One-mode undirected Friends character scene co-appearances (McNulty, 2020)

Source: R/data_fict.R

One-mode network collected by McNulty (2020) on the connections between the Friends TV series characters from Seasons 1 to 10. The series aired from 1994 to 2004, and the network was collected from the scripts of its episodes. fict_friends is an undirected network of 650 named characters (e.g. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe). Each tie joins a pair of characters that appear in the same scene, and the 'weight' of the tie is the number of scenes, across all ten seasons, in which the pair appears together.
