F: Friends *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge
How you doin'? You know the Friends (1994-2004) theme song is playing in your head right now, so go ahead and click on the image to listen to it while you read.
This is a show that stands the test of time. The writing and the acting blend so seamlessly together that it's impossible for me to see any of these actors as NOT Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Ross, or Chandler. How about you?
Friends has been my happy place for a long time. My first baby wasn't colicky, but there was something going on with her for a solid two hours every single evening, and this show came on just at the point when my tether was about to break. I'd hand her off to the hubster and head to the basement for a half hour escape with my Friends. Then I'd re-emerge chillaxed and ready to be supermom again. What's kind of neato---and what I'm just realizing as I type this---is that as a teenager, my daughter is the one who reintroduced me to the joys of the show when she discovered it a couple of summers ago. It's the show that keeps on giving.

Anyway, yes... I watched a fair amount of Friends. I'll always remember this one episode with Jean-Claude Van Damme -- because I was really into this blonde cheerleader girl in HS and she came up to me one day and told me that her friend liked me. So I quoted the muscles from Brussles: "Tell your friend I think her friend is cute :-P

'Suze! (She was the first person to call me Suze instead of Susie) Have you watched the season finale of Friends? Omigawd, Suze, I nearly pooped ma pants!'
It was Ross and Rachel's first kiss. I can still hear that message in my mind's ear to this day.
Love the way you wrote your post, Supermom.
Love,
