Series: Friends

This week we'll discuss series that aired during the nineties and were popular in that decade. Today we will tell you some more about Friends.

Friends is an American sitcom that aired from September 22, 1994 to May 6, 2004. The series revolves around a group of friends in Manhattan, New York. Friends was a huge success, the final episode (the 236th) was watched by 51,1 million American viewers, making it the fourth most watched series finale in television history and the most watched episode of the decade. Friends also won many awards and was nominated for 63 Primetime Emmy Awards! Because of the success, the actors earned more salary each season, which became astronomically high in the 10th and last season. In the first season they got $22,500 per episode and $1 million on the last two seasons!

We won't discuss the content of the series here because we think that most of you watched it and already know what's it about. And if you haven't watched it (yet), we won't spoil it for you.

Here are some Friends fun facts:
- A 30-second commercial during the break of Friends costed advertisers $500,000
- Monica (Courtney Cox) was the first one to ever say the word "period" on American TV
- Courtney Cox originally read to play the part of Rachel (Jennifer Aniston)
- Before naming it "Friends", the creators considered titles like "Insomnia Cafe" and "Six of One"
- None of the episodes were filmed in New York, despite being set there
- During the first seasons the apartments mysteriously moved up a couple of floors and they changed from being number 4 & 5 to 19 & 20

This was all on Friends! Next time we will go over several series that were broadcasted by Cartoon Network!
