The moment fans had been waiting for finally came last month. That’s right, the long awaited “Friends” reunion episode aired on Feb. 21.

“Friends” is a TV classic, first airing in 1994 and running for 10 seasons. The show chronicles the lives of a group of six friends who face love and life in New York City.

They have a usual place to hang out together, the “Central Perk,” which is a coffee shop on the first floor of their apartments. Together, they experience “friendship, family, heartbreak, babies; everything,” as said by Jennifer Aniston during the reunion.

Aniston (Rachel Green), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) and David Schwimmer (Ross Geller) gathered for a TV special tribute in honor of James Burrows.

Burrows is a well-known director for NBC who also directed 15 “Friends” episodes.

Earlier this month, NBC released two clips of the cast talking about Burrows and the reason it only took one man to get them all together.

Yet through all the buzzing excitement of seeing the cast together again, no one had a clue about what the special was actually about.

The majority of the special wasn’t actually focused on the cast of “Friends,” unlike reunions of past TV shows Burrows has directed.

In fact, the first hour and a half of the special was spent waiting for the cast to appear on stage.

In the meantime, other shows touched by Burrows including “Will & Grace” and “The Big Bang Theory” kept viewers occupied.

Sadly, only five out of the six iconic friends were present.

Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing, was in London rehearsing for “The End of Longing,” a new play that he wrote.

Perry was included when he appeared on-screen through a video he sent in. Perry gave his thanks to Burrows, and then introduced his former cast members to the stage.

Earlier, he mentioned being stuck in Europe, but nobody knows for sure. There could’ve been another blackout and he could’ve been stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre again.

But even without his comedic sarcasm, the reunion couldn’t have been more perfect.

Even though the special wasn’t completely based on “Friends,” the reunion was well worth the wait.

After watching the whole special and waiting for so long, nothing felt better than seeing five out of the six friends hold hands as they took the stage together.

What viewers saw was heartwarming: the cast looked genuinely happy together.
