[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now it may seem hackneyed but at the time there was nothing like it. It was the first show that spoke to young twentysometbings in a way  that wasn’t condescending. and the characters/ actors were cool and we all wanted to be there or be friends with tbem. I remember thinking it was the first show “for me” [/quote]

Also the first show with a true ensemble cast AND EACH cast member had a storyline in EACH episode. I think up until then the storyline usually was around 1 to 2 people and everyone else was filler.[/quote]

Nope not the first, also Living Single did Friends better and a year earlier. That said, I watched and laughed. Monica with those beads and braids. WE WERE ON A BREAK!! [/quote]

Living Single not listed on IMDB as ensemble show,.[/quote]
“ Echoing Latifah’s comments, Coles recently recalled to ET how the president of NBC said he wished he would have bought Living Single. “And strangely, a year later, Friends came on,” she says, adding “the big difference is the melanin.”
