25 Netflix shows to watch if you miss Friends

Netflix shows like Friends: Disjointed

Seasons: 1

Created By: David Javerbaum and Chuck Lorre

Starring: Kathy Bates, Aaron Moten, Elizabeth Alderfer, Tone Bell, Elizabeth Ho, Dougie Baldwin, Betsy Sodaro, Chris Redd

Perhaps the only sitcom legacy that’s as gargantuan as that of Friends is enduring résumé of Chuck Lorre. The television legend has created and/or produced such sitcoms as Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom, The Kominsky Method, Young Sheldon and many, many more. Lorre also co-created the short-lived Netflix multi-cam Disjointed.

In terms of sitcoms, Disjointed marked something of a departure for Lorre. You’d be hard-pressed to find a multi-cam comedy in the legendary creator’s CBS résumé that centers around a weed dispensary, but such are the perks of making the leap to a streaming service like Netflix. Unfortunately, the Kathy Bates-led laugher didn’t last long, but its laughs remain strong.

Disjointed may not have much in common with Friends on paper, since none of the characters were overt stoners (though we wouldn’t be surprised if Phoebe and Joey were getting high on the low), both sitcoms have an unbeatable sense of humor. If “The One Where Ross Got High” is one of your favorite episodes of Friends, you’ll definitely want to check out Disjointed.
