The Friends writers had a formula. You could see them slowly develop it over the first couple of seasons, then by the 10th season you could probably predict how each character would react to a given situation. Most episodes are formulaic fluff like that, but every once in a while they still managed completely nail meshing all of their personalities into some very funny situations. Even in season 10, where I'd say 3/4 of the episodes are completely forgettable, they still managed to crank out some laugh out loud episodes.

Weirdest part re-watching the series for me - how often they showed the twin towers pre-9/11. Not like it's weird to show those impressive buildings - it just really dated the show for me.
