What was Friends almost called?
So no one told you life was going to be this way, huh?
As easy as it would be to just launch into all of the lyrics from the Rembrandts' theme song for Friends, I'll spare you. You probably already sang them all in your head as soon as you saw the name of the show.
This group of goofballs began letting us into their inner circle nearly 30 years ago, premiering in 1994. It was a massive cultural and television hit. Just say "Ross & Rachel" in a crowd and someone nearby will start giving you their take.

Correct Answer: Six of One
The answer is: Six of One. When the creators of Friends first started conceiving of the show, they actually called it Insomnia Cafe. Not a terrible title by any means, but once things got closer to reality, they tossed around several new names, including Six of One.I'd say the title they went with was definitely a bit more straightforward and may have had a little something to do with the show's success — going 10 seasons and 236 episodes.Source
