That being said, a modern-day version of Friends would still be watched by just about everybody, especially in the light of the popularity of the return of The X-Files, as well as the upcoming returns of Will & Grace and Roseanne.

"[It] isn’t pretty. Now you have a computer, a television, and a phone. There's no room. We were jokingly saying that if Friends was created today, you would have a coffee shop full of people that were just staring into iPhones. There would be no actual episodes or conversations."
