It's old news. We're talking like 5 years after the last episode old news. I don't care. I love Friends.
I love the characters, the attitude, the setting, the time of life. I liked it a lot in HS in college when I was watching it in real time, but I think now that the characters are more like peers to me I can really get into it - well, the first few seasons for sure. They are a bunch of 20 somethings figuring out what they want from life. I'm in a similar place.
I think the characters of Friends are so popular because they are so easy to relate to. I mean, I can find something with each of the 6 Friends that I connect to somehow. Some more than others, obviously. Let's look at this.
Rachel - I identify with her the most. She's impulsive, inexperienced to life's major inconveniences, loves to shop, and is interested in fashion.
Monica - I wish I could say I identified with her clean freak mentality. However, this is where I own up to the obsessive/neurotic nature. She also likes food a lot but can't eat it all the time because that's a bad idea.
Chandler - He has an appreciation for sarcasm, satire, and irony. He also spends a large portion of the series struggling with the idea of career and what it should mean to him.
Phoebe - Thoughtful, sensitive, and loves to be silly.
Ross - Appreciation of academics and also a little obsessive
Joey - Well, I also really love sandwiches.
See? Something for everyone.
