Americans cozy up to 'Friends'
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Since Sept. 11, Americans by the millions have been reaching out to friends real ones, and imaginary ones on television.
television.
The NBC sitcom Friends has unexpectedly become TV's most popular show this fall. Rachel is pregnant, Ross is the dad, and viewers are eager to share the experience.
"Nobody expects that in the eighth year of a series," co-creater David Crane said this week. "It's phenomenal."
Many suggest Friends is doing well because viewers crave the familiar in a time of stress — the comfort food theory. Crane thinks that shortchanges the producers, writers and actors.
"We have something to do with it," he said. "We're not just cozy."

with a new energy. New York Daily News critic Eric Mink called the new season's episodes "creative gems — funny, touching, crisply performed and produced and consistent with the characters' long-established personalities."
Last spring, when a lackluster set of Friends episodes was beaten regularly in the ratings by Survivor, there were real questions about a comeback.
"It kind of felt like the series was done — it had said what it had to say, it was good while it lasted but it was time to fold it up," said Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University.
And it was introducing two plot devices - marriage and pregnancy - that for many television series are signs of creative desperation, he said.
Instead, viewers who have figuratively "hung out" with the six main characters in their carefree youth have chosen to watch them grow up.
"They tapped into a story line back in May that was terrific, and that America clearly wanted to see," said NBC entertainment president Jeff Zucker. "We know that when Ross and Rachel hooked up for the first time five years ago that it was their single biggest year. Clearly, America loves the Ross and Rachel combination."
nation.
Does that mean the ratingshungry Zucker will order that the characters played by Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer — currently on the outs romantically — get together again? He said he's leaving it up to the creators. They're not tipping their hands.
