Take six young friends, put them in Manhattan and add a bit of coffee. And what do you get? The greatest sitcom of all time!

Friends, originally titled Insomnia Café (yes, really), is nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. It was nominated for 63 Emmys, has been watched by millions around the world and influenced twenty/thirty-somethings everywhere.

The show stars Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston): the fashionable one who ditched her fiancée at the altar. Monica Geller (Courteney Cox): the obsessive-compulsive one who was overweight at school. Ross Geller (David Schwimmer): the nerdy one who is secretly in love with Rachel but has a child by his lesbian wife. Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry): the funny one who has a fancy job but is useless with ladies. Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBLanc): the struggling actor one who loves food and girls. And Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow): the eccentric one who who plays weird songs and gives massages.

With Friends like this, who needs… well anything else?!

One of the best TV shows ever: here on Comedy Central.
