The iconic sitcom Friends left an indelible impression on pop culture and television history, especially for those viewers who grew up virtually alongside the show’s six main characters — Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross — from their mid-20s to mid-30s throughout the show’s run, which began in 1994 and ended in 2004 after 10 seasons.
