Friends

Friends Nine years ago, six new people entered the lives of American citizens and created an image that has touched the hearts, minds, and souls of everyone who knows them. When these six people leave our lives at [possibly] the end of this year, a deep void will set upon many of us. A void that is going to be hard to fill. This all sounds like a bunch of bologna, but for those who follow [religiously] the NBC hit television show Friends, this feeling is all too real. Over the past nine seasons, Americans have grown with the characters and started to identify with them in slight, subtle ways. Let’s flash back to May 2000, where negotiations to re-sign Friends for two more seasons have turned more unsightly than Ugly Naked Guy. The stars of the show wanted the network to cough up several hundred thousand dollars to each character or they could say bye bye to Must See NBC (Rice 1). NBC complied and again negotiations were on the table in February 2002, only this time the cast was asking for $1 million a show.
