We all have that person that we run to whenever something happens, good or bad. They are our best friends for a reason. As a tribute to your best friend, sit down and watch these shows famous for their female friendships.
Abbi and Ilana on Broad City: A show written by two best friends about their alter-egos, Broad City follows the two friends as they try to navigate life in New York City. With never ending adventures that lead down unexpected paths, you’ll surely get a laugh out of this one.
Daria and Jane on Daria: Two wallflowers meet at a self-esteem meeting and instantly decide that they will be best friends. If you and your best friend are the wittiest people in your friend group, you will appreciate Daria and Jane’s humor throughout.
Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia on The Golden Girls: Four women live together in Miami and experience that angst that most people don’t realize comes along with aging. They occasionally clash, but in the end, they are always there for each other.
Tia and Tamara on Sister Sister: While they may have looked alike, Tia and Tamara were polar opposites in personality. That didn’t stop them from being best friends. At the end of the day, they were always willing to join in and say, “Go home, Roger.”
Ann Perkins and Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation: This entire show is built around Ann and Leslie’s friendship because without Ann, Leslie wouldn’t be building her park. The two become fast friends, and Leslie always reminds Ann that it’s “hoes before bros” on this show.
Lucy and Ethel on I Love Lucy: As Ricky Ricardo tries to make it big in New York City, his wife Lucy tries to keep things steady at home, but usually finds herself in a pickle with her partner-in-crime Ethel. These two get up to a whole bunch of shenanigans that will keep you laughing.
Meredith and Cristina on Grey’s Anatomy: Everyone was upset when Cristina left Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, but no more than her person Meredith. These two twisted sisters have been through a bombing, a near-drowning, shooting, and a plane crash together, and nothing can tear them apart. They are more than just best friends, they are each other’s person.
Olivia Pope and Abby Whelan on Scandal: Opening up her management firm, Olivia Pope becomes best friends with her crisis management team member Abby Whelan. Together these two tackled the scandals that could potentially wrack Washington D.C.
Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe on Friends: While the show is technically about all six friends, the relationship between Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe is special. Throughout all the ups and downs of living in the city, falling in love, and out, these friends are there for each other.
Lorelai and Rory on Gilmore Girls: Possibly the greatest mother-daughter duo on TV, these girls are back for four more episodes on Netflix. While Rory is best friends with Lane, we all know that it was her relationship with Lorelai that steals the show.
Buffy and Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Buffy thinks she’s going crazy after getting kicked out of her last school, she befriends Willow, the shy geek-girl who wants everyone to know that computers are in. And Willow is there for Buffy when she finds out she’s the long-awaited Slayer, accepting what she’s says without question, something only your best friend could do.
Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda on Sex and the City: The show might be called Sex and the City, and there is certainly sex and the city in it, but when you get down to it, it’s about four best friends who go through thick and thin together. At the end of the day, they remind us that our best friends are the true loves of our lives.
Grab your best friend, and watch one (or all) of these shows. They remind us of how great our best friends really are.
