This next bit may be wrong. I was recently informed that tickets no longer include a phone number. So, if yours
don't then you probably don't need to call to confirm. Can anyone find out the truth of this matter? The bit in
question: "It is very important to call to confirm your tickets. When the tickets arrive in the mail, there is a map
with them, and on the back there is a phone number to call and tell them you are definitely planning to be there."
JG: "We knew there was going to be a Phoebe/Ursula story from the get-go. In the case of Paolo,
we started that "arc" without knowing exactly where or when it would end up -- the decision to have him make a
pass at Phoebe was actually arrived at pretty late in the game. However, an upcoming two-part arc
involving Rachel, Barry [Rachel's ex-fiancé and Mindy [Rachel's Bridesmaid & Barry's girlfriend] was conceived
of all at once.
"To answer your initial question, then... it varies. "
The episode guide lists all the titles, gives plot synopses, quotes, and credits.
All "Friends" episodes all begin with "The One with...", "The One Where...", "The One At..." ("TOW" or "TOA"). As to why, Jeff Greenstein had this to say:
JG: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles,
because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time.
We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the
water-cooler the next day?"
This information may only pertain to first season. It has changed for the following seasons.
JG: "There are two standing sets -- Monica and Rachel's apartment, which occupies the center of our stage, and the coffee house, which is stage right. Those stay up all the time, 'cause they're in every show.
"Stage left is a space where we put our larger 'swing sets' (sets that are only needed for one episode). In any given week, that could be Chandler and Joey's apartment, Carol and Susan's apartment, or the fancy restaurant in 'Candy Hearts' [114].
"Those three sets face the audience. There's additional space for sets off to the side and behind -- if we have to build sets there, we feed the scene live to the audience on overhead monitors."
