Modern Family and Friends and both hilarious TV shows. Comparisons are inevitable, so what does each sitcom do better than the other?

How I Met Your Mother and Friends are both sitcoms, but each one has its own way of doing things. We compare the two funny shows.

The Office and Friends both concluded decade and near-decade-long runs on TV quite some time ago, but that doesn't stop just about everyone from constantly referencing them today. The two shows made television history, and are known as being incredibly smart, funny, and relatable. They broke the typical sitcom mold with unforgettable characters and storylines, and have definitely earned their places as iconic series.

NBC’s “Must-See TV” line-up in the ‘90s was dominated by two sitcoms about a group of pals in New York: Friends and Seinfeld. There’s been a long-running debate ever since about which was the better show. Friends might be more accessible and mainstream, but there’s a strong argument to be made that Seinfeld is the superior show.
