Friends

Friends is an American sitcom created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane. It aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004 and ran for 236 episodes, mixing comedy with romance.

The series follows six friends in their twenties who live in New York City. Monica Geller, played by Courteney Cox, is a chef who loves order, and her brother Ross, played by David Schwimmer, is a paleontologist who has recently gone through a painful change in his personal life. Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) is Ross's old college friend, known for his dry sense of humor, and he lives with Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), a struggling actor with a big appetite and a relaxed attitude. Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow, is a free-spirited musician with an unusual past.

The story begins when Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, arrives unexpectedly in the middle of a life-changing decision and looks up an old school friend, Monica. She starts over by taking a job at a coffee shop, and she becomes part of the group that spends its days there and in their apartments. The show centers on friendship, work, dating and the stumbles of early adult life. James Michael Tyler appears as Gunther, a coffee shop employee, and Elliott Gould plays Jack Geller.
