They’re Back!

“I’ll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour). I’ll be there for you (like I’ve been there before).” Yes, “Friends.” They’ve always been there for us.

When a breakup hurt too much, Chandler was there with quick comebacks, and Joey was asking “how you doin’?” When we needed to know how to create the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, Monica came through, and when we needed a lyrically hilarious creation, Phoebe pulled out the guitar.

Recently, the cast of the hit TV sitcom “Friends” reunited after 13 years of creating humor out of everyday antics. The reunion took place at an All-Star Tribute to TV director James Burrows. Five of the “Friends” stars came together on the famous couch to reminisce about the good times and share some behind-the-scenes secrets.

Although there was no episode shedding light on Ross and Rachel’s marriage or Monica and Chandler’s new family, it’s nice to know the cast still has a good relationship with plenty of fond memories. If you’re feeling let down about no promise of a season 11, just remember, you’ll always have your “Friends” available on Netflix for only $7.99 per month, and the smelly cat will live on forever.

And then we have another ‘90s classic. No, I’m not talking about the “Boy Meets World” spin-off, rather the next best thing since sliced bread.

“Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there’s a face, of somebody who needs you.” Yes, there is. That place is located in San Francisco. It’s the house where Michelle grew up and Uncle Jesse only got hotter over the years. It’s the house that witnessed more life lessons and family fun than any other American household of the ‘90s.

I know the “Friends” reunion might have been a bit of a let down, but have no fear; “Full House” is back. “Fuller House” will premiere today on Netflix with a twist. Instead of Uncle Jesse, Danny and Joey doing all the hard work raising the kids, the “kids” are stepping up to the plate over 20 (yes, you read that right) years later. DJ will be raising her boys, Kimmy Gibbler has a daughter, and Stephanie is coming along for the ride.

Overall, 2016 is really taking us back down memory lane. TV reunions and spinoffs are becoming a more common trend, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what happens when DJ graduates from college.

Besides building a time machine, these reunions are the best chances to recapture that nostalgic ‘90s feel.
