The series focused on the lives of a group of six twenty-somethings (eventually thirty-somethings), consisting of three men and three women residing in Greenwich Village.

Friends (originally Friends Like Us) was produced by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television for NBC in the U.S., and was first broadcast on that network. It was followed by daily syndication cable network TBS, among many other broadcast networks in numerous countries throughout the world. In the US, the first episode was aired on NBC on September 22, 1994, and the last one on May 6, 2004.

Friends was one of the most popular and longest-running sitcoms in television history, gaining tens of millions of fans all over the globe. The show won many awards during its run, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, and six straight People's Choice Awards for Favorite Television Comedy Series.

Courtney Cox originally auditioned for the role of Rachel, but found that her personality was more suited for the character of Monica.

Behind the scenes, the show was known for its unusually cohesive and unified cast. The six main actors made deliberate and conscious efforts, from early on, to keep the show's ensemble format and to not allow any one of them to dominate. This included requesting that all actors on the show be nominated either for the same category of award (mostly "Supporting Actor") or not at all, and entering collective instead of individual salary negotiations. The actors became such close friends that one guest star, Tom Selleck, reported sometimes feeling left out. This was a criticism later echoed by British actress Helen Baxendale, who guest starred as Ross's second wife, Emily.

The character of Ursula (Phoebe's twin sister) first appeared in the sitcom Mad About You as a waitress. Kudrow played Ursula on both Mad About You and Friends. The show's creators did not originally intend for Phoebe to have a twin, but they added the character to explain why Kudrow was appearing on two different shows on the same network, at one time as a part of the same Thursday night line-up.
