10 Social Changes Highlighted By FRIENDS That We Often Talk About

0

NBC’s hit sitcom and fans’ one of the most favorite shows FRIENDS was first aired in 1994. It starred Matthew Perry as Chandler, Courteney Cox as Monica, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel, David Schwimmer as Ross, Matt LeBlanc as Joey, and Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe. It has been over one and a half-decade since the show ended, yet the fans of the show keep on increasing.

Apart from this, FRIENDS became a treasure trove of cultural reference points. It still gets appreciative laughs even after years. This effect increased when the show went into syndication and then DVD boxsets. However, thanks to a run on Netflix, it made a lasting impact on television as well as society.

Here are some of the social changes highlighted by FRIENDS that we often talk about:

1) Friendship Above All

Before FRIENDS, comedies were mostly based on romance or career. Even though friends in FRIENDS have their fair share of romances and career-related issues, their main relationship was always with each other. Remember, when Ross and Emily’s marriage broke off because Ross was not able to let go of Rachel. Also, when Chandler spent Thanksgiving in a box to prove to Joey that how much his friendship meant to him. They all had many relationships throughout the series, but they never ignored their friends whatsoever. After this, many friendship-based shows came such as “The Big Band Theory”, “How I Met Your Mother”, and “Community”. This might not sound much of a social change directly but given the fact that it influenced the storylines of future shows, it somehow contributes to a society that values friendship even more.

2) FRIENDS Gang Included Both Men And Women

Before FRIENDS, friendship-based shows focused on groups of same-gender people usually. For example, “Happy Days” was based on a guy gang, “Sex And The City” was based on the group of four girls, and “Golden Girls” was also based on the girl gang. By creating a mixed-gender group, FRIENDS had the chance to play around with a different set of dynamics. Even after that, there was also space for the three women to do “Girly Friendship Things” and men to do “Manly Friendship Things”. FRIENDS proved that gender diversity in the show can give varied opportunities for comedies.

3) FRIENDS Changed The View Of America After 9/11

There was no doubt that the gang was really influencing the world and shedding a fun, silly light on this country after what happened to Television after 9/11. The show was in a really unique position, and they handled it uniquely. At that time also, the audiences were glued to the news and also glued to FRIENDS. Because after all, it was New York, familiar, unchanged, and a really good comedy. The show organically added tributes like American flags in the background and New York Fire Department (FDNY) shirts as well. However, it did not attack the storyline and just let it represent the pride of New York and its heroes at that time.

4) FRIENDS Showed That We Can Choose Our Family

Be it heterosexual married parents or be it the problems into the mix, the classic sitcom set-up has always been to start with a family of strong personalities. However, FRIENDS showed the new stage of life where you’ve moved away from your family. David Crane and Marta Kauffman wrote in their original pitch for the show, “It’s about friendship because when you’re single and in the city, your friends are your family.” Having an unconditional support system from people around your own age brings a lot of freedom. And, it also marked the transition from the 20-something definition of family to the next stage when Monica and Chandler move to the suburbs with their babies.

5) Normalized Same-Sex Wedding

Even though FRIENDS wasn’t the first show to air same-sex weddings, a wedding between two women was still considered controversial. While talking to The Guardian, Jane Sibbet said in 2019, “Certain affiliates wouldn’t air the episode with our wedding.” In 2017, she also said that the part of the ceremony where Carol and Susan (Jessica Hecht) would have kissed was deliberately skipped and she was disappointed about it. The show has also drawn retroactive ire for its portrayal of Chandler’s “dad”. In 2019, Marta Kauffman told USA Today that if she would get a chance, she would change the way Chandler’s dad, Helena was portrayed in the show.

6) One For All And All For One

In TV history, the cast of FRIENDS is notorious as they made sure they all got equal pay that is $1 million per episode. You can see the influence of unity in shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and more. There also casts did the same thing and made sure the whole on-screen family is taken care of. FRIENDS also really created an archetype for this gang-type situational comedy. Not that it hadn’t been around before, but shows like “New Girl” and “Big Bang” definitely take their cues from FRIENDS.

