Friends

Supportive these friends might be, always ready with a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold as people they love go through crisis after crisis; what never occurs to them is that these crises are all too often self-induced. Yet because their skewed idea of morality is their idea of normality, they can't understand why they cannot get what each of them ultimately aspires to -- a stable, loving relationship. Friends has made a notable contribution to some areas of popular culture - in particular, language and fashion. The use of "so" to mean "very" or "really" was not invented by any Friends writer.
