dye it for a lot of the time

Wont take them that long, they're showing 4 episodes a day

[Kerry]

Watched them all in the 90's and LOVED the show. I doubt I could watch re-runs though oddly

I found the show to have its best era after that time. The best period was from seasons 3 to 6 or 7. I've watched season 1 the least because compared to some of the others it's dated quite badly now.

I'm sure it's the same for plenty of other shows too.

It was nowhere near the best writing ever, but at its height Friends could be very witty.

I hated Ross towards the beginning, such a lanky squirt who whined about everything. I didn't care for his crush on Rachel the first year and then his overbearing jealousy when they got together.
I liked him best when he "mellowed" in season 5 after his 2nd divorce.

Joey I found too exaggerated to be funny by the final season. The Joey speaks French episode is one of the worst pieces of television ever.

The other four I pretty much liked through the whole run at different times.
But that's one of the things I love about it, none of them where given the "main" part it was just a great ensemble. "Joey" proved that none of them worked without the other five.

Yes, in some ways it was good that Joey went ahead. It really showed how much they all needed each other.

Also I agree. Joey in Season 10 was unbearable. He knew what the "animals going to farm" thing meant in Season 1 and he wasn't that stupid, and then in the last episode he just knew like nothing. Ridiculous.

I tend to dislike the episodes with Ross and Rachel together the more I watch them. I love Ross and Rachel together but you want them so much more when they're arguing and when you think they'll get together. When they actually were I was just like, "ugh hurry up and split up".

Friends is the one programme that I can watch over and over again!

I absolutely adore Ross

[cub]

I hope they never make a Friends movie. It was perfect as it was, telling the story of six characters from 1994-2004. It was clear that they all grew up and grew away from each other so what would be the point?

Joey (the spin off show) - what I've seen of it on YT - looked like a disaster, so a good reason not to revive it.

[KG.]

Friends is such over-hyped rubbish, it's one of the worst long running TV shows ever imo

[Sarah.]

It's my favourite show ever.
