About
As of 2026, it's 32 years old.
Friends followed six absurdly attractive twentysomethings who somehow afforded enormous Manhattan apartments on the salaries of a waitress and a paleontologist, and it became the defining sitcom of its generation anyway. The hangout-comedy template, the haircut everyone copied ('The Rachel'), the will-they-won't-they — it set the mold.
Endlessly rerun and beloved by people who weren't even born when it ended, it remains a comfort-watch juggernaut decades later.
Cozy, quotable, and impossibly enduring, Friends is the show whose New York rents made no sense and whose grip on pop culture never loosened.
