About this episode

This year marks 30 years since Friends debuted on NBC and changed the face of television.

Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey quickly became a cultural phenomenon as millions of viewers tuned in each week to watch them navigate that time in your life when your friends are your family.

This week we revisit an episode from 2019 which took a deep dive into the making of the iconic sitcom and tries to answer the question why Friends continues to endure, despite some of its obvious flaws.
