My final topic
is on the TV sitcom, Friends. Friends originally aired from 1994-2004, but it
is still considered one of the greatest shows of all time. Over the next few
blog posts, I will discuss the characters, the plot lines, and the cultural
impact the show had.
The characters of the show are
one of the many reasons this show is so relatable. Unlike a lot of TV
characters, they seem like normal people and you can find aspects of yourself
within each one, even if you can’t relate completely. The creators of the show,
David Crane and Marta Kauffman, made sure that no character was more important
than another. There wasn't a "Main Character," all 6 were equal (Although
Jennifer Aniston was by far the most popular actress, they always made sure
each of the 6 actors had equal air time.)
Friends is a show that has withheld the test of time. Although
it’s been off the air for more than 10 years now, reruns are still played on a
daily basis and DVD sales continue to succeed. Also, Friends was added to
Netflix earlier this year, which added to an even younger generation watching
the show. The reason this show has appealed to different generations is because
it’s a show about friendship and how your group of friends can change your
life.
