The One Where They're Finally On Netflix

The One Where They're Finally On Netflix

It's happened. Finally. Friends is back. It's on Netflix: all of the complete episodes, all ten seasons.   

The show may have premiered when I was one, but it is still, without a doubt, one of the best sitcoms ever made; and the fact that it is still hilarious twenty years later only proves it even more.   

So in honor of being able to watch Friends whenever we want, I have put together ten of the best episodes for you to go back and watch, one from each season. Of course, these are some of the most difficult judgment calls I've ever had to make; so to be safe, I would just go back and watch the entire show from the beginning. You wouldn't want to miss a moment of Friends perfection.   

Warning: Significant spoilers below. But if you don't know how Friends ends, seriously — you need to watch this show.


Season One: The One with All the Poker 

This, like pretty much all of these episodes, is a Friends classic. The girls feel left out so they try to join the guys for poker night. This episode has some great one-liners, and some great moments of the friends being, well, friends.  
Season Two: The One with the Prom Video      

This episode has it all: classic lines ("He's her lobster!"), some awesome 80's flashbacks, and, of course, one of the best Ross and Rachel moments. You can't get much better. 


Season Three: The One with the Football  

Friends does Thanksgiving episodes well, but this is one of the best. It's one of those great Friends episodes that isn't about progressing the plot or creating some sort of drama: it's just six friends, playing football on Thanksgiving and being hilarious. 


Season Four: The One with the Jellyfish      

Another classic. There are some great Ross and Rachel moments ("We were on a break!"), Phoebe's family story gets a little more complicated, but most of all, Joey, Chandler, and Monica show just how close their friendship is. If nothing else, at least watch the epic scene where they tell the story of the jellyfish.


Season Five: The One with All the Thanksgivings  

This episode isn't shown on TV quite as often, which makes it all the more exciting that you can now watch it on Netflix. Everyone relates stories of past Thanksgivings, giving us some more of those great 80's flashbacks, some awesome fat Monica scenes, and some random Civil War memories from Phoebe because, well, it's Phoebe. 


Season Six: The One with Unagi   

This may not be one of the most discussed Friends episodes, but it is certainly one of my favorites. The fight between Ross and Phoebe and Rachel just shows everything that is awesome about Friends


Season Seven: The One with the Holiday Armadillo 

Nothing says "holiday season" quite like the Holiday Armadillo. Plus, Phoebe tries to drive a wedge between Joey and Rachel so that Rachel moves back in with her. There's drumsets, there's tarantulas, and there's some great Phoebe moments. 


Season Eight: The One with the Video Tape   

Between the fake names, the video tape flashbacks, and Joey's story, all of the plots lines just come together perfectly in this episode with one of the best punchlines of all time. And Rachel's pregnant, so that is always exciting. 


Season Nine: The One with the Lottery

Just like "The One with All the Poker," this episode is another great one where all of the friends are just the friends. They all pool together money to buy some lottery tickets, and then a pigeon ruins it all. 


Season Ten: The Last One

No list of Friends episodes would be complete without one of the best finales on television. Fans really couldn't ask for a better end to such an amazing series. You know that all of the characters are going to be okay; they're moving on, but in the best way possible. Plus, nothing like an epic Ross and Rachel scene to wrap everything up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
