Friends
Spacious New York apartments, endless coffee at Central Perk, and a friend group so iconic they basically defined a generation — Friends wasn’t just a sitcom, it was the cultural blueprint of the ’90s and early 2000s. Airing from 1994 to 2004, the show gave us unforgettable moments: Ross and Rachel’s rollercoaster romance, Monica and Chandler’s surprise — and totally perfect — love story, Joey’s legendary “How you doin’?”, and Phoebe’s offbeat brilliance (hello, “Smelly Cat”).
The chemistry between Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow turned six actors into global superstars — by the final season, each was earning US$1 million per episode. The finale? Watched by over 52 million people. And decades on, Friends still lives rent-free in the hearts (and watchlists) of fans old and new, proving some friendships really are forever.
