The show today is still considered one of the most popular shows of all time despite the last new episode airing over almost fifteen years ago. The show still airs on networks like TBS and Nickelodeon, and all episodes are currently available for streaming on Netflix. So, even if a person didn't grow up watching Friends, it's still possible to catch up on all ten seasons.
All we are saying is that only a 90s kid can pass this Friends quiz. There is nothing like waiting for the next episode of a favorite show to air. This was back before TiVo and Smart TVs, so if the original air time was missed, a person would have to look in the *gasp* TV Guide to find the next airtime.
