Friends is back on Netflix in most of the world… This is our petition to bring it back to the US.

There aren't many people who can truly say that they have never watched Friends. Even those who make a point to avoid it because they have gotten this far without watching the series have probably watched an episode or two. Even if you didn't sit down to watch all 10 seasons (which you definitely should), it feels impossible to live on this planet and not know the names of the six friends, or not have even the most basic understanding of what goes on in that show.

The reason most of us know Friends is that it is truly so iconic. Even though the show ended in 2004, it still carries so much weight and love, and is still being watched daily by millions of people.

The show's popularity is probably what convinced the people of Netflix to bring it back to our screens in many countries around the world, after it was taken down a few years ago. That being said, it is still not available in the US, Canada, the UK, and other countries, which are all waiting for Netflix to finally bring back the beloved friends home.

As a Friends fan and devoted follower, I have watched the show from start to finish more times than I can count, but I still look forward to the day it will be back on Netflix and available to binge all over again. I miss laughing at Chandler's dumb jokes or being mad at Ross for being a terrible boyfriend. I miss taking fashion inspiration from Rachel or singing along to Phoebe's silly songs. Parasocial as it may be, these guys are my friends, and I love them.

I love them so much that I collected some of the best Friends memes to share here today, with those who might feel the same about this incredible series.
