The sitcom Friends produced 236 episodes.
Those episodes were released across 10 seasons, beginning with the 1994 premiere and ending with the 2004 finale. The series was broadcast by NBC and became one of the most prominent American sitcoms of the 1990s and early 2000s.
The total includes the two-part series finale, commonly listed as “The Last One.” Friends used a traditional network sitcom structure, with episodes generally running for about 22 minutes and occasional extended installments receiving longer broadcast slots.
The number is often confused with the number of seasons, which is 10, or with the episode counts of related projects such as Joey. Friends itself has 236 episodes. Its large episode total reflects a decade-long original run and a substantial recurring cast alongside the six principal characters.
