It definitely went on too long. By about 4 series too long. The later series were not a patch on the early stuff.Friends was worth watching for a long time, but like many US sitcoms, it runs for too long and kind of eats itself.
Having said that though, "It's Always Sunny" has been on for even longer and it's still very funny. I think that might be because the characters are both likeable and at times abhorrent in much the same way as they were on Seinfeld and in Curb.
Actually, that might explain why the likes of Johnson and Trump garner support.
