“It’s so cozy and comforting”: 1 Season of Friends Stands Out for Being So Different It Felt Like a Whole New Show Before David Crane, Marta Kauffman Changed it All
After half a century of genre-defining sitcoms like I Love Lucy reigning over television screen time, a shift was noticed in the aftermath of the Cold War-era world. A new kind of sitcom, Friends, had come into existence that encouraged a certain degree of adorably carefree lifestyle that was neither possible nor dreamed of before.
However, Friends was anything but a superficial attempt at drawing in viewers for network ratings. Inadvertently, and unaware of its transformative powers, the show started an entire revolutionary movement that popularized the concept of Manhattan culture and independent lifestyle.

Colored with muted tones of pastel hues and overall optimism, David Crane and Marta Kauffman’s Friends became a vocal piece that defined as well as empowered an entire era of viewers with its innovative narrative structure.
