This show makes me calm.


Dunno why, even though I have seen all the episodes I still watch before I go to sleep or when I feel sad, I get this warm fuzzy feeling. It's also nice having the show playing on the background as I work on something. Anyone the same?

I have exactly same as you. I'm some kind of addicted from this show (mostly unconsciously) when I'm on the top with other shows, nothing exciting on telly or doing something in my room (it's always in a background) I'm watching this since 1996. Since 6 years (when purchased Anniversary Box Set) seen it over 400 times all 10 seasons...when I'm back to tv screen and Friends are on I can tell the plot and mostly title without even looking at screen...this show is my safe net somehow. There...I said it for the first time:)

Have a nice day all addicted from this show!

Same here, I like to have it on in the background when I'm cooking or cleaning.

I've had a couple major breakups and this is what I went to afterwards. It's too great.

It is going to get wet in here tonight. Lace your boots up, kiddies.

It's a great laugh therapy. I kept watching a few episodes every day for about a year and it cheered me up no end.

This show always helps me when I'm sad.

I watched it a lot when going through IVF treatments, my pregnancy, and then the late nights with my daughter. I suffered from terrible anxiety and insomnia during IVF treatment, so I would put Friends on, and fall off to sleep. I realised after my daughter was born, that it was sending her off to sleep, and it had had a sleep inducing effect on me by then, I couldn't keep my eyes open for one episode! So, I had to retrain my brain to be able to watch it again.
I definitely have it on while I'm cooking or cleaning too, and it's my go to show if I want to feel better or just want to know I'll feel good. I have particular episodes for certain moods too. My favorite for crazy fun is TOW Ross'a sandwich.
I'm glad to find other Friends superfans!

Same here. I just finished season 10 and tomorrow night I will probably start over. I really don't like it when I enter season 10 coz I know it's coming to an end. The last episode is really hard for me to watch. It always makes me sad.

Anyway I love it and I never get tired of it. I also leave it playing all night sometimes. It's nice falling asleep with Friends in the background.
