Remember F.R.I.E.N.D.S ? Some Things You Might Not Know About Friends

1. The show was originally called Insomnia Café ... and a bunch of other things.
   
2. The opening credits were shot at Warner Bros. studio, not in New York.
3. Lisa Kudrow hated playing guitar at first.
4. It was filmed in front of a live audience—except for cliffhangers.![]
5. Matthew Perry struggled with addiction during production.
   
6. Phoebe Buffay’s twin sister, Ursula, was also a character on Mad About You.

7.The apartment numbers switched during the series.

At the beginning of the series, Monica’s door had the number 5 on it. The producers later realized that didn’t make sense as Monica lived on a higher floor. They changed her apartment number to 20. The number on Chandler’s apartment changed as well—from 4 to 19.

1. They were the first TV cast to negotiate as a group.
   During the first season, they were each receiving around $22,000 per episode. But allegedly, by the second season, each actor had a slightly different salary. In 1997, all six cast members refused to work until they all earned an equal salary of $100,000 per episode. This was big news. The New York Times reported, “Stars of hit shows often threaten to boycott their series in pursuit of higher salaries. What is unusual is this cast’s effort to use solidarity as leverage.”

This negotiation worked very well. By the final season, each cast member was earning $1 million per episode.
