Friends was a game changer for sitcoms in the 90s. After the series was released, many sitcoms attempted to become the next incarnation by focusing on a group of friends and the problems that they faced daily (shows like The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother are good examples). However, while some of them are better in some aspects, leading to having a pretty big fanbase, none of them will be as popular nor they’ll have as much impact as Friends did when it came out.
One of the things that made the show so popular was the fact that in every episode of the series they faced different problems that many of us faced when we were that age. It was really nice to see a series that showed normal people having different problems. In a way, it proved that we weren’t alone in life and with enough patience and hard work we could achieve our dreams.
However, it was just a show in the end, and soon we learned that life wasn’t easy. Granted some things are really good when you’re on your early 20′s, but most of it it’s just hard work as you try to become a much more responsible adult. And while the show sometimes showed them facing real problems, it wasn’t in a very realistic way. Here are 7 examples of it.
