12 Most Fan-Pleasing TV Moments Ever

1. I Got Off The Plane - Friends

Friends Got Off The Plane
NBC

Friends was full of fan-pleasing, fist-pumping, heart-swelling, stand-up-yelling moments: Ross and Rachel's first (ok, technically second) kiss in Central Park, 'he's her lobster', Monica proposing to Chandler, Joey moving back into the apartment. The writers would even gauge audience reaction when filming and change things on the fly.

But for all the highs across all 10 seasons, no moment pleased fans, made fists pump, hearts swell, and have you stand up and yell quite as much as the scene Rachel stands in Ross' doorway, revealing that she did indeed get off the plane.

Their relationship may have been off longer than it was on, but Ross and Rachel had to end up together. They left it late, but that just made it all the sweeter. This is the emotional crescendo to the entire series; quite literally its happy ending.
