One of the most successful television series of its time, Friends won numerous awards as a perennial favorite of fans and critics alike. Set in New York City, the show features the lives of six twenty-something friends who share apartments with each other, Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry).
