That’s part of the continuous appeal of Friends, that its jokes still bring a chuckle, its more heartfelt moments still strike an emotional chord, and the series is always an engaging, entertaining watch all of these years later.įew shows have the ten-season run that Friends had, and even for those shows that did manage to have as many seasons as Friends, chances are the quality of what was on offer didn’t come anywhere even close to consistently matching what Friends was delivering on an episodic basis.

And the best part is, it’s extremely hard not to just drop everything you’re doing and immediately revisit the antics of Central Perk and beyond when finding one of the show’s 236 episodes airing for the millionth time. Barely a day goes by where a quick flick through the TV channels or your streaming service of choice doesn’t result in finding re-runs of Friends airing time and time again. It’s now nearly 17 years since Friends aired its final ever episode, yet the David Crane and Marta Kauffman-created offering still remains ludicrously popular across the globe. Not only is Friends an all-time great sitcom series, it’s one of the very best shows in the history of television, period.
