The One Where Rachel Was Pregnant For Fifteen Months And Nobody Acknowledged It.
BY ADAM MORRISON
APRIL 2ND, 2023
Premiering in September 1994 and continuously topping the list of distinguished sitcoms, Friends is an entertainment staple, creating a legacy that no other sitcom has yet rivalled. It remains a dependable facet of modern television guides, routinely airing back-to-back seasons and regular weekend specials promoting certain highlights of the series' history.
It was almost too big a show to fail - and fail it did not.
Now a calling for niche trivia prominent throughout quiz nights, Friends was crammed with lore that, lamentably, interchanged as Friends' writing team saw fit. These omissions to the normality can be written off as errors in the writing process, as it's unlikely the David Crane and Marta Kauffman-created sitcom set out to make viewers ponder Ross' (David Schwimmer) repulsion towards ice cream or Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) need to wear glasses.
Such plot points - if they even qualify as such - weren't a necessity for the Friends umbrella of facts. They weren't commonplace in each episode, instead coming up once or twice and leaving the Friends gathering examining each episode for similar tidbits of story lapses.
Instead, viewers should be more preoccupied with studying why a titanic amount of Friends characters abruptly departed the series...
