It started in 1994, technically ended in 2004 and now after almost 11 years we still have sitcoms trying to reach the F.R.I.E.N.D.S mark. The loyal fans till date swear that no other Sitcom can ever have the healing effect and no other gang on TV can make you smile the way those six can.To introduce the gang we have a stupid yet warmhearted Casanova, Joey Tribbiani. Next is mother hen of the gang, Monica Gellar-Bing with the highest level of Obsessive compulsive disorder. Sarcasm and intimacy issue are the deals of Chandler Bing. Rachel Green is Materialistic and ballsy, Dr Ross Gellar is the brainy one but is the guy with heart of gold. And lastly the Craziness. weirdness and strength of Phoebe Buffey completes the picture . For those who haven’t seen the show yet, this article may sound vague but for the fans, every reference will evoke a memory.
Feeling nostalgic? We’re just getting started, as we’ve rounded up our 10 favourite things about the show.
1. Central Perk
There’s never been a cosier sitcom hangout. Plus, who could dispute having a convenient regular set of sofas constantly free for you and your friends?

2. ‘How you doin’?
Joey’s infamous pick-up line has never lost its comedic value.
3. Phalange. Unagi. Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.
For the priceless one-liners, to the additions to our vocabulary that are completely senseless. Mostly courtesy of Phoebe.
4. Supporting cast
There were so many additional characters that we learned to love. For example: Ugly Naked Guy, the neighbour. Gunther and his crazy love for Rachel. Even Janice. Yep right!
5. The amazing guest appearances.
Over the duration of the show, we were shown cameos from the likes of Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Elle Macpherson, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon, Bruce Willis, Winona Ryder, Susan Sarandon, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Saunders, and so many more. They all added the episodes even more priceless and funny!
6. 'Welcome to the real world. It sucks, you're going to love it.'
The series focuses on the troubles that will come with life.The transition with every relationships be it love or family or friends or roommates or bosses life is shown throwing punches left right and center. The adorable thing here is that the gang doesn’t stand tall always, they take the punches, fall down, pull each other up and dust themselves ready for life again.

7. It's funny and will cheer you up even when you're going through the worst times.
Some of the one liners are “You can’t just give up. Is that what a dinosaur would do?” , “You don’t own a TV? What’s all your furniture pointed at?”,” Aahh. Unagi.– ‘Aahh. Salmon Skin Roll.” But it hurts my Joey’s Apple. The “how you doin” “We were on a Break” and “Oh.. my…Gwaad” are trademarked to Joey, Ross and Janice. If you know what all these mean, you are a true FRIENDS fan!

8. The Weird physical transformations
Joey’s eyebrows. Ross’ infamous spray tan. Monica’s cornrows. Again Ross's white teeth. We could go on.

FRIENDS has been a deeply loved experience with a loyal following till date. The odd mix is surely not the coolest people of New-York but they raised a whole lot of hell in the 10 years. And that is why we still love them.
