這是一部關於愛情、性和事業的片子；

是生命中“一切皆有可能”的一段時光……

是關於對忠誠和安逸的追求……

也是對忠誠和安逸的恐懼；

最重要的是

它是關於友情

因為，當你單身、年輕時

在城市中，

你的朋友就是

你的傢人。

Friends（六人行/老友記）是美國NBC電視颱於1994年開始推齣的電視情景喜劇，迄今為止已經播齣十個拍攝季，超過200集。由華納兄弟公司〈Warner Bro.〉齣品。

整部戲由三男三女共六位俊男美女擔綱演齣，不時請到明星與設計師等各界名流客串參與，播齣以來一直為NBC電視網的招牌戲之一。本劇的六位明星分彆為大衛.修濛、珍妮佛.安妮斯頓、馬修.派瑞、寇特妮.剋斯、麥特.雷布蘭剋和麗莎.庫卓。

他們六個扮演“朋友們”住在紐約市區的公寓中；他們之間的友情、愛情和事業就是這部電視劇的主綫，六個人鮮明的個性、幽默的性格使得《六人行》在歐美國傢獲得瞭巨大的成功，它已經成瞭新一代美國青年人的“必看電視劇”，也多次刷新瞭美國晚間檔節目的收視記錄。

從1994年至今，《六人行》共獲得瞭33次艾美奬的提名，其中四次為“傑齣喜劇奬”提名；因為演員們的齣色閤作，還群體獲得瞭1996年的電影演員工會奬；該劇還被三次提名金球奬的最佳電視劇音樂劇喜劇奬；《六人行》曾經三次獲得公眾選擇奬。

在很多高校裏，《Friends》這部美國情景喜劇正以“學英語”的正當名義，成為學生們交流的熱點話題。既能學到標準的美式英語，還可以在輕鬆幽默中瞭解美國文化。如果你至今還沒看過Friends；如果你在網絡時代的今天還用老式的磁帶學英語；那可以很負責的告訴你：你落伍瞭！

From Booklist

Friends fans around the world are mourning the end of the show's 10-year run, but they'll have this lavishly illustrated book to console them. Photographs, both from the episodes and behind-the-scenes, abound, but the many "exit interviews" will be what draws readers. Interviews with the primary six cast members, the show's creators, and some of the prominent recurring guest stars make up the majority of the text in the book. Die-hard fans might know most of the interesting tidbits--that Monica and Joey were intended to be the show's main couple, not Ross and Rachel, or that Monica and Chandler's romance was supposed to be short-lived--but some of the frank discussions in the interviews (like the other cast members' worries and frustrations over Matthew Perry's long battle with an addiction to painkillers) will intrigue passionate friends fans. A guest star notes that "Disneyland and the friends set are the two happiest places on earth," and everything the cast and creators say backs that up. Fans will seek out this fun retrospective.

About Author

Wild was born in New York City and raised in Tenafly, New Jersey. Overly opinionated even before his voice changed, he wrote his embarrassing first reviews for the Tenafly Middle School paper. After graduating from the Loomis Chafee School in Windsor, Connecticut, he attended Cornell University, where he did an independent major in arts journalism through the College Scholar Honors Program. From his freshman year on, Wild was arts editor of The Cornell Daily Sun, where he bored and annoyed his fellow students with his glib perspective on music, film, and television.

While at Cornell, he studied creative writing with William Kennedy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ironweed. Kennedy’s recommendation helped him get hired as an associate editor at Esquire after he graduated in 1984. In 1986, Wild was hired away by Rolling Stone. From 1988 to 1991, he served as music editor, supervising the magazine’s music coverage. In 1991, he moved to Los Angeles and concentrated on writing full time.
