Ross carries show, especially in the later seasons.

I’ve never seen Chandler’s appeal over some of the others. I love all the friends but I think they’re all better than him besides Ross.

It’s weird because Monica was a relatively normal person at the start of the series but they started making her more of a psycho as the series went on. Same with Ross. Tbf all the characters become more extreme versions of themselves except for Chandler.

Monica was the only fully likeable character by the end of it.

Monica and Rachel switch/have switched their place and the boys switch place from time to time and Phoebe can sometimes the best one, but yeah that´s pretty apt.

Tbh Friends is one of those rare shows where none of them would really "work" without the others... the vast majority of the comedy is in their interactions / differences. People hate Ross as a character for example... and I suppose he could be seen as pretty awful as a person in a lot of ways... but some of the other character's funniest moments wouldn't happen without him in the mix. Phoebe for example is quite often played in contrast to Ross. Likewise, Joey and Chandler are at their best when they're in scenes together (Joey / Monica and Joey / Ross scenes can also be great). Any combination of two of the girls is usually lame... and yet all three of the girls together makes for great scenes.

I'm really appreciating just how well it's put together rewatching it now. I wonder if it was really skillful casting or pure dumb luck ... but, there's an obvious reason that it was as popular as it was in it's day.

Phoebe > Chandler > the others depending on the episode. All amazing though, like TS said the show needed all of them for it to work as well as it did and wouldn't have been as good with any of them missing.

Well he's been my favorite because he feels the most down-to-earth in his humour and he works as a commentary to the others while simultaneously being really humorous himself. There's a reason he gets commonly called the 'funny' friend. And like you said the other characters became more extreme whereas he stayed the same, and I think that's his appeal, since his development throughout the show feels more subtle and human. He feels most like a real person to me than the other ones do and I suppose I relate to his tongue-and-cheek cynicism as well.
