美国情景喜剧《老友记》十五年前剧终,但一份关注年轻人媒介使用方式的调查报告显示,它仍然是英国年轻人最喜爱的电视节目。《老友记》的故事背景设定在纽约,讲述了六个好友在生活中遇到的起起落落。现在,人们观看这部剧的方式与上个世纪 90 年代首播时大不相同。

The theme tune says, ‘I'll be there for you.’ And for young viewers, Friends is just that – always there, available on demand for binge-viewing, and back-to-back episodes on Netflix.

《老友记》主题曲中有一句歌词:“我会陪伴在你左右。” 对于年轻观众来讲,它正如歌里唱的那样,一直都在,你可以随时上 Netflix 一集接一集地连着看。
