'I'll be there for you.'

The Big Picture When it comes to sitcoms, there’s nothing quite as iconic and timeless as Friends. Whether it’s the will-they-won’t-they romance between Ross and Rachel , the quirkiness of Joey and Phoebe , or the growth between Monica and Chandler , Friends kept viewers glued to the TV for 10 years and 236 total episodes, winning several awards and gaining incredible ratings. It’s no wonder the show is a classic.

Back at Monica’s apartment, Ross makes it clear that his problem with the wedding, and the reason he refuses to attend, has nothing to do with Carol and Susan being gay and everything to do with Carol being his ex-wife. Despite the fact that he and Carol have remained friends, attending the wedding would be painful and awkward for him.

During the reception, Susan responds to Ross’s support of Carol by extending an olive branch herself. She thanks him for helping to calm Carol’s nerves and to be her support system during the wedding, then goes one step further by offering Ross a dance. Ross agrees. This episode represents a big turning point for Ross in relation to one of his biggest conflicts in the Friends’ early days.

While the majority of Friends viewers enjoyed the episode and few complaints made it to NBC executives, some networks refused to air the episode at all. There’s always bound to be some pushback when it comes to topics seen as controversial, and Friends wasn’t exactly subtle with the episode’s message. Nevertheless, the episode survived the backlash and remains a memorable moment in Friends history, if for nothing else, then for Ross’s character growth.