7) FRIENDS Changed The Way We Talk

To earn a spot in pop culture, many shows have relied on catchphrases from FRIENDS. For example, in “Family Matters”, there was Steve Urkel’s “did I do that?” FRIENDS introduced some of the catchphrases such as Janice’s (Maggie Wheeler) “oh … my… god!” and Joey’s (Matt LeBlanc) “how you doin’?” Its contributions went beyond repetitive phrases. Some of these catchphrases only appeared once in the show, but they stuck with the audience. They took them, used them, and after a while forgot where they first heard them.

8) FRIENDS Moved At A Faster Pace

Spending so much time at the Central Perk may explain how the creators of the show were envisioning when they came up with FRIENDS. Even though the cast wasn’t cutting out early, the scenes were shorter. However, it took six to seven hours and sometimes even more to shoot a single 22-minute episode. The writers would come up with a new one on the spot if a joke didn’t make the studio audience laugh. FRIENDS was notorious for taking much longer to tape than other sitcoms. And once a scene is finished, it took 20 minutes to change the settings for the next scene.

9) FRIENDS Showed The Line Between Cheesy And Dark

The main characters from many American sitcoms finally reconcile in the final minutes after various hijinks and arguments big or small, preferably with a cheesy monologue or voiceover. However, FRIENDS never caught into this trap. The characters had their dorky moments, but they were still supposed to be cool New Yorkers. If you don’t know, cool New Yorkers don’t express emotion. Even when the characters had a fight, the makeup moments balanced the characters’ emotions with humor. It has become the TV equivalent of comfort food. FRIENDS showed us that the shows don’t have to be heavy-handed to have an emotional impact.

10) FRIENDS Forced Originality

People mostly used streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime to watch existing series that they were hosting but didn’t create. According to Forbes, in 2015, Netflix paid $100 million for the right to stream FRIENDS. Not just that, it paid almost the same amount to keep it for the duration of 2019. Since the networks are now keeping the old content for their own streaming services, streaming platforms have to come up with their own shows and movies. Finally, it may ultimately result in more original content for viewers as streaming services do battle over old titles.

15 Friends Supporting Actors Who Deserved More Screen Time

FRIENDS followed the lives of the six main group members. However, the main cast had to interact with other friends, romantic interests, family members, and co-workers to keep things exciting. Even though viewers excitedly tuned in for ten years to watch their favorite six characters in kooky situations, some supporting characters deserved more screen time than they were actually provided. The focus did not deviate from the six main characters, but it did allow some of the show’s recurring cast to make a larger impression on show.

Today we gave it a thought and picked a few characters who should have got a few more shots in the show. So here is the list of 15 characters who deserve more screen time in the show. Let’s check it out:

1) Janice

While she may not have made the main characters happy, Janice appeared multiple times a season, and viewers were always delighted to see her. There was no one else like Janice in the series. She had a habit of bringing in an extra splash of comedy in the show. There were not moments where Janice felt like an unnecessary addition to an episode. She did appear regularly throughout the ten seasons and should have gotten more time on the show.

2) Frank Buffay Junior

Phoebe’s family problems were immense. However, one relative stood out and made her life brighter, and that was none other than her half-brother, Frank Buffay Junior. He comes into Phoebe’s presence in the second season. After that, he remains a recurring character going forward. While Phoebe and Frank are there for each other in a way that neither of them claimed to have experienced with other relatives, they don’t have the most typical relationship. However, it was easy to see he wanted to have a good relationship with Phoebe, Alice, and the triplets.

3) David

David appeared in five episodes during the series’ ten-year run. While David leaves for Minsk quickly after his introduction, he was the first man Phoebe is serious about. Even though Phoebe dated a lot of men while he was gone, and she never looked like she misses him, they had the same chemistry whenever David arrives in New York. Unfortunately, his lack of appearances makes it difficult to root for him.

