Lisa Kudrow believes there is a specific reason why Friends remains one of the most popular series, especially among younger generations today.
In an interview, the 61-year-old actress stated why she isn't shocked by the popularity of the 1990s comedy.
"I'm not amazed because it's good and it's familiar," Kudrow, who portrayed the fan favorite Phoebe Buffay, told Page Six on Friday, December 7.
The Come Back actor went on to say that she feels Friends evokes "subconscious nostalgia" among younger fans who grew up with cell phones and social media.
"For something they don't have—in-person interactions and relationships. And that's always been the foundation of any successful program."
She went on: "That's why people get attached to them and then if it's funny, there [are] good performances, good jokes, that's a bonus and Friends had all that."
The Emmy-winning artist revealed that many people around her questioned if the comedy would ever thrive, wondering if "a bunch of young people sitting on a couch talking" was even a program.
"That's not my problem," Kudrow remarked. "I'm just in it, but yes it was a show."
The final episode of fans' favorite show, which broadcast in May 2004, drew over 52 million viewers, making it the seventh most-watched series finale in American history.
The Friends star is slated to appear on screen in her forthcoming film No Good Deed, which is released on December 12th.
