One of the television shows that can be considered art is Friends. Friends, an American sitcom aired for ten years, 1994 to 2004, on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network. It was created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The sitcom is about six young adults whose lives are portrayed via their personalities and comedic moments. The Friends sitcom is considered art because it brings together quirky characters that normally would not fit together but synch in perfect harmony. The writing explores all aspects of comedic writing by taking advantage of sarcasm, sadistic humor, and situational comedy. It would also be considered art because its humor is subjective.
