  "account": "In 1995, Jennifer Aniston made a guest appearance on the Fox sitcom Partners in an episode titled Follow the Clams?. The 22-episode series starred Jon Cryer and Tate Donovan as best friends working as architects in San Francisco. Aniston played Suzanne, a CPA who starts dating Cryer's character, Bob. Despite her status as a star of the popular sitcom Friends at the time, Aniston only appeared in one episode of Partners. This is notable given that Friends and Partners were competitors, with Friends ranking higher in viewership. Aniston was able to film the episode due to a scheduling conflict in Friends and because she was dating one of the stars, Tate Donovan. After one season, Partners was cancelled while Friends went on to run for 10 seasons.",
