    My Top Cancelled TV Shows #8


    Friends
    "I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"

    Six friends navigate life in the real world by relying on each other.  Rachel Green (Aniston) is a spoiled rich girl, trying a career and Mr. Right.  She lives with Monica (Cox), a chef who is extremely organized and OCD.  Monica's brother, Ross (Schwimmer) is a paleontologist who is unlucky in love.  Ross' college friend, Chandler (Perry), always has a sarcastic comment.  Chandler lives with Joey (LeBlanc), a clueless actor and ladies man.  And Phoebbe (Kudrow) is an eccentric musician and masseuse, who used to live with Monica.


    How could any top 10 list, for a person who grew up in the 90s / 00s, not include this show?  It has been off the air for 7 years, and the reruns are still popular.  My friends, particularly my roommate, often quote this show...
    "All I hear is blah, blah, blah, dinosaur with wings"

    Before the show started, the six leads were essentially unknowns.  However the popularity of the show boosted all of them to super-stardom.  Jennifer Aniston is the most visible of the friends, with her personal life / relationships and her movie career.  Courteney Cox, who was the best known before the show, has since appeared in 2 other TV shows Dirt and Cougar Town, starting it's 3rd season in the fall, and is one of the main characters in the Scream movie franchise.  Lisa Kudrow has also moved on to movies, and has a popular new TV show Web Therapy.  Matt LeBlanc starred in the Friends spinoff  Joey which only lasted 2 seasons.  He currently appears on the show Episodes.  Matthew Perry has appeared in numerous films, but has not found success on TV.  He appeared on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Mr. Sunshine, but both only lasted a season.  David Schwimmer also appears in movies, and is the voice of Melman in the Madagascar movies.

    A consistently funny show, full of quotable lines and memorable characters.
