How the Friends show paved way for real-life friendships

Live Mint  

The stars of "Friends" never really left us. But filming was delayed by the pandemic, with producers determined to bring the gang back in-person to iconic sets like the "Central Perk" cafe at the show's original studio outside Los Angeles. "The One Where They Get Back Together" airs 17 years after the show's finale drew more than 50 million viewers, each desperate to find out whether on-again-off-again Ross and Rachel would end up back together Thanks to re-runs and now streaming, the show's appeal has crossed generations, with viewers too young to remember its original run still quoting catchphrases like "We were on a break," "How you doin'?" Like Frasier and Seinfeld, Friends is one of "maybe four or five American sitcoms" from the "last real golden age of broadcast" with truly expansive appeal, in contrast to today's "fractured" TV marketplace, he added. "Friends has been everything to me," said fan Joyce Blackwell, gathered outside the show's famous Manhattan apartment building this week, ahead of the special.