4) Charlie Wheeler

Charlie first appeared as Ross’ colleague. She quickly sparked a relationship with Joey. She was a rare character on the show who could match or be above Ross’ intellect. Unfortunately, in “The One With Ross’s Grant”, her time came to an abrupt end. Even if she continued as a colleague rather than a romantic interest for Ross or Joey, Charlie had plenty of potentials to grow as a character.

5) Richard

Richard was a family friend of the Gellers who later became Monica’s boyfriend. They both were in a serious relationship but eventually broke up mutually. He definitely was a character that could have had a larger story than just being Monica’s partner. Moreover, his character was quite intriguing. Though the relationship between Richard and Monica ended, he could have been a powerful addition to the show if allowed to continue.

6) Julie

There was never anything bad about Julie’s arrival on the show besides it was the worst possible moment for the beginning of a potential romance between Ross and Rachel. She was a sweet woman who was happy to spend time with Ross’ friends. Unfortunately, she gets written off mainly as an inconvenience. Julie had the potential to be a more rounded character in the show.

7) Eddie

Eddie was Chandler’s new roommate after Joey left him alone. His wicked temper and unstable mind made Chandler quite uncomfortable while they were roommates. However, keeping him for a longer period would have been amazing because he was hysterical. The craziness he brought in was unmatchable and we would not have been bored with his stupidity at all.

8) Carol And Susan

Carol and Susan disappear from FRIENDS in its last few seasons. They have one of the most touching relationships in the series. Even though Carol and Susan were not around often enough to be the main characters, they had many openings to share storylines regarding Ben growing up. Unfortunately, they fall behind with no explanation.

9) Gunther

Gunther, who runs the famous Central Perk coffee shop was there throughout the series. He was never a part of the gang but he was surely the follower of their adventures. Gunther definitely deserved more active time on screen. Maybe getting involved with Rachel eve for quite a while would have been interesting.

10) Emily Waltham

Ross and Emily had a whirlwind romance, and that leads them to a wedding in London. Initially, Emily was a happy and understanding woman. Although Emily was a nice enough person and excited about marrying Ross, fans may not have been rooting for Ross and Emily as a couple. Everything changes at the altar when Ross says Rachel’s name. Afterward, Emily’s anger and embarrassment are justified, but her ultimatums toward him later are not. This does not match her previous personality going into the marriage. That is why she deserved more time to deal with Ross in other ways.

11) Dina

It would have been great to see Dina’s story because it turned out to be the most complicated than anyone else in the show. Moreover, she being the youngest, might have benefitted a lot from the group’s guidance towards a better life. And seeing the group acting like adults(which means being an idol to someone) would have been fun too. She was already in a place that was quite not good and seeing her come back and managing things for good would have been a nice experience. Since Joey was her brother, it would have been odd to see more of her getting indulged with the group.

12) Ben

When Carol was pregnant, Ben was a massive deal for everybody. He was also relevant during the first few seasons of the show. That showed Ross’s bond with his son over life milestones and holiday celebrations. However, his disappearance from the show without a trace was quite confusing. The reasons are never explained about why he was not spending time with Ross anymore.

13) Will

Will was Ross’s best friend from high school. They also made the “I hate Rachel” club just to hate Rachel. It would have been wonderful to carry forward their friendship and continued the awkward Hate Rachel Club. We surely know Ross would not be a part of it anymore but seeing him stuck between an old friend and the “love of his life” would have been fun. But that didn’t happen. Bradd just gave a guest appearance in the show and so we can’t expect more of him but anyways it would have been fun. However, he was hilarious in the thanksgiving episode.

14) Kathy

Chandler is struck by horror the moment he realizes that he loves his best friend’s girlfriend, Kathy. Although he can not shake his sentiments, he feels awful about his feelings for Kathy behind Joey’s back. After Kathy has broken up with Joey, Chandler and Kathy take things to the next level. However, they don’t last long together as Chandler becomes paranoid and possessive of Kathy. As much as Chandler wants to trust her, his declaring that she is cheating on him, is what breaks them up.

