The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is more like a nerdier version of FRIENDS. The characters from both the shows do not bear similar traits but do have a bond that matches the essence of both the shows. The flirty guy, the one guy who is forever alone, the smart guy who is the butt of all the jokes, are just some similarities that one can spot in the show. The Big Bang Theory revolves around the lives of a group of friends who are trying to get on with their daily lives, unlike FRIENDS, however, the cast of Big Bang Theory is much nerdier and thus that sets them a bit apart.

In recent years, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has really caught the attention of viewers and garnered a huge fan base.

Thus, Brooklyn Nine-Nine too can be a good choice to watch after one finishes binge-watching FRIENDS.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Will Smith starrer The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of the funniest sitcoms from the 90s. The show aired in 1990 which was around the same time FRIENDS was around. Thus the time frame between the two is similar and the group dynamics too can be seen in some episodes. While the narrative of the shows is quite different, they match in terms of jokes and the overall group dynamic that the family follows through the series.
The Simpsons
The group dynamics are replaced with family dynamics in this animated series. The jokes are hilarious and the narrative is something that has been loved for years. Like FRIENDS, the Simpsons too has been on for a long time and has been loved by fans.
