Friends is NBC's incredibly popular and long-running sitcom about six adults and their constantly chaotic lives in New York City. The show created household names out of its six lead actors and garnered some of the highest ratings in television history. The group of "Friends" is made up of spoiled daddy's girl Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston of The Break-Up), talented but neurotic Monica Gellar (Dirt's Courteney Cox), Ross Gellar (David Schwimmer of Madagascar) who has always been in love with Rachel, financially successful but personally insecure Chandler (Studio 60's Matthew Perry), carefree hippie and part-time singer Phoebe (The Comeback's Lisa Kudrow), and ladies' man and struggling actor Joey, played by Matt LeBlanc, who reprised his role in his own sitcom Joey. After winning a Golden Globe and 55 other awards, Friends finally came to an end in 2004 with each character finally finding their own version of success, happiness, and love.
