The “Friends” TV Show Fan Quiz #1

Ok, and AGAIN, at the urging of a few of my own “friends”, AND, as I sit here doing this quiz while actually watching the episode of “Friends” about “The One With The Routine”, I have finally decided to go ahead and do it. Because of the success of my other (and only) quiz entitled, “The Michael Jackson Fan Quiz #1” (with the promise of at least a second), and because I actually do watch “Friends” just about everyday . . . Disc, after Disc, after Disc. And Day after Day . . . And . . . Well, you get it right? (I’m really not THAT nuts about it, but I am a LITTLE nuts about it. Put simply, I just enjoy their company as I work and just for enjoyment. Therefore, you could probably ask me anything, even right down to the last tiny detail and I would probably be able to tell you what it was. That being my qualification for this task, I will go easy on this first one. It will be kind of a general overall quiz on the 10 Seasons of “Friends” (3 easy questions per season). Later, I will try to do more of them that are much harder, probably one per season. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this one . . . Just Consider It A Warm-Up!! Try not to be too overconfident though. And a word of advice on this one, know your Guest Stars as well. OK . . . Let’s Get To It !!!
