What was the very first episode of Friends you ever saw

[Jessica Begiani]

What was the very first epsiode of Friends that you saw? did you like it? Did it give a good first impression. Did you get hooked just from that episode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure if i can remember that far back i have only been a fan for about 2 years and yet i know most of the quotes episodes lines guest characters. I can't remember which epsiode i first saw it was someting in season 4 or 5 i can't remember

[Ria]

From the very first epi I was hooked. It was TOW the dozen lasanges :) That was when season 5 was just airing in the UK.

[how_you_doin]

The Pilot was the first I ever saw. I may have seen a few with my sister way back in '96 but I don't remember. Anyways in the first season I disliked Joey for some reason but now he's my 2nd fav character. :D

I used to dislike Ross, but now he's my favourite character :)
Hes gotten alot more cuter as the seasons went on and funnier ^^

[Jessica Begiani]

I think the first one i ever saw was a thanksgiving one around season 5 or 6 but i'm not sure.

I use to tottally dislike Ross and Monica but now they are my fave screen siblings.:) :P :D

[caz_brooks]

the first one i ever saw was probably in series four cant quite remember which one but can remeber being totally annoyed when they got to the wedding and then stopped it and ahd to wait for god knows how long to find out what happened, thats probably the earliest moment i can remember

[unagi]

Funny story! I was in RS (religious studies) and we had a supply teacher. He gave us a little work to do and then said that we could watch Friends after. At that time I'd never seen it before but it was TOW Ross got married (London). I thought it was hilarious! Anyway the very same episode was on that Friday night (on first run) and ever since then I was totally hooked! I've seen them all now thanks to DVD and Channel 4!

I don't know when I started liking them but I really didn't like Phoebe and Chandler at first. I thought Phoebe was too weird and Chandler was too over the top. Now I love them for exactly that reason!

I remember Sky 1 or Channel4 (i can't remember which one) was in the middle of season 2, 8 or 9 years ago, I was 4 but it was before TOA the Superbowl, coz i remember very clearly watching that episode when it was brand new, anyway RTÉ was at the end of season 1 and my sister's friend had showed her this show called Friends, and she was like this is a really good show, and then the next Monday, TOW Rachel Finds Out was on brand new on RTÉ 2 and she was like telling my brother, about this great show, and I remember my sister was babysitting me, and took me out of bed and brought me downstairs, I saw this show and thought jokes that I got were funny, and ever since then I've loved this show, it's always been part of my life, I can't remember my life without Friends, I've been an OBSESSED fan for about a year now

[SantaOnProzac]

I remember watching part of the one where Ross & Rachel broke up... back in like '96. I was 9, and had seen a lot of ads for it, i was watching it and I was like "This is so boring, why is there hype over this!" LOL. But like a year later, I watched the one where Ben walks for the 1st time, Ross & Rachel say "I love you," etc. that one! Hehe. Then I was permantely hooked!

[Ken_Adams]

OMG, I cant even remember it has been so long. The frist episode of friend I ever saw was about 6 years ago but I wasnt hooked right away...I really started watching in the 8th season.

[JennyAnn]

Very first episode I ever saw was TO On the Last Night (syndicated). The first episode I remember watching as new was TOW Rachel Has a Baby.

[Mrs. Treeger]

The first I ever saw was TOW Baby On The Bus, in '97. It was a good start, that's one of my fav episodes now...

[cherry_me_fan]

The first episode i ever saw was TOW Ross got high and I went crazy for F.R.I.E.N.D.S right from that episode because of the stupid dessert Rachel makes... it's really funny!

[Aline]

Wow...I can't remember...I think it was 2º season...I think it was TOW the baby on the bus...But i'm not sure..anyway, i was totally hooked!!! That epi, made me laugh my ass off!!!

[Bing-a-ling]

uhhh, that's a really long time ago, it must be at least 9 years already. It was TOW Nana Dies Twice because I remember Ross talking to Rachel that he likes her the best and so on... It was a really interesting episode but I didn't get hooked until few months later.

[Nanami]

The first I ever saw was TOW Baby On The Bus, in '97. It was a good start, that's one of my fav episodes now...

Me too *lol*!
But I watched this episode in 2000!

[Glen]

I actually didn't get into Friends until really late. Of course, I'd hear people talking about it all the time and stuff, but for some wierd reason I'd never actually watched a full episode, right up 'til the end of Season 9. (I actually used to think that Ross was Chandler and vise-versa, could I be any more stupid?)

It was about a month before Season 10 was due to air in the UK, and my sister, a Friends fan for much longer than me, had bought the Season 9 DVDs. I was bored, not much to do, and just kinda got watching. It was TOW The Lottery (I think that's it's name?). I was just hooked, I found it so funny - I saw a piece of myself in every one of the characters and that was it, the (healthy) obsession began!

Since then, I've bought every Seasons boxset and have now seen pretty much every episode (there's still a few Season 5 ones I'm yet to see, but I'm working my way through that season right now). I actually regret kinda 'dismissing' it for so long, and not getting into Friends much earlier. But I felt strongly enough about it in a short period of time that I cried just as many tears as anyone at the finale! I'm not even ashamed to admit it!

