Exactly 27 years have passed since the first episode of 'Friends': They were 'kids' facing a big challenge

Since ‘Friends’ first aired on September 22, 1994, the series has been watched by over 22 million people worldwide. Rachel ( Jennifer Aniston ), Phoebe ( Lisa Kudrow ), Monica ( Courteney Cox ), Ross ( David Schwimmer ), Chandler ( Matthew Perry ), and Joey ( Matt LeBlanc ) became world stars precisely because of that series.

The series provided them with life glory, numerous acquaintances, and wealth, but the beginnings were completely different than the end of the series. 

Ross had a hard time with the divorce from his wife, who became gay, Rachel left her fiancé and came to the Central Perk cafe in a wedding dress in search of Monica. 

Joey was an anonymous actor just looking for a real acting engagement, Phoebe played guitar on the subway platform, while Chandler was working at a job whose name no one could remember.

During the first season, each of the main protagonists earned approximately $ 22,000 per episode.

Along with the popularity of the series, earnings grew in parallel, and in the end, they earned one million dollars per episode until the last season.

Ten seasons and 235 episodes remain behind the team, and recently HBO showed a special episode in which the team reunited and revealed some interesting and unknown details from the filming.
