Friends primarily focused on the interweaving lives of six people, but how did all the friends meet in the first place? The sitcom first aired in 1994 and released 236 episodes before concluding in 2004, and it's considered by many to be one of the best TV shows of all time — and a lot of that is due to the core cast. The six friends in the gang went through a lot over the course of the series, but they always managed to stick together. As they navigated life in New York City during their 20s and 30s, they experienced love, loss, marriage, birth, and a number of other milestones.