Ashley, you're 13, right?.....so for you to see the VERY FIRST EPISODE, you had to be like...3 years old!!....How do you remember that far back? lol...I can't remember a damn thing I did before I was 5 years old....lol

Anyway, the first ep I ever watched, was from the first season(but it was on syndication).....I forget the actual name of the episode, but I remember Marcel was reaching his sexual peak and humping everything....I couldn't stop laughing... :icon_lol:

[Amanda]

Im Not Sure When I Was 3 Or 4 I Was Sitting With My Dad And I Heard The FRIENDS Theme Song Lol...My Mom Was Video Taping Me:P

Oh I remember it alright.... my parents wanted to watch something else on then my sister who right now is 24 years old said, no there's supposed to be a pilot on tonight for this one show that I want to check out. So of course my sister won and I watched it with her. Well...... i immidiatlly got hooked on the show. I didn't even get most of the jokes but my sister watched it every weekend and I watched it with her. By the third season I would put on play's for my parents just with me reciting my favorite lines from "Friends". They would laugh soooo hard, mainly because they knew that I didn't even understand what most of the jokes meant, like the jokes on sex and all, lol! But I continued to enjoy it right up until the end. So now that I've gotten a bunch of my friends hooked on it at school and all of my teachers watched it, they call me the "Friends" person at are school, because my teachers say that I'm the youngest and I've watched it the longest, lol!:04: :03:

Plus, I was the first person to buy all of the dvd's too. I missed part of a day of school because I was up so late the night season eight came out. I went to "Hastings" and stood outside for three hours until they opened the doors and I was the first person in my little town of Prescott, AZ to buy "Friends" season eight!! I was so proud of myself! It was like such an accomplishment for me, lol!:rolleyes: :P :04:

[CHANDLERandJOEYfan]

[TheHolidayArmadillo]

The first episode I ever saw was TOW they all turn thirty it in spired my best friend and i to do a mile on a hippity hop we did it in like 59 min 48 sec our backs hurt for like three days afterward

[#1-DJCMLM-fan]

awwww how cute.....damn.. you got a GREAT MEMORY...mine sucks! lol


Actually, my memory sucks too, lol!:P I just have heard allot of stories from my family about it over the years, (were all huge "Friends" fans) and of course my aunt had to share this information when we were with Matthew one day and I'm sure that she's told Jen too, lol! And I also do remember pretty much everything that has to do with "Friends", that's like the only part of my brain that actually works, lol!:03:

[Richie_Sambora]

umm, I watched i forget what the name is but the Epi where Joey tells mon and I think Rachel that he threw Cathys fake leg into the fire. We saw it on our vacation. We were in PEI or Nova Scotia, and my parents went to walk around the graveyard (ours door to out motel opened up right on a graveyard ugh).Me and my sis watched it, we laughed SOOOO hard. It left a good first impression but I wasnt hooked. I began watching episode after episode around season 9 TO In Barbados

[wizard54]

The first episode I saw was the pilot.

[Ross Skywalker]

i think it was TO after the superbowl part 2,but im not sure

[Ross&Rachel]

My first one was The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line

[Nestle_Tollhouse]

I don't remember which was the first episode I ever saw, but I remember the first promo I ever saw was when the UPN station in Minneapolis (back when I lived in Minnesota) starting to run Friends reruns. It was the scene from "The One Where Heckles Dies" where Joey talks about this girl he started seeing when he first got to the city. "She" was really hot, but she had this huuuge Adam's apple.
I do remember that the first non-rerun, new episode I saw was "The One With Joey's Bag," mainly because I remember Monica's horrendous massage in the beginning of the episode.

[~Queen Rachel~]

Mine was TOW Rachel Has A Baby Part II

[rrlobster]

Tow: The One Where Everbody Finds Out

[AllYouNeedIsF.R.I.E.N.D.S.]

some episode from the 6th season.

[AmberPerry]

When Rachel gets the invitation to Ross & Emily's wedding and all these flashbacks are shown; I was so confused lol!

[Em Jay Em]

Sadly it was TOW Ross' Thing followed by TOW The Ultamite Fighting Champion (Double Bill you see)

I loved it but had only really been Channel Flicking and didnt even know it was the "famous Friends" that i had heard everyone talk about.

A few days/weeks later i saw TOW Ross' Wedding and was hooked. Caught up with the show by watching Seasons 1-4 on VHS over the summer before Series 5 began.

Hate to admit it but when people first started talking about friends it sounded lke a load of c**p and didnt interest me in the slightest. I now own every episode and have proberbaly seen each one a minimum of ten times. Im even watching it all the way though (for about the 30th time) now, currently just past mid way through series 4.

So yeah that one faithfull night Channel Flicking led me to become a Friends Addict!

[we were on a break]

i dunno i cant remember cos i started watchin it when i was like 6 so over 10 years ago so i dunno

[CARRIEandFRIENDSareLIFE]

OMGosh I totally have wanted to tell this story for sooooooo long! Anyway, a lot of people had told me about what a great show friends was and i had kept wanting to see it, but i never had. then one day i turn on the tv, it's around 7:45ish and it's monica, in the kitchen, with a lobster which she's putting in the pot and she says to it "lucky *******" of course then i go GASP and i turn it off cuz i'm like 9 and i dont think it's appropriate hahaha then i can not remember the name of the first full episode i watched...but after that i wouldn't tell my dad i was watching friends but i would like sneak to the tv room and go watch it hahahah and pretend i was watching disney channel........but now my dad knows i watch it and that i'm obsessed with it!
