Ross, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey are all characters that we know and love deeply thanks in no small part to the show’s excellent dialogue and Friends TV show quotes that we all grew to love. The sitcom captured a moment in American culture when we all realized that friends are family and family is what you make it. Friends was a sitcom that aired for a decade from 1994-2004. The show was not only a ratings success, but it also had a huge cultural impact.
