Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David
Schwimmer star in this hit comedy about six close-knit young friends living in New York City.
Beginning its ninth
season as the leadoff series on NBC’s enormously popular “Must See TV” Thursday-night lineup,
“Friends” continues to garner critical acclaim and ratings success. The show reigns as the number-one
show on television.
Since its debut season (1994-95), “Friends” has received 44 Emmy Award nominations,
including five for Outstanding Comedy Series. The cast won a Screen Actors Guild Award in 1996 for Outstanding Ensemble Performance
in a Comedy Series and has been nominated four times (1996, 1997, 1998, 2002) for a Golden Globe Award for Best Television
Series, Musical or Comedy. “Friends” won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy Series
in its first season, and has since won three more times as Favorite Comedy Series. The series focuses on the friendship of
three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and share sofa space at Greenwich Village’s
“Central Perk” coffeehouse.
Monica (Cox Arquette) is a chef with an obsession for neatness and
order in her life. She is also married to Chandler (Perry), a dry wit who is never at a loss for words. Across the hall is
Chandler’s longtime roommate Joey (LeBlanc), a womanizing actor currently on the soap opera “Days of Our
Lives.” Across the alley from Monica and Chandler is Monica’s hapless brother Ross (Schwimmer), a paleontology
professor who has been divorced three times, including once from Rachel (Aniston), Monica’s best friend from high
school. Although Rachel is no longer romantically involved with Ross, she currently shares his apartment where they are raising
their newborn daughter, Emma. Rounding out the circle of friends is Monica’s ex-roommate, Phoebe Buffay (Kudrow),
an offbeat, eternally optimistic folk singer and massage therapist.
The series was created by the writing team of
Marta Kauffman & David Crane. Emmy and CableACE Award-winning producer Kevin S. Bright is executive producer with Kauffman
and Crane. Scott Silveri, Shana Goldberg-Meehan, Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen also serve as executive producers. “Friends”
is a Bright/Kauffman/Crane Production in association with Warner Bros. Television.
