The text to me that represents the most about culture is television, particularly of the sitcom genre. There is one television sitcom on the air that attracts millions of viewers every Thursday night. This show received an award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Series from the Actors Guild and twelve Emmy nominations since its debut. It features six twenty-somethings, three women; Monica, Phoebe and Rachel and three men; Ross, Joey and Chandler, who face life and love in New York. They take on the single life with their hilarious predicaments and different backgrounds, learning at the end of each episode that there's nothing that provides true comfort and companionship like friends. But in every episode, the cast helps us realize through laughter that life's little problems are best handled in the company of others. If you haven't guessed the show's title already, it's the hit NBC show "

d just how seriously the TV show has impacted fashion culture in America today.

Monica: Oh. ...Now Monica starts laughing...

Friends". Debuting Sep 22, 1994, it was immediately successful in its portrayal of American culture. From the beginning, Americans from coast to coast could be seen and heard copying the clothes the actors wore and using the same lingo as the scriptwriters coined for the show.

The TV Show, "Friends" affects the way people think about life as a whole. It affects America's style and fashion, yet it sends out the message that without much money and possessions, good friends, your life can be the envy of those with everything but close friends. Finally, the show sets an example of how six diverse people from so many origins can still be the closest of friends.

Each friend has something that they've overcome, and it affects the way people think about life. It gives people new hope if they are in a tough situation, and see one of the characters survive a similarly tough battle. Monica has lost a lot of weight after being so fat as a youth, while Rachel has learned to cope as an independent after being daddy's spoiled little girl her whole life. Even Chandler, a guy who comes from such a troubled and abnormal home can live a normal and justified life. In fact, all of the characters have their own accomplishments from their pasts. It just goes to show you that anyone can overcome a problem they have. "Friends" does this weekly as they battle through their lives and backgrounds to find true comfort and companionship in their love lives, jobs, and each other.
