Not forgetting the ultimate sitcom, Friends.

Fans mourned the TV show when its decade-long reign came to an end in 2004, and once again when it was announced it would be pulled from E4 in 2011.

Luckily, other channels picked it up and Friends fans rejoiced when it appeared on Netflix in 2014.

But it could soon disappear.
