One of the most iconic shows which stole our hearts with an array of lovable characters, F.R.I.E.N.D.S is one of the most binge worthy shows you can watch. With its casual and charming setting of the quintessential coffee house, Central Perk, to the weird and quirky personalities of its characters. It was bound to create some magical moments and some hilarious pop-culture references.

With Joey's ,"How you doin?", Phoebe and Rachel's ,"They don't know that we know they know we know", to even Janice's, "Oh. My. God!", the show is a classic. There are a lot of episodes to pick from but I love the show so much that I can watch it without going "on a break". These episodes are some of my favourites but only from the first half of the series or else the list would have gotten too long.

1. The One with the Baby on the Bus. (Season 2 Episode 6)

Ben, Ross' new born baby, is taken into custody by Joey and Chandler after they realise that the baby would gain them a whole a lot of affection and attention. They attempt to take care of the baby for a day hoping to get some action and in perfect manner, lose the baby on the bus that they're travelling on. Hilarity ensues as they start freaking out and begin an expedition to find the lost child.

2. The One with the Prom video. (Season 2 Episode 14)

One of the initial flashback episodes of the series, we encounter our beloved Ross, fat Monica and Rachel with her old nose. Rachel ends up being stood up by her prom date and Ross swoops in to save the day. He even dresses up and gets her flowers but sadly, he doesn't get the chance to take her to prom. Despite all that, the episode finally introduces us to 'Ross and Rachel' and the cult classic reference given by Phoebe that "he's her lobster".

3. The One where No one's ready. (Season 3 Episode 2)

Ross tries to gather everybody so they could leave for the event happening at the museum and fails miserably. Except for Phoebe, no one is ready. Rachel can't decide what to wear which leads to a dispute between the two and the ultimate bros, Joey and Chandler, end up fighting over who gets to sit in the comfortable chair. Chaos ensues and Joey turns out a fabulous look.

4. The One with Ross' Wedding. (Part 2) (Season 4 Episode 24)

After the failed attempt at a relationship, Ross and Rachel decide to go their separate ways. (Spoiler alert but not really) Ross' wedding takes place in London with Emily and Rachel, who still loves Ross, rushes over to London and despite Phoebe's warning, none of the other friends are able to stop her from crashing the wedding. But in an odd twist of events, Ross ends up saying Rachel's name at the altar instead of Emily's. This is also the episode where we are introduced to the other iconic couple of the series, Chandler and Monica.

5. The One with Thanksgiving. (Season 5 Episode 8)

Last but in no way, the least, 'the one with the Thanksgiving' where they all sit and recall their worst Thanksgiving experiences. Chandler, in an attempt to prove that his past experiences are the worst, uncloses a forgotten secret. In a Thanksgiving hosted at the Geller's house, Chandler and Monica meet in their teenage years. Chandler upsets her by calling her fat and she takes her revenge by accidentally cutting off his toe. This is also the episode where Chandler confesses that he loves Monica which is such a heartwarming moment.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S paved the way for other sitcom shows with its multiple storylines and no overbearing of particular characters. The show is extremely loved as people still go crazy for it.
