“It was very clear to us from the very start, your friends are your family”
“I just recreated my apartment”
“we was once 20 and our lives were pretty much the same”
"It's about sex, love, relationships, careers, a time in your life when everything's
possible. And it's about friendship because when you're single and in the city, your
friends are your family."
—The original treatment used by Crane, Kauffman and Bright to pitch the series to
NBC.
The TV program Friends has targeted to present daily life situation that
young adults have to face alone in the real world. Not only did they meet
their target but also they ended up going beyond that and expressed much
more through the series. The genre was met very well with high standards
but they also had to carry out surveys to reassure that the context that will
be carried out isn’t too offensive to for their viewers.
The target audience is from 18-35 of age, this is because of the language
used and the action shown on screen.
Friends was written by young adults who was going through the
same life situation. The pitch was declined a few times before it hit
the screens, met the target audience and was giving more then
expected to the viewers. The genre of sitcom was a success, they
made their viewers laugh and when they realised that some
of the jokes were not funny they altered them
and presented it to young people in the
industry.
