Little-Known Details About the Hit Show Friends

The Show Had to Work Around Financial Constraints

Given how much money the show made over 10 seasons, it can be hard to remember that in the earlier days of the show, there was less money to work with. In season three the showrunners were forced to cut costs in a big way, so they filmed a whole episode on the Monica apartment set to save money. In the episode titled 'The One Where No One’s Ready,' the six friends attempt to quickly get ready for Ross's fancy black-tie benefit.

Despite the financial constraints, it became one of the most loved episodes of the entire Friends series. It goes to show that you don't always need a big budget to create successful entertainment.
