On May 6, 2004, the finale of the iconic North American sitcom premiered, marking a before and after in comedy.
Today they are fulfilled 20 years since the last episode aired from one of the most popular and iconic series of North American comedy. Friendsbegan airing in 1994 and quickly positioned itself as one of the first in ratings, in addition to catapulting the leading cast to fame.
The series by Marta Kauffman and David Crane has 10 seasons where it mixes laughter and tears and emotions. Tells the life of 6 friends who live in New York and they meet at the legendary café “Central Perk” to talk about their chaotic lives. The stars are Davis Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc and Matthew Perry, who died this year.
What was the last episode of Friends like?
After closing the complicated love story between the protagonists Ross and Rachel, and also the adoption of Monica and Chandler’s 2 children, the scene ends with a sequence shot of the empty apartment, with the 6 leaving the keys on the table symbolically saying goodbye to the public in this act.
To break the melancholy, the funniest of the protagonists makes one last joke. When one of the friends asks if they have time to have one last coffee, Chandler asks “Where?”, tacitly referring to the place where throughout the entire series the 6 of them were together drinking coffee and telling about their eventualities. The detail is that that stage had already been dismantled, which also ended up being an inside joke.
