Friends
If i tell you « Sometimes i wish i was a lesbian », or « And i just want a million dollars », or « I wish i could, but i don’t want to… »
Do you guess what i’m talking about?
Those quotes all appear in the pilot episode of Friends, the tv show… and in my mind remain ones of the best quotes ever in the history of quotes 
Friends has been celebrating his birthday a few days ago…. The first episode ever (and actually, one of the best) was first aired on NBC on 22th of September 1994.
And it all started like this: Friends first opening theme
Yes, Friends is already 15 years old…
Can you believe it?? I never really realized and it just occurred to me a few days ago. I was a bit more than 10 years old. God, thats so long ago…
And you know what? Even 15 years ago, it is still so funny. This weekend, i casually found myself watching the 8 last episodes of season 2 (because i have no internet at home and already had those episodes on my machine)…. and i seriously found it really funny. There are some jokes or double-senses i discovered this weekend… like How do you want me to grow if you don’t let me blow… 
I don’t really remember my first episode of Friends… weird, because i totally remember how crazy i got the first time i watched South Park with Simon in Dublin (aaaah that Ninja episode, amazing one 
)... or when i finally said yes to my brother who wanted to show me How I Met Your Mother for so many weeks already… we watched the episode in my bro’s bedroom, on his laptop, and god that was a good start!… i remember the first episodes of Lost in Dublin as well, i was sooo excited to see what would happen next…
I remember sitting in front of France 2 to watch them, first in french… and then one day i decided to go for the original version, and i obviously never went back… i remember not being able to wait one week between each episode… i remember a Friends marathon on Canal Jimmy, we did it with my bro, the 24 episodes of season 6 in a row, i fell asleep for 2 or 3 episodes (the episodes that involve Jill, Rachel’s sister)…. I remember watching them on sunday nights while eating a bowl of Pasta, in my dirty room in building D in INSA de Lyon…
And this weekend, i rediscovered it… I rediscovered how funny it is… Without Friends, right now there would not be How I Met Your Mother or The Big Bang Theory… So i am now thinking to buy the complete box of DVD (10 seasons, 240 episodes, …)…and watch them ALL over again…. another old dream that i could achieve… i remember being so happy when i bought the first 4 seasons VHS box on Ebay…..
I know some of you never watched Friends, either because they were too young or because they started watching TV shows too late and directly went for Lost, Prison Break and How I Met Your Mother… but i strongly advise you to start watching Friends… I have a friend that just started, and he loves it!
And for those who are already familiar with Friends, go to the beginning. And watch it again. You will be surprised of how many new jokes you can get…
You should expect from time to time a post about Friends
