In the last few months of shooting Friends, Courteney Cox became pregnant, but, seeing as Monica wasn’t supposed to be able to have a baby, they covered up her pregnancy by making her wear baggy clothes while shooting the show so no one could tell.

At one point, Jennifer Aniston was shooting this series, Bruce Almighty (2003) and Along Came Polly (2004) at the same time.

30-second commercial spots to take place in the final ever episode sold in the UK for 1.2 million GB pounds (approx $1.8 million), the most expensive commercial slots of any TV program in England with the exception of sports.

No Friend ever made more money doing the show than any others. They started out making $22,500 per episode and ended up making $1million per show. All negotiations were done in unison. Kudrow said, “The six of us are far stronger than just one person.”

The refrigerators in Monica’s and Joey’s apartments actually worked. Monica’s was filled with water and other drinks for the cast and crew. Joey’s was usually virtually empty, unless the inside of the fridge was going to be seen in a specific scene.

Before the show was cast, the main love interest was intended to be Monica and Joey.

In the first couple of episodes Chandler and Joey’s apartment number was #4 and Monica and Rachel’s apartment number was #5. However, in the later episodes, they are 19 and 20 respectively because the producers noted that 4 and 5 corresponded to apartments on lower floors and the Friends’ apartments were higher up the building.

When the “friends” weren’t at home or at work, they could be found hanging out at Central Perk, a Greenwich Village coffeehouse manned by Gunther (played by real-life “coffee guy” James Michael Tyler, who did not receive screen credit until well into the series’ run), where Phoebe occasionally performed as a folksinger. Gradually and inevitably, many of friends became lovers. First it was Ross and Rachel, a relationship that came to a screeching halt in season three when Ross slept with another woman when the couple was “on a break.” Ross then ended up marrying the prickly Emily Waltham (Helen Baxendale) during a jaunt to England in season four. That this alliance was doomed from the start was demonstrated when, during the ceremony, Ross said Rachel’s name instead of Emily’s. After the dissolution of the marriage, a drunken Ross and Rachel impulsively got hitched in Las Vegas at the end of season five, but they soon realized that they’d acted too hastily, and were themselves divorced. In season eight, Rachel gave birth to Ross’ baby, a girl named Emma. Meanwhile, Chandler and Monica, who after “getting it on” at Ross’ wedding ceremony tried to keep their relationship a secret from everyone, were married at the close of season seven. They would later discover that they could not have children, whereupon they adopted a baby from a woman named Erica (Anna Faris). In a similar vein, the whimsical Phoebe had earlier agreed to be artificially inseminated so that she could bear a child for her half-brother, Frank (Giovanni Ribisi), and his wife (and former teacher), Alice (Debra Jo Rupp). Ultimately, Phoebe gave birth to triplets. Phoebe also had another sibling, a twin sister named Ursula — actually the same character played by Lisa Kudrow in the earlier NBC sitcom Mad About You, which was still in production when Friends debuted on September 22, 1994.

The series’ tenth and final season (2003-2004) wrapped up several loose plot strands. Having admitted that he always loved Rachel, Joey proposed to her, but the marriage never came off — and in an eleventh-hour decision, Rachel forsook plans to move to Paris, and returned to Ross. After several desultory relationships, Phoebe married a nice guy named Mike (Paul Rudd). And as Friends approached its two-part finale, Erica, the birth mother of Monica and Chandler’s soon-to-be-adopted baby went into labor — and surprisingly delivered twins, which they named Erica (after the “real” mom) and Jack (after Chandler’s dad). After the storyline of the series ended, Joey would end up moving out of New York, heading to L.A. to pursue a film career, thereby setting up the premise of Matt LeBlanc’s spin-off sitcom Joey. At or near the number one ratings slot throughout most of its run, Friends also earned a veritable warehouse of Emmy Awards — not to mention full-fledged stardom for all of the series’ regulars. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

1- When Matt Le Blanc turned up to audition, he had a scab on his nose and forehead: the result of the previous night’s booze bender. He also had a mere $11 left in his bank account. A perfect Joey, then.

2- Matthew Perry says he hates it when the theme tune gets played when he goes to sporting events. He says, “They put the camera on me and play the song and there’s nothing I can do except smile a stupid smile.”

3- Jennifer Aniston was terrified of Matt Le Blanc when she first met him. She recalls, “He was dressed in leather head to toe - one of those guys - and all you’re thinking is, ‘Oh, he’s going to try to get me into bed.’” And she was nearly right…

4- David Schwimmer had doubts. “I figured it was just another temporary thing,” he admits.

5- The stylish frame around the peephole in Monica’s apartment was not the result of creative design. Originally a mirror hung on the door, but someone smashed it by accident during filming.
