Synopsis: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow,
Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer star in this Emmy-winning
comedy about six close-knit young friends living in New York City.
Beginning its tenth 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 comedy on television among adults 18-49 for five years in
a row.
Since its debut season (1994-95), Friends has received 55 Emmy
Award nominations, including six for Outstanding Comedy Series, which
the show won this year. 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 including
2002.
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 are Chandler's longtime roommate Joey (LeBlanc),
a womanizing actor currently on the soap opera Days of Our Lives,
and Rachel (Aniston), Monica's best friend from high school.
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. Although Rachel is no longer romantically
involved with Ross, they share the responsibility of 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.
