2024 the best of friends book summary review
Price: $37.50
(as of Nov 29, 2024 04:03:10 UTC - Details)
A fully illustrated and authorized episode guide celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the hit-television show Friends, including a look behind-the-scenes of cult-favorite episodes, exclusive photos from Warner Bros., brand new interviews with show creators Marta Kauffman, David Crane, and set designer John Shaffner, and more.
The beloved show Friends introduced the world to six young New Yorkers living together, falling in love, breaking up (cue Ross's "We were on a break!"), and getting into hilarious shenanigans, which became an instant classic formula that inspired dozens of "hangout sitcoms" long after the show's reign. But no sitcom has ever come close to the series that started it all, spawning iconic looks like "the Rachel" and timeless catchphrases like "How you doin'?" while creating a cultural sensation that catapulted the cast members to instant mega-stardom.
Throughout the show's ten- season run, viewers watched Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey navigate their twenties and thirties with unwavering friendship, determination, and, of course, plenty of sarcasm. Friends Forever takes fans back to the set where it all began with exclusive photos of the sitcom that won four Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, eleven People's Choice Awards, and a Golden Globe for Jennifer Aniston for Best Lead Actress in a Television Series. This fully illustrated episode guide will treat readers to nostalgic flashbacks of the top one hundred episodes and sneak peeks of how popularly referenced lines from the show came to be. Friends Forever also boasts new interviews with show creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman on how the show got its start and set designer John Shaffner who reveals his inspirations behind the iconic looks behind Monica’s and Rachel’s apartment and Central Perk.
It's no wonder why the Friends cast was chosen by TV Guide readers as the Best Comedy cast of all time, while countless other publications such as Vanity Fair named the show one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Fun, hilarious interactives include:
Joey’s fake resume vs real one Countdown to the funniest Thanksgiving foods Trivia game Q&A from "The One with the Embryos" (Seriously, what is Chandler Bing’s job?) Follow Ross’s infidelity trail from "The One with the Morning After" Who’s that celebrity? A comprehensive guide to some of the most famous celebrity guest stars from all ten seasons

Title: A must have!
Review: I already have the â10 years anniversaryâ one, so I had to get the 25th.Iâm not a huge fan of the episode guide kind of thing: I mean I know every single episode by heart so I donât need a reminder of them; but the greatest thing about this book, for me, is all the behind-the-scenes information!! This is very interesting and I love it! With really good pictures as well as the best line from each episode.I also had a wonderful surprise with the hard cover underneath the paper one: entirely filled with the best lines of the show; an awesome idea!! Love it!Anyway itâs a must have for every fan!!

Title: Nice Book
Review: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She's always been a huge fan of the TV show and likes that she can read about the behind scenes stuff. I'm fine with the fact it doesn't include every single episode because if it did it would be a 600-page book! The most popular episodes are included. My book arrived promptly and in excellent condition so I was also happy about that.

Title: Excellent present for a Friends fan!
Review: Fantastic book with lots of unknown facts about the show, behind the scenes pictures, and a great section about the impact and legacy of the show. Excellent present for a Friends fan! It fluctuates in price a lot, I bought it for $24, but have seen it ranging between $22-32.

Title: Not exactly what I expected
Review: This includes just a small amount of the âbehind the scenes/historyâ bits in the beginning of the book. That was disappointing. Beyond that, it describes most episodes of each season (which if youâre a fan, you already know the plots). I wish every episode was included instead of skipping over some. Seems incomplete.

Title: You'll Have A Blast Just Thumbing Through This Treasure Trove of Factoids and Anecdotes
Review: This is such a fun book. It's chock full of photos that will take you back in time. The content is well written, fun and organized well for the Friends' fan. What a great Christmas gift this will make. I'm making a list and ordering a dozen or so. Even if you aren't a Friends' fan, it's interesting to learn about the evolution of this major hit series. I highly recommend this book. (Can you tell?)

Review: O livro é excelente. Algo que tinha que adicionar à minha coleção e às memórias deste série eterna, que celebra os anos 90, a geração X.Quanto ao transporte e embalagem... deixa algo a desejar... a embalagem estava algo danificada (felizmente não afectou o livro) e os serviços dos CTT Expresso em Portugal, estão muito aquém de muitas das transportadoras da concorrência.
