Pick Your Favorite FRIENDS Characters And We'll Rate How Boring You Are!

Friends, or F•R•I•E•N•D•S as it's often stylized, was many television viewers' weekly companion for ten eventful seasons and ten long years from 1994 to 2004. Throughout the sitcom's run, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry), and Ross (David Schwimmer) tickled audiences with all sorts of hilarious situations, such as Rachel desperately looking for jobs, Joey auditioning for pathetic roles, and Phoebe dealing with her evil twin sister. And America lapped it all up, viewers consistently rewarding the series with high ratings and critics repeatedly bestowing the show with accolades. More specifically, all ten seasons of the show finished inside the top 10 of the season-ending television ratings, and the series was nominated for a total of 62 Emmys, winning 6.

What made Friends so popular, though? As sitcoms usually go, the characters on the show had no singular problem that they were trying to address. In fact, most of the issues that they were made to deal with were shallow and ridiculous. Of course, that's not to say that the show was bad -- not at all. It was actually the show's characters themselves who made Friends such an entertaining watch. And with ten seasons in total, the series had a lot of characters, although, as expected, these characters weren't equally entertaining or likable.
