How. You. Doin? by Francesca Marchese https://padlet.com/fmmarchese/c7c9ntwjyi2k In September of 1994, television changed forever.  “The Rachel” haircut was all the rage and the phrase “How you doin?” - asked of course with a New York-Italian accent - was coined. A sitcom that ran for 10 seasons, airing more than 230 episodes, Friends illustrates how dynamic a relationship can truly be. Twenty five years later, Friends is one of the most watched shows, with a growing fanbase. Every viewer is attracted to the nostalgia, as they are able to relate to the characters and situations, regardless of their age. Friends is a classic show that truly captured the stress of a generation of young adults looking for love and happiness, and discovering themselves and meaningful relationships in the process. One of my favorite aspects of the show is how simplistic life was before the age of technology. It's fascinating to see friends navigate the ups and downs of their lives, without relying on the internet, social media or texting to mend situations. Joey is capable of landing a date - and if he is luck an audition - by meeting a girl on the busy streets of Manhattan. Today, it is much easier to meet someone through social media; just slide into the DMs or swipe right to express interest. I gravitate towards Friends because it is real. Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross are all relatable people living their best lives. Hanging out, gossiping and creating memories in Central Perk is totally still a modern day practice, only teenagers and young adults tend to randevu at Starbucks instead. Viewers aspire to live in the Big Apple, sharing apartments with their best friends, paying rent for only a quarter of today’s price. Although Friends genuinely captures the stress of finding love and happiness on the journey to self discovery, it is a sitcom after all, and a sitcom is designed to exaggerate a version of everyday life that reflects a little part of yourself back to you. Friends is lighthearted and comical, which makes watching episode after episode easy. Laughing, relating, empathizing and fantasizing are all what makes Friends a guilty pleasure. en-us 2020-01-21 01:09:36 UTC 2020-01-21 01:14:55 UTC hello@padlet.com How. You.
