‘Friends’ 30th Anniversary Celebrated by Max With Curated “Best of” Collections

As a gamer with a heart of gold and a soft spot for the ’90s sitcoms, I can’t help but feel a mix of joy and melancholy as I anticipate the 30th anniversary of Friends. Growing up with this iconic show, it feels like reuniting with old friends (pun intended), reminiscing about those unforgettable moments that made us laugh, cry, and everything in between.

Oh… my… God!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Friends this coming Sunday, Max has prepared a special selection of episodes from the series’ 10-year span for viewers looking to revisit their favorite shows.

Here are the rephrased versions of each item:

The anniversary event will feature three separate segments showcasing interviews with the creative team behind the show: “Friends From the Beginning,” delving into the origins, creation process, and hurdles faced during early production; “Friends Turned Family,” examining the inspiration and evolution of some of the series’ most notable scenes; and “The Impact of Friends,” covering its conclusion, continued cultural impact, and lasting imprint.

The anniversary of the show is a thrilling moment for its fans, yet it carries a touch of melancholy as it arrives nearly a year after Matthew Perry’s passing. Known for his role as Chandler, he shared the screen with Courteney Cox (Monica), Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), David Schwimmer (Ross), and Matt LeBlanc (Joey).

Before the Friends anniversary arrives this Sunday, creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, along with executive producer Kevin S. Bright, recently discussed with the Today show how the sad passing of a cast member due to complications with anesthetic ketamine has unfortunately tainted what would otherwise be a joyous occasion.

Kauffman expressed that it’s a significant loss and the 30th now feels somewhat challenging,” he said in the interview. Additionally, Bright mentioned that he brought laughter to our lives each day.
