MISTAKES/GOOFS
- CONT: In the pilot episode, Chandler and Joey's apartment number is #4 while Monica and Rachel's is #5. Starting with this, the second episode, the numbers change to #19 and #20.
- CONT: In the pilot while Rachel is on the phone, apologizing to the guy she left at the Altar, she says his name is Barry Finkel but in later episodes it is changed to Barry Farber.
- CONT: In the pilot episode after Rachel runs into the café, Monica introduces her to Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe and says "Remember my brother Ross?". In later episodes it shows flashbacks that Chandler was at Monica's house while Rachel was there, so Rachel should have remembered Chandler when she got to the café, instead of being introduced for the first time there.
- CONT: Joey's wristwatch appears and disappears during the whole episode.
TRIVIA

- According to the producers, a questionnaire regarding Monica's promiscuity was passed out at the taping of "The Pilot" at the request of NBC. Apparently NBC considered Monica a slut for sleeping with Paul the Wine Guy on their first date.
- The Spanish-language soap opera that the friends watch at Monica's apartment is the very successful "Tres destinos" (1993). The lady that doesn't seem to be too happy about the pipe organ is Puerto Rican actress 'Angela Meyer'.
