Which Friends on Friends Were the Closest Friends?
Chandler and Joey? Rachel and Monica? Slate crunches the numbers.
This week marks the 10th anniversary of the Friends series finale, which aired on May 6, 2004. In honor of this important occasion, I decided to take a closer look at the series’ decade-long run and attempt to determine which of the six friends were the closest, as determined by which characters spent the most time on screen with each another.

You’re in their house.
I did not want it to end.