15) Ursula

Initially, Lisa Kudrow appeared in the show “Mad About You”. Instead of ignoring her appearance on the show, FRIENDS incorporated Ursula into the show as Phoebe’s estranged twin sister. From her humor balanced Phoebe’s whimsy persona to uncaring attitude, everything was showed in FRIENDS as well. She appeared various times until the eighth season and was a substantial addition to the supporting cast. Although Ursula was a fun character to have around, she was briefly mentioned in episodes after being written off. She surely deserves some more screen time to show off her insanity.

18 Facts About The Iconic FRIENDS Sets & Props Fans Don’t Know

The recent FRIENDS reunion spilled a lot of secrets about the show and its cast members. Courteney Cox wrote her lines on Monica’s table, Jennifer Anniston and David Schwimmer had crushes on each other, while Matt Le Blanc broke his arm and had to reshoot scenes. But, the cast never gave away any production secrets from the FRIENDS Sets.

Directors and set designers have revealed a number of surprising facts over the years about how the show was made. From casting decisions to the reasons for particular furniture choices, they’ve also shared with fans how storylines were developed. And there always remains a number of production secrets linked to the show which the audience doesn’t know, even though it was shot in front of a live studio audience for 10 years. One surprising fact that we don’t know is that the live audience was once given a surprise of free pizza whilst watching the taping.

So, here are some of the juicy facts about FRIENDS sets and some props that you might not be aware of:

1) The Troll Doll Existed Even Before The Geller Cup Plot

The Geller Cup storyline is easily one of the best Thanksgiving episodes and an iconic episode in itself. However, contrary to what we previously believed, the storyline was actually created around the cup. The troll doll stuck on the wooden block was shown to the writers by a member of the prop team. They took the idea and created the Geller Cup around it.

2) No Street Set Outside For The First Season

For the first season, there was no actual street set outside Central Perk due to budgetary reasons. They used a painted backdrop instead. The window in front of it was intentionally tinted. Also, to hide the fact that the backdrop was fake, they also used a number of potted plants. However, the set was added and the window was made clear in the second season.

3) The Artwork Changed Every Few Weeks In Central Perk

Even though Central Perk is in nearly every episode of FRIENDS, we were unable to spot for ourselves that the artwork in the coffee shop actually changed every few episodes. As per Greg Grande, the set designer, they would change the back wall artwork frequently to a new artist from around the world.

4) Central Perk’s Location Was Never Revealed

Since some of them referred to it as “downstairs”, many fans assumed the Central Perk was on the first floor of their apartment building. However, exterior shots of the front of their building show that a restaurant with red awnings has taken up that place. If you remember, Joey once mentioned that the coffee shop was exactly 97 steps away from their apartment. Interestingly, no one knows exactly where Central Perk is located on their block.

5) Monica’s Door Frame Was A Mistake

Interestingly, the iconic yellow door frame around Monica’s peephole on the purple door was actually a mistake. Initially, it was just a frame that had its glass broken. And, Greg suggested putting it around the peephole which just worked right. He liked the way it ended up and believes that it was surely a beautiful mistake.

6) Gladys Wasn’t Actually Made For The Show

Do you remember the terrifying work of art that Gladys was? If you don’t know, Phoebe’s creepy artwork already existed way before the show. Greg found the piece of art and believed that it would be great for Phoebe’s apartment. Well, for a character like Phoebe’s, it couldn’t be any more appropriate. So it wasn’t created keeping in mind the character of Phoebe but was found and used later.

7) The Poster Behind Monica’s TV Wasn’t An Aesthetic Choice

There was a time during the FRIENDS run when everyone was obsessed with the poster behind Monica’s TV. Although it wasn’t chosen purely for its design aesthetic, though it looked great in the apartment. In fact, the poster was used to hide a hole in the wall at Monica’s place.

