Twenty years ago this Monday, NBC aired a new sitcom about a group of friends in their twenties living in New York City. On September 22, 1994, Rachel Green ran into Central Perk in her wedding dress and found Monica, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe, and Joey gathered around the iconic orange couch. And so Friends began. Most of us grew up watching the gang fumble through their twenties and thirties, laughing along with them as they struggled with work, family, and their love lives for ten memorable seasons. In celebration of 20 years of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, we've gathered 20 moments from Friends that will always be there for us.
