The calendar isn’t lying: it really has been 20 years since Friends ended. Debuting in 1994, Friends owned the TV landscape for a decade on NBC, before coming to an end with “The Last One – Parts One & Two” on May 6, 2004. Few TV shows before or since have enjoyed the sheer cultural dominance that the sitcom did, which also meant its ending was one of the most pressured in TV history.
