Just make the next great TV show about friends instead.
But what TV networks and executives fail to understand is thatFriendsdidnt invent some revolutionary new concept for TV.

They were all connected in some way but werent a real friend group.
This isnt a groundbreaking idea its just life.
Again, this isnt some revolutionary idea.
The jokes, plot, and relationships worked onFriendsbecause the writing was absolutely, undeniably stellar.
And all the best comedies that have debuted in the wake ofFriendssucceeded for that same reason.
Sure, they were all half-hour comedies that were about a group of friends.
charted a new path on TV afterFriends.
Instead of trying to imitate a proven successful formula, they took risks and did something different.
And those risks paid off.
Try new ideas instead of rehashing the same one over and over again.
Just make the next great TV showaboutfriends, whatever that may look like.
And maybe in 25 years, well be talking about that show in the same waywere celebratingFriendstoday.
