this programme is the best. i have got season 5 and i think that it is so funny. joey is the best and chandler and pheobe are second. joey is stupid and funny and chandler is sarcastic!!!

It's kind of funny how my Mother considered this a family show in our house when it is meant to be an teen and up show (I have a younger brother). However, it's probably one of my more favorite shows now! It's truly hilarious and the characters are all very likable! I'd recommend this to just about anyone older than 12! However, not everyone might get some of the jokes, especially younger viewers,

FRIENDS is a great show. While I do understand that there are sometimes things that parents might feel are inappropriate, the reality is that everyone in 7th grade, or about 12 years and older, have heard, seen, or even said at some point. These 6 core characters show how to maintain wonderful friendships based on honesty, love and trust. Values such as love, friendship, responsibility, trust, hard work, and the importance of laughter are shown. One interesting point is that when Ross and Rachel have had a child out of wedlock together, the point is clearly made that condoms are not 100% effective, and a lot of people in my grade didn't know that. I'd definitly watch this show- I watch it over and over and over again, and have most of the seasons on DVD. It's great when you just want to relax and have a laugh.

I like the show a looooooot! Is good for kids who are 12 and up because of the sexual jokes. Other than that, funny show with good messages about loyalty and friendship!

One show that actually makes me laugh out loud. Also, the characters are so normal and can be easily identified with and related to. I've been watching random episodes from different seasons since I was five or six. It's a really great show.

It all depends on how mature your child is. I mean I've been watching this show since I was around 6-8 years old. And like somebody else said-It's all pretty mild... It's not like a naked person is going to pop up any given second.

Both me and my mom LOVE this show. I only started watching it like 2 months ago but usually tune in at four pm to watch it on TBS. My friend, me, and her little bro were only watching this, cuz we were waiting for 'Raymond to go on, but we loved it. my friend and I laughed at most of the jokes, some of them her bro didn't get and we had to explain that it was ok, cuz the joke might have been inappropriate. also some language that we had to make sure her brother didn't repeat. it says things like "da*n" and "b**ch", but besides the b word, mild swears.

Friends is an intoxicating mix of laughter and tears that has held most viewer's attention for the past ten years. The brilliant direction, writing and tight-knit cast has created a show that stayed fresh week after week. On the subject of sexuality, situations and innuendo are everywhere. As a teenager, this is nothing I couldn't handle in the fourth grade. The jokes that are a little subtler fly over the heads of those not ready to hear it. There are several episodes when characters are intoxicated, and it doesn't make for a very wholesome show and characters sometimes make mistakes. When you really think about it, the mistakes that are made actually discourage drinking. Overall, I think this show is definately appropriate for kids my age and even a bit younger. The issues are things that can be discussed and thought about. My twelve year-old sister and I watch this show every night because of the great dynamics between the cast. We adore the characters because of their great relationships and their lasting friendship.
