THE LABYRINTH

When England laid siege to the French port of Calais, the six city leaders, or burghers, surrendered to spare the city’s citizens. Rodin captured the intense emotions of each of the men as they consider their fate. Fortunately, the English Queen asked that they be spared, and their selfless act lives on in this sculpture.

Friends premiered on Thursday, September 22, 1994, at 8:30, to generally good reviews and solid but not initially spectacular ratings.

DAVID CRANE: We had absolutely no idea what this show was going to be. For us, it was just another pilot. We’d just had a series canceled. We were thinking we’d never work again, so we were scrambling. You pitch a bunch of stuff. We were doing this thing at Fox and at NBC. Friends was feeling good, but it was just another pilot. Or it was just another pilot until Jimmy Burrows wants to direct it. Excuse me, James Burrows. We thought, That’s crazy.
