10 'Friends' Thanksgiving Episodes, Ranked For Your Holiday Viewing Pleasure

There are millions of TV-shows, and still, after all these years - nothing can beat 'Friends.' This sitcom is the ultimate example that goes against the tooth of time.

The humor, the little everyday dramas that everyone has at some point in life, the friendships that stay true against all odds - it's something that only a true evergreen can offer.

One could just try not to relate to the things they go through all ten seasons of the show.
