Friends is an American sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman for NBC. It follows six friends in their twenties and thirties living in Manhattan: Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross, played by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. The show ran for ten seasons and was one of the most popular television comedies of its time, with more than fifty million Americans watching the finale. Its catchphrases, fashions and theme song became part of popular culture, and it has found new audiences through reruns and streaming. The cast reunited for a special in 2021.
