I saw this show when it originally aired. It has its moments and was a cultural touchstone during the later 90s.
With that said, the show really doesn't hold up well - compared to say Seinfeld. Both show a similar side of New York, although the latter is more grounded in reality - showing interactions with the different socioeconomic classes of NYC.
Unlike Friends, which almost exclusively seems to paint a picture of NYC as a city where only white affluent people live & where money seems to never be a problem. Ignoring that they seem to have considerable amount of free time and wealth to spend, the show had its moments but became extremely repetitive.
