6 best ensemble casts from a comedy TV series
By Rishi Patel
The ensemble casts of some TV shows are simply unforgettable. Let’s look at some of the most iconic ones from a comedy TV sitcom.
Audiences often fall for the cast of their favorite shows as it feels they are growing with them or relate to the characters more as the show trudges on. This has especially been true with very renowned shows. I mean, I’m sure I’m not the only one remembering Joey Tribbiani or Michael Scott from time to time.
Speaking of those characters, that got me thinking about some of the most terrific and diverse casts from a comedy TV series. As a comedy sitcom aficionado, I have spent countless hours binging the stories of Rachel Green, Leslie Knope, and many other favorites!
But aren’t the best “large” casts filled with different personas? That’s true to some extent when you consider it, because monotonous characters likely cannot relate to different types of fans and create a truly unique cast.
Here’s a list of some of the most memorable ensemble casts from a comedy TV series:
6. Friends (1994-2004)
One of the most iconic TV comedies and TV shows of all time, Friends , was a hilarious, yet moving sitcom depicting the stories of six 20-something-year-olds navigating life in New York City.
The hub for their get-togethers was the Central Perk coffee shop, and fans were able to truly watch each character grow in the lengthy 10-season run. With romance, laughs, mishaps, and catchphrases (how you doin?), this show was simply striking.
Friends had one of the best ensemble casts of all time. Between the carefree Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), sleazy Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), the hilarious Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), determined Monica, knowledgeable Ross (David Schwimmer), and passionate Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), there was no shortage of action and never a dull moment. There was also no shortage of different personalities, which made the series more enjoyable in return.
