The Friends Series is one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. The show was released back in 1994 and has remained in our hearts ever since. However, it doesn’t stay alive just in our hearts; the show is still airing. It’s actually funny how such an old show is still very popular. However, it is true, and even Google recognizes it. Try googling the cast characters and see Google’s small animation.
The story follows a group of six friends living in the city. It is a story full of plots and twists, from romantic relationships to drama and daily struggles. The unique personality of the characters is what attracts the audience the most. The whole show is packed with Chandler’s sarcastic remarks and the jokes of the other members. I guess people also fell in love with how relatable the show is.
Friends is the perfect romantic comedy to watch every day. David Crane, Marta Kauffman, Scott Silveri, Jeff Greenstein, and Alexa Junge wrote the series. The show rates 8.9/10 on IMDb, which is high for this type of show. James Burrows, Gary Halvorson, Kevin Bright, Michael Lembeck, and Ben Weiss directed it.
The Friends sitcom has 10 Seasons and 236 episodes in total. You can watch it on Direct TV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. Not to say, it received 62 nominations for Primetime Emmys and won the Outstanding Comedy Series back in 2002. The Friends series is very loved around the world, and critics gave positive reviews.
