#FIRSTLOOK: CELEBRATE NATIONAL TELEVISION DAY AT “THE FRIENDS EXPERIENCE”

Exactly one week from today on November 21, 2022 marks National Television Day – a chance to look back at the lasting stories and shows that have shaped culture and cultivated lifelong fans. The ’90s sitcom FRIENDS is one of those shows. To commemorate National TV Day for every FRIENDS superfan in the City (there’s a whole lot of them!), there’s no better way to celebrate than immersing yourself in the world of Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler and Monica IRL at The FRIENDS Experience inside Yorkdale Shopping Centre.  

The Experience is riddled with references to some of the most iconic episodes. For a trained eye, these clues add hilarious flares to the experience. If you haven’t watched the series 20 times over like some superfans have (myself included), not to fret! We’ve put together an episode guide to make sure every level of fan is fully prepped to recreate the most ionic scenes from the show.  

“The One with the Cop” (S5, Ep16): This episode is home to the legendary PIVOT!! scene which fans can reenact at The FRIENDS Experience.  

“The One Where Eddie Moves In” (S2, Ep17): Grab the guitar and head outside Central Perk to sing Phoebe’s greatest hit “Smelly Cat.” This is the ultimate Phoebe busking fantasy.  

“The Last One, Part 2” (S10, Ep18): In Chandler and Joey’s apartment, the faint sound of clucking can be heard from the foosball table. Watch this episode to find out what’s in there.

“The One Where No One’s Ready” (S3, Ep2): “Can I BE wearing any more clothes?? Maybe I’ll do some… lunges.” Yes, fans too can declare these quintessential lines while wearing all of Chandler’s clothes.  

 “The Pilot”, aka “The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate”, “The First One” and “The One where It All Began” (S1, Ep1): This fast-moving episode introduces us to each of the characters, showing their intricate personalities from the get-go. Visitors can explore behind-the-scenes sets, costume replicas and the original pilot episode script.

The FRIENDS Experience will only be here till January 2, 2023 so get your tickets here now!
