Reasons Why I Love Friends

First and foremost, Friends is the best show to ever exist!

To begin with, I believe that the theme music is fantastic. It may irritate some people, but I find it irresistibly engaging, memorable, and enjoyable, with a simple melody and important words.

I also enjoy Friends because of how funny and intelligent it is. Even the titles of some of the episodes are amusing and smart.

Additionally, the writing is consistently humorous, with wit and intellect, and rarely becomes clichéd or cringe-worthy. I even enjoy the plot lines; I don’t find them dull; they are somewhat predictable, but the amusing situations that the characters find themselves in keep them fascinating and valuable.

The director is also excellent, and the photography and scenery are also visually stunning.

I adore the characters; they are distinct and intriguing, and despite their shortcomings, they are likeable.

Rachel is spoiled to a degree at times, but she is also the embodiment of sweetness. I know some people have issues with Jennifer Aniston, but I don’t, and I think she’s at her most beautiful and charming here.

Monica is another strong character, not the funniest by any means, but because of her loving and empathetic attitude toward the other characters, she is almost like a maternal figure to them.

I adored Courtney Cox’s portrayal of her.

Phoebe is my favourite female character because she is so funny; I really enjoy her songs since they are the type that are so horrible that they are fantastic.

Lisa Kudrow is the ideal candidate for her because she perfectly captures Phoebe’s demeanour.

Joey is, certainly, foolish, but I still like him since he is also cool. Matt LeBlanc isn’t my favourite actor, but he’s fantastic as Joey.

Chandler is played by Matthew Perry, who is a clownish and caustic figure who makes jokes almost as awful as Phoebe’s songs but is nonetheless a charming character in his own right.

Ross is charmingly crazy, and David Schwimmer’s delivery is flawless. I adore his priceless facial expressions.

The relationships are crucial to tying the stories together, yet I was never really convinced by any of them.

While everyone tosses jokes and one-liners all the time, the numerous romances come and go with about as much comic uncertainty as a whale could hardly bear.

Some television shows break moulds and explore new territory (successfully or not), whereas others are just incredibly polished and professional genre machines.

The latter is “Friends,” and just because it does it well doesn’t make it a television event.

One explanation for its success is presumably the undemanding regularity of the whole process; another factor could be the way it offers people a warm sensation of belonging to a group of friends. But for me, one of the biggest reasons it work was just how straight an arrow it fired – very safe, very white, very clean, very warm, very American.

There have also been some wonderful guest stars, Elliot Gould as Jack Geller, Gary Oldman(who I really like in films like Dracula and Immortal Beloved) as Richard Crosby, Michael McKean and Danny DeVito as a stripper who arrives at a party in a policeman’s outfit, all but to name a few.

Friends is a hilarious sitcom! Its characters are very likeable and wonderfully played, the situations it puts its characters in are hilarious!

Overall, I love this show, not only for the writing but for the characters. 10/10
