‘IT WASN’T TELEVISION, IT UPBROUGHT A GENERATION’ - The F.R.I.E.N.D.S Episode - The Monthly Episode

Parth Kakkar |THE DEN|


F.R.I.E.N.D.S, the pilot based on the life of the producers Marta Kauffman and David Crane

revolving around 6 friends in Manhattan in 1994, ran for 10 years and shaped a generation.

Still fetching over a billion dollars annually after 25 years, it brought a certain sense of relativity to the audience. Rich, poor, independent, dependent, spoilt, hard working, chef,

musician, doctor, palaeontologist, actor, fashion designer, masseuse, scientist, data analyst or a waitress, the show took the audience through everything, relating to someone, somewhere at every point in time. More than that, it gave hope, to those it related with for a better tomorrow. Teenagers, with their teenage problems needed nothing better than knowing where they would end up, all wrapped up in continuous light comedy. It is said and is true, you cannot watch an entire episode without a single smile on your face and forgetting your problems for a while, even if its for a second.
