What was the first friends episode you ever watched?

Mine was the TOW Ross' New Girlfriend. My sister got the second season DVD and I decided to sit down and watch one episode and I ended up watching half the season that night.

The Pilot on it's original air date, first thing in 1994. I've been with this show from the beginning.

The first one I saw was TOW Rachel's Baby Shower.

The pilot, first run. This is one of the few sitcoms I've watched since the beginning.

The first one I saw was TW Where No One's Ready....

Was my first time really sitting down and watching friends and I thought then and still do now, that this is one thier funniest episodes...

Needless to say I was hooked after that...

mine was "the one with the Ick Factor" way back in 1995 -- I love that episode!

The pilot, which I thought was atrocious. I tried three more eps and gave up. Then a year goes by and there's all this buzz, tv guide, magazines, entertainment shows, the big premiere of season 2 with Ross getting off the plane. So I'm like ok I'll give them one more shot. It was the ep where Chandler blows it, Joey is a giving lover, and Rachel goes to the airport. Thought it was hilarious, the show had really improved. Since then top-notch. But still in watching the season 1 eps I missed, I can't stand them. The writing just wasn't there for me...yet.

I am very stubborn when it comes to new shows. I usually think they're going to be stupid and not going to last. So I didn't watch Friends from the beginning. A friend of mine told me it was pretty good but that still didn't convince me. Then when George Clooney & Noah Wyle were going to appear on it, being a fan of George, I watched this episode-The One With Two Parts. I thought the exchange between Monica as Rachel and Rachel as Monica when they were telling the guys about each other was hilarious!! I just knew they had to put that in the clip show. So since then, I've been watching it.

I watched the pilot in the original airing too. I'm also skeptical when it comes to new shows, and I thought the pilot was just OK. But then I tuned in the following week...and the week after that ...and then I was hooked. Eventually, I lost interest in the show but still watched ocassionally. I did miss the finale, however. I don't think I've ever seen a sitcom's finale in the original airing. I always manage to miss them.

"The one where no one was ready"

ultimatetvfan · 07-16-2004, 08:08 PM

I'm not sure what the episode is called but it is one when Ross has one of the guys post it on the internet that he died to get people to notice him. Then they have a fake party and Ross hides in the bathroom and then comes out.

That episode from season 9 (I can't remember what its called either)

I can't really remember my first episode...it was probably about season 3 or 4

CarJackSnyder · 07-18-2004, 01:18 PM
