15 Similarities Between Friends And The Big Bang Theory
10. Two Characters With No Previous Sexual Attraction Get It On
Friends: Who can forget Chandler and Monicas London hook-up? In perhaps the biggest twist in Friends history, their relationship prospered into one to rival Rachel and Ross and it brought about an entirely new dynamic to the six friends. These two unlucky-in-love characters became very lucky indeed. The Big Bang Theory: Quite why Penny and Raj were thrown together nobody really knows. They hook up and then part ways barely an episode later with no lasting changes or effects. It smelled a little of desperation. Even if Penny and Raj formed a proper relationship not many fans would have wanted that anyway; The Big Bang Theory is all about Leonard and Penny. Again, Friends did it better here. If you watch the show back properly the seeds were sewn as early as the first season. Whilst Carol was in labour several shots of Chandler are shown trying to convince Monica that they should get together if neither are in a relationship by the time they are 40, showing that both characters had previously explored the possibility before. Whilst shocking initially, their getting together seemed totally right.
