Friends, I think, deserves to be in this list not necessarily because it's the best show in terms of writing quality or acting (certainly not compared to some of the other shows on here) but in terms of what it achieved - few other sitcoms have been quite as successful and become quite such a part of popular culture as Friends has. Love it or hate it, it's a show that's impossible to ignore, even now several years after its cancellation (since it's repeated ad inifnitum).
