“Now, all I can think about is what can I do, what can I do differently? How can I run my show in a new way? That’s something I wish I knew when I started show running, but all the way up through last year.”
From the beginning of the show, which began airing in 1994 to its last episode back in 2004, the comedy sitcom has bagged thousands of die-hard fans from all around the globe. It is to date that the sitcom is celebrated by its massive fan following.
