Trivia:

When 'Courtney Cox' was on The Tonight Show she told Jay Leno a story about filming Friends. During filming one day, Cox kept reciting a line by Anthony Michael Hall which goes, "Chicks cannot hold their smoke, dat's what it is." Matthew Perry thought it was from Weird Science (1985) but Cox was adamant it was from The Breakfast Club (1985). After asking around (sound men, production staff etc), they couldn't come up with a definitive answer. They began betting starting off with $20 then making it larger. Perry actually joked that if he won Cox would have to sleep with him and if she won he would have to sleep with her. They then heard Judd Nelson (Hall's cast-mate in The Breakfast Club) was filming "Suddenly Susan" (1996) in a nearby stage, so they went over and asked him and found out it was Breakfast Club. Leno asked her what the bet was to which Cox sneezed and then rang a bell. Perry walked out from backstage with a tissue in his hand. Cox then told Leno, Perry was going to be her man slave for five more months.

Goofs:

Continuity: In one episode Monica says how her brother Ross never told her anything about his sex life or when he lost her virginity, but in the episode before, he says how he told everyone, including his sister, when he lost his virginity for the first time to Carol.

Quotes:

Benjamin Hobart:If you say yes, I'm serious, if you say no, I'm joking.

fantastic

Friends has got to be one of the best Us Sitcom comedys ever. I'll be sad for this programme to end next year in 2004 because the whole team did such a fantastic effort to put everthing into this series. It was such a great programme and i think it will always will be. After 10 seasons the programme comes to it's end. I give this 10 out of 10.
