Who was the 7th most popular character,in terms of episodes appeared in? Gunther I suppose.How bout the 8th,9th and 10th?
Janice? Estelle. Monica & Ross’ parents.
I liked Phoebe’s boyfriend, Hank Azaria, but he was only in a handful of episodes.
Marcel?
So by “popular” you mean “character, other than the six main ones, appearing in the most episodes”? Definitely Gunther! After that it’s going to be one of main characters’ love interests. Likely Richard.
You know, this is all right there on IMDB
Gunther 142
Jack Geller 20
Judy Geller 19
Janice 19
Mike 18
Carol 15
Emily 14
Kind of a sharp drop after Gunther. Though arguably, many of the characters in less episodes are much more ‘popular’ then Gunther. In most episodes he only has a line or two, if that.
ETA, Richard is in 9 episodes, same as Frank and Charlie (Aisha Tyler), one less episode then Estelle.
Umm,yes.Was that not a clear enough question?
Never thought to look there,thanks.
Well now that’s been answered, I have a question: When did Gunther start being in love with Rachel? I remember him being in the early episode with no mention of his feelings, and then it just sort of became an accepted fact that he was obsessed with her.
It’s not clear from IMDb how many episodes Ben Geller was in. He was played by four different child actors over the years.
Richard’s only in 9 episodes? That seems low. I guess he was referenced in others.
yes, janice and the gellar parents were my guesses before the imdb confirmation.
and david! man i loved david so much. as much as i like mike, i almost wish phoebe had chosen david in the end, he loved her so much. but then i have a soft spot for geeky awkward scientist type guys.
eta: i feel similarly about richard. i always liked him and monica as a couple. 9 episodes does seem low, but he had such a presence over the course of the show i guess it seems like he was in more.
It says he was in 11 episodes. That’s probably right - it was noteworthy how little Ross appeared to see his son.
Well, to be fair, we got to see Ross at most 22 minutes per week. One assumes he managed to squeeze in some Ben Time during the other 6 days, 23 hours, and 38 minutes.
IMDB says Marcel was only in 3 episodes.Is that right?
Yea, but he never seemed to have to consider Ben when planning what to do at the weekend, or whether he could spontaneously go on holiday, or whether his GF (or wife :D) would get on with him.
(I don’t think it was 22 minutes real-time, anyway).
Damn.
The chick and/or the duck.
Well no. It bears no relation to the established meaning of “popular.”
