Three weeks ago we were stunned to find that TV sitcom Friends was celebrating 20 years since its first show. 20 YEARS! Where did that go?
The show took to the air for the first time on September 22nd 1994 and went on to enjoy 10 seasons before concluding on May 6th 2004 – with 236 episodes under its belt.
It gave us the ‘Rachel’ haircut. It taught us that you never invite your ex to your wedding. That you pee on yourself when you get stung by a jellyfish. That you should measure your new sofa before bringing it home. That it's never wise to wear leather trousers on a first date.
Repeats are shown continuously on Comedy Central. However, yesterday it was announced that Netflix has secured a deal with Warner Bros that will see all 10 seasons of Friends coming to the service.
The hit sitcom will arrive on Netflix on January 1st 2015. Unfortunately for fans in the UK and Ireland, the 236 episodes will initially only be available in the US and Canada. Back to Comedy Central for the moment…