8) Boy’s Recliners Were Used To Give A Bachelor-Pad Vibe

Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing favored an unapologetically bachelor-pad vibe with their hulking leather recliners. The set designer, Mr. Grande admitted, “I looked for the most obnoxious ones I could find.” And, he continued, “Those chairs were about one thing: comfort and where to put your beer.”

9) Hugsy Was Added Just To Have Some Fun With Joey

Hugsy was originally mentioned accidentally by Joey as his “bedtime penguin pal” in the episode “The One Where Everybody Finds Out”. It is at that moment that he tells Rachel how he stole Hugsy from a child, and also swallowed his button years back. Later, we noticed it in several other episodes. And it was a fun addition done by Mr. Grande.

10) The Writing On the Magna Doodle Changed

The writing on Magna doodle at Chandler and Joey’s apartment kept changing across the cuts. At first, when Joey was complaining about staying up all night before a sleep clinic, “Get Out” was written on it. However, it changed to “Poop” when Chandler talked about how he cannot dance at weddings and Ross walked in while Chandler was showing Rachel and Joey how he danced. Perhaps it changed to reflect what politeness forbids them telling Ross. In fact, the next time you watch FRIENDS and come across Chandler’s apartment door, try to pause and see the writing on the doodle. You will always be delighted with something new.

11) Monica, Chandler, Rachel, And Joey’s Apartment Was In Greenwich Village

Their apartment was the foundation and true soul of the show. The true fans of the show know this as a place called home. Purple wall, blue kitchen cabinets, round kitchen table with mismatched pair of chairs, and Chandler and Joey’s apartment just across the hall. However, the interior existed just on set, you can visit the exterior of Monica’s apartment which is at 90 Bedford Street, at the corner of Grove Street in Greenwich Village.

12) Iconic Orange Couch Was The Collection Of Burbank’s Warner Bros. Studios

This early-1900s tufted-mohair sofa with burnt-orange color salvaged from a collection of Burbank’s Warner Bros. Studios. Mr. Shaffner noted that the sofa’s design encouraged a comfortable and home-away-from-home posture. Mr. Grande said. “We went with repurposed, old-school pieces and a palette of rich earth tones.” It was the go-to haunt that had to be cozy for the gang but different from the apartment sets.

13) Pat The Dog Was Used To Giving An Italian Touch To The Setting

For Joey, success looks like this molded-plastic greyhound statue. Referencing the character’s heritage, Mr. Grande said, “The only note I got was ‘Give it a little Italian flair.’ I went to a store called Italy 2000 and saw this dog. It had a seventies flavor and was too funny.” Undoubtedly, the piece took on a life of its own.

14) The Boys’ Laurel and Hardy Poster In Their Apartment

Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbianni’s brown-and-beige lair was intentionally left under-decorated. Mr. Grande said. “We wanted it to look a little barren and like they didn’t really care. Still, we had to fill the walls with something.” This black-and-white poster of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, entertainers of early-20th-century unframed and haphazardly taped up that fit the set perfectly. Mr. Shaffner said, “Part of Joey and Chandler’s charm was that, in their own way, they were a couple.”

15) Phoebe’s Apartment In The Show

Do you remember the episode titled “The One With Joey’s New Brain”? In this episode, Rachel and Phoebe find someone’s phone at Central perk. She then asks that person to pick it up from her apartment and she tells the stranger over the phone it’s at 5 Morton Street. Reportedly, it’s only a four-minute walk from where Monica, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler lived.

16) The Pulitzer Fountain Was Not An Actual Fountain

This is the famous fountain where all the six characters danced around during the opening of each episode of the show. It is the most iconic symbol of the show. However, it was just a prop on the set and not the actual fountain in New York. Reportedly, the inspiration behind the fountain was from The Pulitzer Fountain in Midtown West’s Grand Army Plaza and many FRIENDS fan visits there.

