Friends is one of the greatest TV shows of all time, but it only granted one of its main characters his own spinoff show, which only confirmed a harsh reality about the character and the original show. The 1990s saw a peak in sitcoms, with many of them earning a place in TV history and being named as some of the best TV shows of all time, as is the case with Friends. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994 and ran for 10 successful seasons, ending in 2004 after breaking various records.
