Switching on the TV and watching an old episode of a show comes pretty naturally to most of us. Even though you know exactly when the punchlines are, it doesn\u2019t take away from your enjoyment of the show. Even with older shows on streaming services, there\u2019s a comfortable familiarity with long-ended shows that we keep flocking to.<\/p>\n
Is our familiarity turning into something of an obsession? Considering the schedules of Britain\u2019s most loved channels as well as the likes of Netflix, we think it\u2019s clear to say we are too well acquainted with the ghosts of TV past.<\/p>\n
The cultural impact of the TV show Friends<\/em> has stretched far beyond even the wildest imaginations and catapulted the careers of the six main members of the cast. Although viewing figures have not been unveiled by Netflix, who have had the rights to the show since 2018, a survey<\/a> has shown that it is the most popular show amongst those who subscribe to the service.<\/p>\n Panic set in as users believed the show was due to end its run on Netflix on January 1st<\/sup>, 2019 which the company shot down as untrue. As Warner Bros are planning on bringing their own streaming service into the fold, the partnership between Friends<\/em> and Netflix was doomed to end \u201d\u201c not just yet, as again confirmed by the company.<\/p>\n
