Though many of Friends' worst episodes are still incredibly entertaining, others scrape the bottom of the barrel. Tomatometer 0 Reviews Episode Info Fran (Fran Drescher), suffering from intense mood swings, becomes convinced that Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy) is having an affair. Whether it's because some are simply lacking in the laughs, not having engaging storylines, or because they've aged poorly, casting a critical eye on the untouchable series is long overdue. While the show has become a classic that doesn't mean it's perfect. As loved as the characters are, with over 200 episodes, several episodes didn't land half as well as they could have. However, there have still been some dull moments featuring Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Ross. The success of Friends is proven by its ten-year run, followed by new generations binge-watching the series on Netflix, not to mention HBO's Friends reunion hosted by James Corden in 2022. With witty characters and envious shenanigans, complete with titillating love stories that just warm your heart, Friends is one of the biggest shows ever, and it only hasn't ever dipped in popularity thanks to streaming syndication. It's hard not to enjoy Friends, as the feel-good sitcom always lifts audiences' spirits, but that makes it easy to forget the worst episodes of Friends.
