Massapequa Lobsters

25 Years Anniversary

I just grabbed a spoon.

Friends (1994 - 2004) Created by David Crane & Marta Kauffman September 22, 1994

“It’s about sex, love, relationships, careers, a time in your life when everything’s possible. And it’s about friendship because when you’re single and in the city, your friends are your family.”
 — Part of Crane and Kauffman’s original pitch for Insomnia Cafe

THE CHARACTERS


MONICA - Smart. Cynical. Defended. Very attractive. Had to work for everything she has. An assistant chef for a chic uptown restaurant. And a romantic disaster area.

RACHEL - Spoiled. Adorable. Courageous. Terrified. Monica’s best friend from high school. Has worked for none of what she has. On her own for the first time. And equipped to do nothing.

PHOEBE - Sweet. Flaky. New Age waif. Monica’s former roommate. Sells barrettes on the street and plays guitar in the subway. A good soul.

ROSS - Intelligent. Emotional. Romantic. Monica’s brother. Suddenly divorced. Facing single hood with phenomenal reluctance. A paleontologist. Not that it matters.

JOEY - Handsome. Macho. Smug. Lives across the hall from Monica and Rachel. Wants to be an actor. Actually, wants to be Al Pacino. Loves women, sports, women, New York, women and most of all Joey.

CHANDLER - Droll. Dry. A very observer of everyone’s life. And his own. Works in front of a computer doing something tedious in a claustrophobic cubicle in a nondescript office building. Survives by way of his sense of humor. And snacks.


All are in their twenties. All trying to figure it out.

Countless times when Rachel demonstrated that With or Without You was definitely their song [Pt. 2/2]
