Friends: Could a show BE any funnier?

Authored by Oswaldo Blackburn

One of my favorite (albeit older) shows on TV is Friends. I know it has been off the air and there haven't been any new episodes in over 10 years, but I still find it relevant and funny. Luckily, I can always catch re-runs on satellite TV when not using my nfl sunday ticket discount!

The group of actors on this whos just have so much chemistry. Ross and Monica, brother and sister, are great together and definitely appear as if they are related. Rachel, Monica's old college friend and Ross's girlfriend, is a flighty, but very attractive girl trying to find herself in NYC after leaving her husband at the altar during the very first episode. Phoebe is a quirky, eccentric massage therapist who has some very interesting stories from her past. Joey and Chandler are neighbors of Monica and Rachel, and are polar opposites. Joey is a "throw caution to the wind" floater who is frequently without a job, though he is an aspiring actor. Chandler is your typical young professional, trying to make something of his career while finding himself.

The story lines in this show are hysterical - and very easy to relate to. The characters find themselves in several dilemmas that are just as real as they are humorous. The writers of this show deserve every single one of the millions of dollars that they were paid to keep it going for over 10 years.

If you have not been a Friends fan, check out a re-run if you have the chance and you will be glad you did!
