Friends
Friends premiered on NBC in September 1994, created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, following six friends navigating relationships and careers in New York City, and it became one of the most commercially successful and widely syndicated sitcoms in television history across its ten-season run. The show's ensemble cast negotiated a famous unified salary deal during its later seasons, with all six main actors eventually earning $1 million per episode each, a groundbreaking demonstration of collective bargaining power among an ensemble cast that reshaped how subsequent hit shows approached similar negotiations. Friends achieved a massive second life on streaming platforms decades after its original run, with Netflix and later Max paying enormous licensing fees to retain streaming rights, reflecting the show's sustained, multi-generational popularity long after its original 2004 finale. Friends's combination of its historically significant ensemble cast salary negotiations and its sustained multi-decade streaming popularity has made it one of the most commercially significant sitcoms in television history.
VS
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered on Fox in 2013, created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, following the detectives of a fictional Brooklyn police precinct in a workplace comedy format, and it starred Andy Samberg as a talented but immature detective clashing with his by-the-book new captain. The show's casting of Andre Braugher as Captain Raymond Holt, a gay Black police captain whose deadpan delivery became one of the series' most celebrated comedic elements, represented a notably different kind of authority-figure character than typical sitcom police captains. Following Fox's cancellation after its fifth season, a significant social media campaign from fans and other television figures helped drive NBC to pick the show up for additional seasons, becoming a widely cited example of fan advocacy directly influencing a network's programming decisions. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's combination of its genuinely groundbreaking central authority-figure character and its fan-driven revival after cancellation has made it one of the more culturally notable comedy series of the 2010s.
