If you have been following me for a while then you would know that Friends is my favorite TV show of all time. If you know me personally then you would know that I watch Friends every single day. Whether I am getting ready in the morning, eating a meal, or about to go to bed, I will turn on an episode of Friends. I may need to be on watch as Netflix gets rid of Friends in 2020…. I can’t think about the horror of it all right now. Anyway, Friends has been more than just a TV show for me, it has gotten me through the toughest and saddest of times. Days when the only thing that brought me joy was watching the beloved characters. But it has been there for me too through the happiest of days. When I am in the best of moods Rachel, Ross, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, and Chandler only elevated my happiness. Monica and Chandler will always be my favorite TV couple, Chandler will always be the perfectly-hilarious guy, Jack Geller will always be my favorite guest/supporting character, and Rachel will always be my style icon. Even though I have watched the entire series countless of times I still laugh, cry, and get angry at the same parts; it never gets old. I can’t believe Friends is celebrating 25 years. It makes me feel old but also grateful to have lived during the days when it originally aired. I loved it then and I love it even more now.
It’s hard to choose a favorite episode but here are some of my top contenders in no particular order:
The One Where Everyone Finds Out
The One Where Ross Finds Out
The One With The Prom Video
The One With The Football
The One With The Embryos
The One With The Routine
The One That Could Have Been Part 1 & 2
The One With The Proposal Parts 1 & 2
The One With Chandler and Monica’s Wedding Parts 1 & 2
The One Where Rachel Has A Baby Parts 1 & 2
The One With Ross’s Wedding Parts 1 & 2
The One In Barbados Part 1 & 2
The One With The Rumor
The One With Unagi
The One With All The Thanksgivings
The One With Rachel’s Other Sister

The One Where Ross Got High
The One With Rachel’s Assistant
The One With Joey’s New Brain
The One After Joey and Rachel Kiss
The One Where Ross Is Fine
The One With Phoebe’s Wedding
The Last One Parts 1 & 2
Besides rewatching all of the funny episodes, there are a lot of other ways to celebrate this amazing show. There is a Friends25 pop-up here in NYC that I have been dying to go to. Unfortunately right now it is sold out, but I am hoping they will keep the pop-up for longer and sell more tickets. “Friends 25th: The One With The Anniversary” will hit theaters September 23rd through October 2nd. They will show select episodes from the series for each night to watch.
Pottery Barn has released a Friends themed collection that is so cute and worth getting.
Ralph Lauren has launched a collection inspired by Rachel Green.
