TBS Is Having A ‘Friends’ Anniversary Marathon & Here’s Every Episode Airing This Month

The one where Friends fans celebrate its 25th anniversary: TBS is celebrating Friends’ anniversary with a month long marathon this September — and the network just unveiled a sneak peek at the schedule. The iconic sitcom, which first premiered on Sept. 22, 1994 on NBC, followed six friends as they navigated the trials and tribulations of life, love, and career in New York City. To celebrate the series, TBS will unveil weekday episodes that fall under a specific theme each week. The month-long nostalgia fest kicks off this week on Tuesday, Sept. 3 with the inaugural theme “The One With the Running Gags,” which will, as the title suggests, explore episodes (in no particular order) with running gags.

Broken into four days, “The One With the Running Gags” will explore different sub themes of running gags: “Phoebe’s Songs,” 12 episodes that will explore the musical stylings of Central Perk’s resident musician Phoebe Buffay; “Gunther & Rachel’s ‘Un-Love Story,” 12 episodes that will explore Central Perk barista Gunther’s unrequited love for Rachel Green; “Janice’s ‘Oh My God!’,” 12 episodes that will explore the signature phrase of Chandler Bing’s ex-girlfriend; and “Joey’s Acting Gigs,” 12 episodes that will explore Joey Tribbiani’s acting roles.

So, grab a cup of coffee from Central Perk and settle into a La-Z-Boy recliner as you peruse the official lineup for “The One With the Running Gags” below.

Phoebe’s Songs (Tuesday, Sept. 3)
