The one with ...

What made me happy today? The one with ...
I'm currently re-watching Friends. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I love to unwind with a few episodes after work!
The best part is how the episodes' names often start as 'the one with', and almost all start with 'the one'. The notable exceptions to this are: 'the pilot', which is the first episode; and 'the last one', which is the last episode. This was done because the title of the episode would not be shown during the opening sequence, and thus would remain unknown to the public. So the writers came up with the whole 'the one' concept as they felt this would be the way the audience would describe the episodes. Like: 'Did you see that episode of Friends last night?' 'Which one?' 'The one with/where ...'
Plus, the show had a great set of guest stars, like Brad Pitt, Christina Applegate and Tom Selleck. And the main cast was perfect. They all became friends in real life :-)
So grab a cup of coffee, and join them in Central Perk!
