Friends - Season 10 kicks off where it ended in the previous season with all the friends plus Monica and Chandler';s new babies leaving the apartment, heading to Central Perk for a final cup of coffee.
The show never rose above its artificial, formulaic roots - characters assembled straight from the sitcom-writer's handbook, jokes delivered with mechanical predictability at the network-mandated rate of three per page.
Season ten actually gets a pretty hard time, but while the stars do sort of become caricatures, there's still so much to love about it: after all, she got off the plane.
Even the kiss that cemented Ross and Rachel couldn't disguise the show's larger anti-climax, a cop-out from the logical conclusions of the show's premise, conclusions it began to acknowledge only to ultimately deny their existence.
Starting a TV show is hard. Ending one of the most beloved series of all time in a satisfactory manner? Almost impossible, yet Friends pulled it off here.
