Friends stole all their ideas from I Love Lucy. Even the hair styles. I'm just kidding, but actually I'm probably correct.

I have to disagree. I'm a huge "I Love Lucy" fan and have seen every episode ever made. There's no comparisons that I can even relate too, between the two sitcoms. I'm thinking the "Honeymooner's" is more closer to "I Love Lucy" then "Friends" is!

Really? Anyway, if you break it down into elements, you can see the similarities I think. For example, plot development, location, theme music, the glamour, the silly misunderstandings, etc. But just taking the personalities of the four, Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred, you can dissect those nicely and spread the traits around and they perfectly create the personalities of the Friends characters. To me, it has nothing to do with the era in which the shows were made. But just think - if Friends had been made before I Love Lucy, Friends would have gotten all the credit. And I do think that hair was a big part of the success of I Love Lucy. No doubt![/QUOTE]
I still fail to see any comparison's. They're were only four characters in "I Love Lucy" vs. six in Friends. Ricky was a Cuban band leader and Fred and Ethel were Landlords. Lucy was a crazy red-head who was always the[i] "center of attention" [/i]in the series, and constantly found trouble one way or another. Ethel was always the underdog compared to Lucy, and married to a grumpy old goat. I fail to see how Rachel, Phoebe or Monica compare to these characters. Ricky was a Cuban with a bad temper and always upset at Lucy for her crazy antics, and I don't see any of these personality traits in Chandler, Ross, or Joey. The only thing I can relate to the both shows is that Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel shared a bond as the same for the Friends characters. The success of I Love Lucy was not because of her hair..it was due to her incredible acting ability that she was quite humble about, and always gave credit to the writers for.
By the way...it was Rachel Green( Jennifer Anisten) who became extremely famous for her hair. The haircut to this day is known as "The Rachel".
