Season 5

Friends is an American sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman which follows the lives of six friends living in New York: lovable but clueless Joey Tribbiani, spoilt rich kid Rachel Green, neurotic Monica Geller, nerdy Ross Geller, offbeat Phoebe Buffay and wise-cracking Chandler Bing.

The series aired in the USA on NBC from 22 September, 1994 to 6 May, 2004. There are 236 half-hour episodes in 10 seasons.

Friends originally aired in South Africa on M-Net, ending its run on Wednesday 6 October, 2004. It later aired on e.tv (from 1 October, 1998 to 15 August, 2008), beginning on the first night the channel began broadcasting. It also aired on DStv's M-Net Holiday and Sony Entertainment Television (SONY) channels.

See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

Season 5 premiered on SONY on Friday 12 October 2012, at 18h45. New episodes broadcast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the same time. There are 24 episodes in the fifth season.

Season 5

Ross and Emily’s wedding goes ahead, but she disappears at the reception. Back in New York she calls Ross and tells him that they can remain married if he will never see Rachel again.

He agrees, but after a while he has dinner with all of his friends, including Rachel. Emily is unable to feel comfortable with Ross and Rachel being friends and she and Ross get a divorce.

Ross moves in with Joey and Chandler since he sold his apartment, but eventually moves into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment.

Phoebe gives birth to triplets: Frank Jr. Jr., Leslie, and Chandler. She tries to keep one after becoming attached to them, but Frank and Alice are unwilling to give up a child.

Chandler and Monica continue an intimate relationship in secret. During the season, each of the friends (except Ross) find out in various different ways.

Finally Chandler admits that he in love with Monica. When Ross sees them kissing he is furious at first, but then accepts it when he realises that they are serious about each other.

Rachel starts a new job at Ralph Lauren. Joey gets the lead in a movie, but travels to Las Vegas to find production has shut down. Everyone goes to Vegas to see him, but find out that he is working as a gladiator for the Caesar's Palace casino.

On the plane ride over, Ross and Rachel play pranks on each other which grow more and more outrageous. She and Ross then get drunk and run to the nearest chapel and get married.

Monica and Chandler are there planning to get married too.
