Trivia:

Goofs:

Continuity: When Erica (the birth mother of Monica and Chandler's twins) is giving birth to the babies, no one knows that she is having twins until the first has been born and the doctor tells them that there's another coming. Yet, in _"Friends" The One with the Birth Mother (2004)_ (season 10 episode 9), Erica shows Monica and Chandler a sonogram of the baby - surely this would've shown she was having twins.

Quotes:

Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we haven't had a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento. You, however have had the love of a woman for four years. Four years of closeness and sharing at the end of which she ripped your heart out, and that is why we don't do it. I don't think that was my point.

There never has been a sitcom that truly pictures life among the singles (twenty-something) as good as this show does. It's not just comedy, it presents the episodes in such a way that one can truly identify with the situations they face so the audience has something to talk about in coffee shops too. The humor is universal. I feel like I'm part of the group every time I watch it because I feel the different emotions they go through. Plus, of course, it is so much fun because it's fast-paced. Every scene and every moment is relative to what is going to happen next so you don't feel like it is dragging you onto nothing. Just like how a sitcom should be. Funny!
