“LOOK AROUND, you guys,” says Chandler Bing to his newly adopted twins, as his friends and family leave his apartment for the last time. “This was your first home. And it was a happy place, filled with love and laughter. But more important, because of rent control, it was a friggin’ steal!” The Bing twins would be 15 now, and September 22nd marks a quarter of a century since the “Friends” gang made their debut on NBC.
What has made the popularity of “Friends” so long-lasting? The show is certainly funny, but no more so than its rivals.
