Rachel Green
After their short - lived television series Family Album was canceled , television writers David Crane and Marta Kauffman pitched Friends to then - NBC president Warren Littlefield as a sitcom about `` that special time in your life when your friends are your family , '' basing the show on their own experiences as young people living in New York ; the main characters themselves were inspired by their own friends . Conceived as a young woman who is unprepared for adulthood , the character Rachel Green was originally named Rachel Robbins . Although critics and audiences initially perceived Monica as the show 's main character when Friends premiered , the writers had actually given Rachel the pilot 's most prominent storyline . Before deciding that Rachel and Ross would be an item for the entire series , the writers had originally intended for the show 's defining couple to be Joey and Monica . However , after the success of the pilot , in which Rachel and Ross ' developing romance is first hinted at , and witnessing Aniston and co-star David Schwimmer 's on - screen chemistry for the first time , Crane and Kauffman determined that the entire series relied on `` finding all the wonderful roadblocks for them to be with each other . ''

Monty Python's Life of Brian
Writing began in December 1976 , with a first draft completed by mid-1977 . The final pre-production draft was ready in January 1978 , following `` a concentrated two - week writing and water - skiing period in Barbados '' . The film would not have been made without Python fan former Beatle George Harrison , who set up HandMade Films to help fund it at a cost of £ 3 million . Harrison put up the money for it as he `` wanted to see the movie '' ( this was later described by Terry Jones as the `` world 's most expensive cinema ticket '' ) . The original backers , EMI Films , had been scared off at the last minute by the subject matter , particularly Bernard Delfont . The very last words in the film are : `` I said to him , ' Bernie , they 'll never make their money back on this one ' '' , teasing Delfont for his lack of faith in the project . Terry Gilliam later said , `` They pulled out on the Thursday . The crew was supposed to be leaving on the Saturday . Disastrous . It was because they read the script ... finally . '' As a reward for his help , Harrison appears in a cameo appearance as Mr. Papadopoulos , `` owner of the Mount '' , who briefly shakes hands with Brian in a crowd scene ( at 1 : 09 in the film ) . His one word of dialogue ( a cheery but out of place Scouse `` ' ullo '' ) had to be dubbed in later .

After having guested on Burnett 's highly successful CBS - TV special Carol + 2 and having the younger performer reciprocate by appearing on The Lucy Show , Ball reportedly offered Burnett her own sitcom called Here 's Agnes , to be produced by Desilu Productions .

Friends
David Crane and Marta Kauffman began developing three new television pilots that would premiere in 1994 after their sitcom Family Album was cancelled by CBS in 1993 . Kauffman and Crane decided to pitch the series about `` six people in their 20s making their way in Manhattan '' to NBC since they thought it would fit best there . Crane and Kauffman presented the idea to their production partner Kevin Bright , who had served as executive producer on their HBO series Dream On . The idea for the series was conceived when Crane and Kauffman began thinking about the time when they had finished college and started living by themselves in New York ; Kauffman believed they were looking at a time when the future was `` more of a question mark . '' They found the concept to be interesting , as they believed `` everybody knows that feeling '' , and because it was also how they felt about their own lives at the time . The team titled the series Insomnia Cafe and pitched the idea as a seven - page treatment to NBC in December 1993 .

Michael J. Fox
In January 1985 , Fox was cast to replace Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly , a teenager who is accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955 in Back to the Future . Robert Zemeckis , the director , originally wanted Fox to play Marty , but Gary David Goldberg the creator of Family Ties , which Fox was working on at the time , refused to allow Zemeckis even to approach Fox as he felt that as Meredith Baxter was on maternity leave at the time , Fox 's character Alex Keaton was needed to carry the show in her absence . Eric Stoltz was cast and was already filming Back to the Future , but Zemeckis felt that Stoltz was not giving the right type of performance for the humor involved . Zemeckis quickly replaced Stoltz with Fox , whose schedule was now more open with the return of Meredith Baxter . He was considered for the role of Mark Kendall in Once Bitten , but it eventually went to Jim Carrey . During filming , Fox would rehearse for Family Ties from 10 a.m to 6 p.m , then rush to the Back to the Future set where he would rehearse and shoot until 2 : 30 a.m. This schedule lasted for two full months . Back to the Future was both a commercial and critical success . The film spent 8 consecutive weekends as the number - one grossing movie at the US box office in 1985 and eventually earned a worldwide total of $381.11 million . Variety applauded the performances , stating that Fox and his co-star Christopher Lloyd imbued Marty and Doc Brown 's friendship with a quality reminiscent of King Arthur and Merlin . The film was later followed by two similarly - successful sequels , Back to the Future Part II ( 1989 ) and Back to the Future Part III ( 1990 ) . Fox
