Friends (1994–2004)

There's not an episode you won't love!

[10/10 · 22 July 2010]

Friends has been my favourite show for years. I grew up watching this show, and now grown up, I still watch and laugh the same way as I did back then. I've come to really love the writers and especially the cast. Rachel, the glamorous, stubborn, hilarious one. Phoebe, the silly, corky, hilarious one. Monica, the perfectionist, loving, hilarious one. Ross, the smart, geeky, hilarious one. Chandler, the joking, self-cautious, hilarious one. And Joey, the Italian, lady's man, hilarious one. As you can obviously tell, I've said that everyone is hilarious, which is true. These six characters are what make this show so funny, and make me laugh every time I watch it. Especially Phoebe. I feel like every comedy should have a Phoebe. I've gone through many memories with this show. I take this show everywhere I go whenever I travel. I even keep it playing on my TV while I sleep. It's just a very comfortable, familiar show which I enjoy watching a lot. I mean, I watch this show A LOT. I've watched it so much, that I know what every episode is about. Whenever it's on TV, I know which episode it is, and I say what the title is and what season it's from. It's a great show to pass the time, and you'll never get bored of it. It brings laughs, tears, and sometimes both at the same time. I'm definitely never going to stop watching this show, no matter how many times I've watched all 10 seasons.

I advise this to everyone out there. This is a must see show! If God had created a show for everyone to enjoy and love, it would be something similar to Friends.

Friends: The One with the Blackout (1994) Season 1, Episode 7

An episode that is full of laughter and yet heartache.

[8/10 · 22 July 2010]

Like every other Friends episode it's hilarious, exiting, and most importantly fresh. It starts off with Chandler in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre. All of a sudden there's a blackout (no electricity), which means they are both going to be stuck there until this gets fixed. This makes way for some hilarious and cringing scenes from the lovable jokester. Elsewhere the rest of the gang are sitting in Monica's candle lighted apartment, asking each other the weirdest place they've had sex. Ross finally gets the courage (with some enthusiam from Joey) to tell Rachel about his feelings for her. All seems to be going well when Ross is just about to tell Rachel how he feels when a cat behind him distracts Rachel and jumps on Ross' back causing mayhem. The owner of the cat turns up in the hallway and gets invited in with the rest of the group. Rachel takes a shine to him and ends up kissing him by the end of night, to Ross' pain.
