A memorable theme song is a pretty key ingredient for a great TV show. We all remember those opening piano notes from "The Office," and if you grew up in the '90s, you've got "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" memorized word for word. Of course, one of the catchiest theme songs in television history has to be the one from "Friends," where the show's six young stars throw caution to the wind and start partying it up to "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts.
While the song itself is a beloved earworm, what truly makes the moment is how Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and the late, great Matthew Perry decide to hop into a fountain in the middle of the night. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, series set decorator Greg Grande described the vibes during the shoot, saying, "To my best recollection,...

“I’ve tried to make it as different and quirky as we possibly could,” declares production designer Greg J. Grande about Fox’s “Call Me Kat.” The freshman sitcom stars Mayim Bialik, also one of the show’s executive producers, as a single woman who abandons her career in academia to fulfill her dream of opening a “cat cafe.” Grande has had a long career in production design, with credits on shows as diverse at “Friends,” “Cougar Town,” “Dear White People” and “Casual.” Check out our exclusive video chat with Grande above.
Grande admits that he had never heard of cat cafes and was surprised to discover how popular they are in this country. “I never would have imagined that food and cats in the same space would go hand in hand,” he remarks. “But they’re quite interesting. The architecture and some of the creative freedom that these spaces have created is amazing.
