“Pivot, pivot”, “We were on a break”, “How you doin’”, and “He’s her lobster” are just some of the many memorable quotes that have come from the TV show Friends. Friends was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The show is about the everyday lives of six friends living in New York City (“Friends” tv.com). Every episode displays the characters developing as they maneuver through the obstacles that life throws at them, and how they help one another get past those obstacles. The six main characters are there to help each other grow up and become mature adults as they approach their thirties. The six main characters are Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe.

I agree with all the critics that have praised Friends for how great of a show it is. Personally, Friends is my favorite TV show, and I can always count on it for a good laugh out loud moment. There are many ways to judge whether or not Friends was as good of a show as some say. You could look at the characters, and how they all bring something different to the table.

Yes, there are some episodes and situations that you can connect with the characters from New Girl, but that doesn’t happen nearly as often as it happens when you watch Friends.