17) Rachel’s Dirty Book Was Added To Spice Things Up

The ‘dirty book’ Joey finds in Rachel’s bedroom seems to be a prop rather than a genuine book in FREINDS. And, Rachel’s love for adult literature was previously referenced in “The One With Mrs. Bing”. So, to spice that up Rachel’s dirty books were added to the show. Rachel comes in for a lot of clowning from Joey when he discovers that she had an erotic book.

18) The Apothecary Table Was Offset The High Cost Of Production

Rachel was trying to pass off a Pottery Barn table to Phoebe as an antique. The fib flew and thanks to the item’s apothecary drawers, brass hardware, and mahogany finish until Phoebe discovered Ross Geller owned the very same one. Peter Roth of Warner Bros. said it “offset the high cost of production” when asked about the product placement in the episode. The table was even purchased by the fans in droves that Pottery Barn reissued.

25 Unseen Young Photos Of The FRIENDS Cast From The 90s

The internationally-known sitcom FRIENDS is comprised of a cast that has its name written in golden letters. Although over two decades have passed, FRIENDS still has a cult-like following. Since its premiere date, the cast Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer have become household names. People from every generation are falling in love with this iconic sitcom. The credit for its huge success also goes to the hand of streaming services as well since they made it really available for the fans to watch anytime.

The show came in during a time that is often looked upon with nostalgia. It was filmed throughout the ’90s just like the show’s timeline. It was a simpler time back then where social media was not even a thought yet. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why people were so much into this sitcom.

From prank-calling Ross with a fake accent to going on a double date with doctors, fans couldn’t get enough of Rachel and Monica. Ultimately, they became friendship goals for girls who love FRIENDS. Even though it has been quite a long time since the FRIENDS show has ended, but their friendship has only got stronger with time. Once Cox shared a picture of them together and captioned, “No matter how hard you might try … there’s only one Jennifer Aniston.” Well, we couldn’t agree more.

10 Special Moments From Joey Chandler Bromance

FRIENDS was one of the most popular television shows during the 90s, ruling the sitcom world for 10 years. From the hilarious cast dynamic, the show’s success stemmed. Together they were like a well-bonded close-knit family. Apart from that, each character had a unique and special relationship with one another. Fortunately, all came together as one big Central Perk gang in the end.

Well, the best duo on the show was Joey and Chandler. Their comical brotherly love kept audiences roaring with laughter, and they were inseparable throughout all 10 seasons of the show. Even though it was hard to narrow down the special moments between them, here are some of the best moments in Chanoey world.

1) Saying Goodbye To The Foosball Table

The foosball table played a big role in Joey and Chandler’s friendship. There’s no ‘Joey and Chandler’ without foosball. It was an important piece of furniture in their apartment. One of the most memorable moments with foosball was in the final episodes when the chick and duck get stuck at the foosball table. The only out is to tear the foosball table apart.

Since the table held too many memories, they both were unable to destroy it. So, Monica willingly does the deed. With a tearful goodbye to the table, Joey and Chandler play one last game before the destruction of the table. It somehow symbolized the end of the show’s dynamic duo ‘Joey ad Chandler.’

2) Joey Wears All Of Chandler’s Clothes

Ross has invited the gang to an important black-tie event at the museum. Even though he’s desperately trying to get everyone ready, everyone is facing their own dilemma that they couldn’t get dressed on time. However, Chandler and Joey stole the show in this one. Joey stole Chandler’s chair when he got up to go to the bathroom. It made Chandler angry but Joey refuses to get up when Chandler asks him to get up.

After their bickering, Joey finally stands to go get ready. However, he took the ‘essence of the chair’, the cushions. Chandler retorts back by hiding all of Joey’s underwear. As a result, Joey walks into the apartment after putting on all of Chandler’s clothes and says, “Could I BE wearing any more clothes?” This surely shows the bromance of Chanoey.

3) Parenting The Chick And The Duck

It was Ross who stood up to take Rachel to the prom but just before he could go ahead, her scheduled date finally showed up.
