approaching that relates to an iconic comedy series. Friends was first broadcast on 22nd September, 1994. The NBC series began with the memorable pilot episode. Although it took a little while for critics to fully embrace the series and the six main characters – Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiane (Matt Le Blanc), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) and Monica Geller (Courtney Cox) -, it did go on to become among the most popular and loved series of its generation! One that has lasted the test of time and is still talked about thirty years later. Friends ended its ten-season run with the finale on 6th May, 2004. Running at 236 episodes, it was one of the longest-run series ever. Though, this being U.S. T.V., it has some competition! All of us have some relationship with Friends. I started high school the month Friends started in the U.S. It took longer to come to the U.K. but, when it did, it was a sensation! To mark thirty years since the start of a comedy series that transcended beyond the screens and our homes, I wanted to look at music that featured through its episodes. From the theme song, I’ll Be There for You by The Rembrandts, to some of the other songs that featured through the ten-series run, this Digital Mixtape salutes thirty years of Friends. These are some diverse and amazing songs that featured in…
THIS timeless series.
