Friends may be loved, but these other sitcoms are actually better. It’s hard to deny the place the ’90s series occupies in popular culture. The iconic «Pivot!» line by Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and the quirks of the hilarious Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) are unforgettable. Whether we need to cheer up or rewatch a favorite episode, it’s great to revisit most of the show.
Puma City (2009-2015)
Puma City may have a silly title, but despite the clichéd stereotype of a sexually active older woman, the ABC/TBS comedy is a true exploration of life at 40. Above all, it’s a more honest look at the complexities of dating than Friends.
While Rachel Green and her friends go on awkward first dates or have longer relationships, these stories are played for laughs and we don’t always feel genuine emotions. For example, Chandler Bing’s long-term romance with Janice is mostly about finding her irritating and struggling to end things.
Jules Cobb’s relationship with Grayson Ellis, on the other hand, is touching and realistic. When she gathers everyone for Thanksgiving and waits for him to say he loves her, it’s a relatable story, even if we know she’s not handling it well.
Happy Endings (2011-2013)
Happy Endings has a fascinating premise, but it sometimes gets lost because it didn’t have the same impact on pop culture as other buddy comedies. After Alex breaks up with Dave on their wedding day, the group of friends has to adjust, resulting in a fun and sweet story.
Penny’s character shines in Happy Endings. Thanks to a strong performance by Casey Wilson, Penny is a quirkier member of the friend group, akin to the sometimes frustrating Phoebe but more honest and entertaining. Watching Penny navigate her messy life while dishing out advice adds depth to the show.
Will and Grace (1998-2006)
Friends explores the close friendship between the main characters, but there’s something special about the bond at the heart of Will and Grace. While Friends delves into romantic tensions and complicated relationships, Will and Grace offers a more touching depiction of long-term friendship, complete with arguments and imperfections.
Season 2 of Will and Grace is a compelling look at what it means to be a significant part of someone’s life, showcasing the ups and downs of a compassionate friendship where mistakes are made but lessons are learned.
Whether Grace Adler and Will Truman are navigating friendships or making mistakes, Will and Grace provides a full picture of a long-lasting bond that feels authentic and relatable.
Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 (2012-2013)
Watching Rachel and Monica Geller live together in Friends is fun, but the unrealistic size of their apartment and their ability to afford New York City’s high rent can be distracting. Don’t Trust The B—- in Apartment 23, on the other hand, tells a better roommate story while capturing the anxieties of youth.
When ambitious June Colburn starts living with confident and chaotic Chloe, it’s intriguing to see how their opposite personalities complement each other. June’s struggles to navigate her career and fears about paying the rent add depth to the show.
James Van Der Beek’s portrayal of himself in a more intense version adds a fun and memorable element that sets the show apart from other New York-based comedies.
Mad About You (1992-1999)
Friends may be loved, but these other sitcoms are actually better. It’s hard to deny the place the ’90s series occupies in popular culture.
