It's probably hard to remember such a thing in 2015, but NBC used to be the network leader in primetime comedies. Today one of its biggest shows ever, Friends, has arrived on Netflix. The agreement to bring Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross to the streaming service was announced back in October, but New Year's Day — right now — is the first time subscribers can start binging on the 10 seasons of what ranks as one of the most popular sitcoms in TV history.

Cheers to twenty FRIENDS teen. All 10 seasons of #Friends are #NowOnNetflix https://t.co/tvf21OcYSQ — Netflix US (@netflix) January 1, 2015

The entire series is in HD, widescreen, and features 5.1 audio; Friends was converted to Blu-Ray in 2012, which was the original reason for going back to the vault and remastering the old 35mm film. But now Netflix customers also get to see the show in its upgraded form (without dealing with 21 discs), and it has never looked better.

Some other shows from NBC's glory days like Frasier have long been on Netflix, but you'll have to head over to Sony's Crackle for select episodes of Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld has previously confirmed talks about bringing his show about nothing to Netflix. Friends is easily the company's biggest pickup in some time, but we've learned by now that Reed Hastings and Co. rarely sit still in pursuing other deals.

Note: Many people are finding it difficult to stream Friends when searching with the company's mobile and TV apps. We'd recommend adding it to your watch list by following this link. Once that's done, the series will be easily accessible on your smartphone, Roku, game console, or any other device you use to watch Netflix. It seems Friends is still so new to Netflix that it's not coming up in obvious search queries; we'd expect the company to have this fixed before long.
