Apparently, NBC, on which the show was broadcast from 1994 to 2004, originally felt that the cast was too young and had asked its writers, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, to include an older character who would offer advice to the twenty-somethings; this was scrapped later.

Tales from the shoot
>> With each episode lasting five hours of shoot, the show was filmed in front of a live audience comprising 300-odd people.

>> Apparently, the yellow frame around the peephole in Monica’s apartment was originally a mirror but the glass was broken by a crew-member during the initial stages of filming and it later became a prop.

>> If you ever visit Greenwich Village in New York City to check out the Friends Apartment building at the corner of Grove and Bedford Streets, you will likely be staring at a restaurant called The Little Owl on the ground floor instead of the sitcom’s fictional coffee-house, Central Perk.

>> Remember that comfy orange couch in the coffee shop? That prop was found in the basement of Warner Bros. Studio.
