It is a universal truth the the show Friends was one of the best sitcoms ever produced. Friends is an American television sitcom that was created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The show originally aired on NBC on September 22, 1994. The show lasted ten seasons and unfortunately ended on May 6, 2004. The plot line follows the knee-slapping adventures of six friends living in Manhattan.
One of the main reasons Friends was such a hit when it aired were the relatable characters. The viewers are relate to all of the characters in some way, as each character has their own entertaining moments that are unforgettable. The characters in the show are given the appearance of ordinary people who are going through everyday life struggles, similar to most viewers.
Another argument that can be made to support the claim that Friends was one of the best sitcoms is the real progression that the show creates. The characters appeared so real in which they progressed throughout the seasons. As a viewer, I feel as if I had made personal connections to the characters, almost as if we had grown up together. The fact that love was found between the piers is a fairly common situation, this added to the natural feel that the show emitted.
The last argument that I have for why I believe that Friends was one of the best sitcoms is the use of real life issues. Throughout the show, the characters experienced real life issues that normal everyday people experience. Friends was one of the first shows to touch on serious and real life issues. Each episode displayed drama amongst the friends, and even drama among an individual character. While watching the program, I was able to translate some of the conflicts occurring in the shows and relate the issues to my life. As a viewer, it was nice to be reassured that I was not not the only person who was experiencing conflicts and going through crises.
