The series, created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane, about a close group of friends living in New York City was an instant success when it premiered in 1994.

Since then, Friends has remained a cult classic, even after coming to an end in 2004.

Despite the sitcom being so popular with many, there has been a lot of criticism throughout the years of the show’s lack of diversity, and now one of the stars has spoken out.

It's been 14 years since Series 1 aired. A generation of viewers has grown up, had children, lost people, changed careers — and still come back. Why? One actor said something about it that nobody has repeated enough.

He improvised one line. It wasn't in the script. It wasn't planned. The other actor heard it and — for three seconds — forgot they were acting. Those three seconds are why the scene became the most discussed of the entire series.

Holmes and Watson never said it directly. The show never confirmed it. But one scene — 47 seconds long — has been watched over 50 million times across platforms. That number is its own kind of answer.

Season 1 changed television. Season 2 broke the internet. Season 3 made people angry in the best possible way. And Season 4 — whatever you think of it — did something that no finale before it had ever done. Here is what each season actually gave us that we have never given it credit for.
