Resumo

O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar a receção da sitcom televisiva americana Friends em Portugal, comparando as Gerações X, Y e Z. A análise centra-se nas diferenças geracionais na receção e nas gratificações adquiridas relativamente a uma sitcom que alcançou uma influência e uma longevidade que vai muito para além das suas dez temporadas. Adotando uma abordagem quantitativa, os dados foram recolhidos através de um inquérito, com uma amostra de 608 inquiridos das Gerações X, Y e Z. Foi possível analisar as diferenças na forma como as três gerações dão sentido a este conteúdo mediático, confirmando que buscam gratificações distintas e desenvolvem diferentes conexões de identificação e empatia com os personagens. Os resultados mostram, assim, o impacto de uma sitcom originalmente produzida há mais de vinte anos, que não apenas transcende gerações, mas também as impacta de forma diferente.
