Friends reunion: Friends is having a reunion, but which are the sitcom's highest rated episodes?
Tomorrow the first Friends reunion since the show ended in 2004 is set to air. Even if you're part of the group of people that hates Friends, and thinks it's not funny, it's hard not to be impressed by the cultural impact a single TV show has had.
So sure of its continuing longevity, executives at HBO Max were willing to shell out $85m per year for the streaming rights to Friends, more than 15 years since the show ended. The show has even found a fanbase among Gen-Z, who usually aren't a fan of millennial (or older) culture.
So, if you are a Friends fan who wants to re-watch a few episodes before the reunion tomorrow we've dug out one of the earliest charts we ever made, plotting the IMDB rating of every single episode of Friends to find you the highest rated episode.
If you want to remember how it all ended you can watch the obvious choice which would be the finale, "The Last One", which notches up a 9.7 out of 10 on IMDB. Another good option is to go back to season 5 episode 14 and watch "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" — a classic in which Chandler and Monica's relationship is revealed. The reality though is that if you plucked for any random episode you'll probably be fairly happy, the lowest rated episode is a 7.3 / 10 on IMDB — a testament to how consistently Friends delivered for its fans.
