Advantages: Funny and entertaining

Disadvantages: none

I have lost track of the amount of times we have watched this from the start right through to the end.

Friends is very entertaining and easy to watch. It follows the lives of 6 friends who start in their mid 20's. during the differnet series they experience unemployment, new jobs, new loves, old loves returning, marriage (3 times for 1 character), new homes, engagement, children and the leap from good friends to husband and wife. I found this programme can make me laugh out loud and requires minimum attention. Friends has some great characters:

Ross - a Palaeontologist who is Monica's brother. He works at the museum and is the geeky one of the friends. He starts the series about to be divorced from his wife who is a lesbian. He is very much in love with Rachel and his best friend is Chandler who he went to School with.
Chandler - no one can ever remember Chandlers job, he does something in an office. He is the clown of the group and always makes wise cracks about the others. He lives with Joey and is his best friend. His Mom and Dad are divorced and his Dad is a trans-sexual
Joey - he is a budding Actor who never gets any work. He is the dumb one in the group and is a bit of a womaniser. He lives with Chandler and is his best friend.
Monica - she is a Chef and has an eating disorder. Monica is the obsessive on in the group and is constantly cleaning. She ends up living with Rachel who was her best friend at school.
Rachel - works as different positions at Fashion companies. She is the Popular girl of the group. She is a bit of a spoilt brat to start with but soon learns how to cope on her own. She is the object of Ross's affection.
Phoebe - what hasn't Phoebe done? I think throughout most of the programme she is a masseuse. She is definitely the weird one of the group. She is the vegetarian, hippy, guitar player who spent most of her childhood on the streets.

The programme is set in a variety of different scenes mainly Central Perk, the place where the group meet daily for coffee but also in Monicas apartment, Joey and Chandlers apartment, work places and there are even some episodes set in Barbados!

I dont think there is an episode we havent seen and my favourite line is when Ross is going on about sex for dummies - classic comedy! An entertaining programme which can be watched whatever your age. Its on a loop on E4 if anyone wants to watch it

Summary: Great comedy
