Season Details & Credits

NBC | Season Premiere Date: September 24, 1998

Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc

Summary: "With a Little Help From My Friends" is a song written by the Beatles (and expertly covered by Joe Cocker) and it could easily be the subtitle for the thirty minute comedy, "Friends". In 1994, the idea was created for "Friends": a show about six friends in New York as they navigate their way through life and learn to grow up as they"With a Little Help From My Friends" is a song written by the Beatles (and expertly covered by Joe Cocker) and it could easily be the subtitle for the thirty minute comedy, "Friends". In 1994, the idea was created for "Friends": a show about six friends in New York as they navigate their way through life and learn to grow up as they approach the third decade of their life. All, with the help from each other to get them through the obstacles that life naturally has for us. Monica is the excessively neat and organized "older sister" of the group, who works as a chef while yearning to find her ideal love. Ross, Monica's older brother, is a paleontologist with a lifelong crush on Rachel. He is a laid-back man with low self esteem and a recent divorcee. Rachel is the pretty, bubbly girl who spent most of her life as a spoiled rich princess. Now she must learn to face the real world. Chandler is Ross' college buddy and the guy who will crack jokes at a moment's notice. Phoebe is a lovable eccentric masseuse who easily could have fit in with Haight Ashbury in the 1960s. And Joey, the friend who has an inverse relationship between his good looks and his intelligence. He dreams of becoming an actor. These six individuals make up the cast of Friends. In May 2004, Friends officially ended it's phenomenal 10 year run. The show's time slot was taken over by a spin-off called Joey.… Expand

This series has survived its 15 media minutes as The Hot New Show to become a dependably clever, sexy, sometimes even touching sitcom. Read full review

Friends. Season 5. Viva Las Vegas! Now the adventures of friends will bring them even to Las Vegas. Season 5 is still funny, cute and interesting. New relationships, new weddings, new sorrows and fun.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. it's really one of the greatest season in the sitcoms, This season was literally nuts, each and every episode was a raising the bar of pure fun and intriguing surprises, they really hit that out of the park in this season, the starting episodes with ross's marriage and aftermath of rachel's name at wedding was just shocking the ross's and rachel's friendship in question by emily and both figuring all that was amazing, then ross's whole depress phase was fun too look and that flirt episode was just icing in the cake. then the phoebe's birthing triplets episode was nice and the joey's and whole gang's final trip was epic, now the chandler and monica's stuff was just brilliantly written there secret and slow reveal of stuffs was just entertaining as hell, the episode of thankgiving was brilliant and probably the greatest episode of friends "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" it was just staright 22 mins of pure magic the "i know,they know" and phebe hitting on chandler it was just uncontrollable fun, then the ending episodes at vegas it was with up's and down's but then at last where the Mon-dler was about to go marry...right in front of them the other married coupled came out of church and it was literally mind-blown, this was the most hilarious,fun,entertaining,well-written and masterfully crafted season it was just brilliant sit-com masterpiece of a season,… Expand

I have the complete series box set, and despite that I watched all the episodes like thousands of times (well, not literally, but several times), for me always is a good idea re-watch all the seasons again. The storyline it's really good (there are some seasons that it’s awesome and others that it’s not so good, but in average, it’s a really good storyline), with good jokes and big moments. I will never forget Chandler, Monica, Joey, Rachel, Phoebe and Ross. All of them did a great job, because for me, this is the only sitcom that you really care about the characters.
When I see the end of the last season, for me it’s like a sad goodbye, because always I want to know more about them.… Expand

this was nothing compared to the other seasons of friends. I absolutely despise this season. Everything was very dull and unoriginal compared to season 1 or 2 or even 3
