We all miss 'Friends'

Image result for friends tv show We all know them, we all miss them and we all know they have been in our lives for over two decades.

  The final episode ending almost 15 years ago, we're just amazed with how big an impact it had put on us.

    From Ross saying 'Rachel' at his own wedding when he was marrying someone named Emily, from when Ross breaks up with his ex because she is a lesbian, but is still a father.


   Or when Phoebe thinks a stray cat is the spirit of her mother, to her having a hit called "smelly cat" become gold.


 There are many interesting moments as well as great guest stars. But how does this show start, and how did it end???


Image result for first episode of friends Rachel (portrayed by Jennifer Aniston) shows up in the coffee shop wearing a wedding dress. Don't really remember much, but it seems she either was ditched, or had cold feet. Her friends, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, Joey and Monica help her with her troubles.

    It was an ok episode. Soon it gets a little better for the first season. Ross gets his own Monkey, Monica and Phoebe get boyfriends, Joey tries to flirt, Rachel feels that Ross is hiding his true love. By the end of the first season they finally kiss.

By the second season, Ross gets a girlfriend, although he still had feelings for Rachel. He breaks up with his girlfriend without mentioning why. Monica and Rachel fight over Jean Claude Van Dam in a two part episode where Ross, who had to give up Marcel his monkey, his monkey died (but it was really stolen) He goes finding him.

They even had more interesting Thanksgiving episodes, where they would play football, or have Monica put a turkey on her head to impress Chandler.

With guest stars, it came from many relationships the six friends had.


   Image result for Phoebe and David friendsWith Phoebe, she fell in love with two guys (ok maybe more) but there were two that were special in her life. The first was David (Hank Azaria) who she met at the coffee shop. They fall in love, but it was short lived. He left for Minsk only to come to see her as much as he can. But then came.... Mike.

Image result for Phoebe and Mike friends Mike was played by Paul Rudd, who was a newcomer before he became a big star. When she had to choose between him and David, she ultimately went with Mike, leaving David out in the cold.

  They got married after that, and stayed together until the last episode.


With others well....

   Monica and Chandler start to fall in love, even getting married. They tried to get a sperm donor since well, they couldn't have a baby.

  Another surprise happened before that, Phoebe was pregnant...in real life.

Image result for Phoebe's brother pregnancyTo cover Lisa's pregnancy, they made an episode with Phoebe carrying her brother's baby since he and his wife also couldn't have kids. It somewhat worked out, and Lisa left a few episodes to give birth.

Image result for Rachel's pregnancy friendsRachel was pregnant too with Ross' child. They named her Emily. It seemed Ross would have two children. One with his ex, and one with Rachel.


They had great guest stars like:
* Alec Baldwin
* Brad Pitt (when he was dating Jennifer Aniston)
* Julia Roberts
* Brooke Shields
* Danny DeVito
* Jason Alexander
*Charlie Sheen (before he went insane)
*Robin Williams with Billy Crystal
*Ben Stiller and many more

How did it all end? Well...

   Ross and Rachel still had feelings for each other. She even finds out her boss from her old job had feelings for her as well. She had to go catch a flight after Monica and Chandler find out they had twins from their donor. Ross feels deeply in love and feels that he had to catch Rachel before she left his life forever. Telling her that he loves her so much.

   With hopes dwindling, it seemed it was too late. Thinking she lost her forever. But, she got off the plane and they finally kiss one last time.

Leaving their now empty apartment with Chandler and Monica together, Rachel and Ross together Phoebe and Mike together, it seemed Joey had no one. They tried to make a spin off show, but it failed and only lasted one season.


   Feeling we have known these people for almost ten years, and now knowing there will be a Lego version coming out, it seems we have never lost these six friends. We just think they went on to do better with their lives (and their jobs) David Schwimmer directs now, Courtney Cox had hit show on TBS, Jennifer, Lisa and Matthew went on to better with their carriers, but it seemed Matt LeBlanc was hitting a slump with failed movies and TV shows, but now.... he's doing a lot better.

   We will never call them by their actual names, because they will always be Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe, Monica and Joey our friends that we will never forget.
