Generally, though, people help because helping makes them feel good Zhao says: "It's called warm-glow giving. "Over the past few recent decades, there has been more and more evidence that we are a pro-social and collaborative society," she says. "It can be nerve-wracking to ask a stranger for help," says. "You might be trapped in your own concerns. All of that makes it easy to overlook other people's willing ness to help."

Friends' Record-Breaking Episode Explained (It Wasn't The Series ... (Screen Rant)

While Friends has one of the most-watched series finales of all time, there's still one episode from the sitcom that earned higher ratings.

Alternatively, Friends' season 2 episode was positively found to be a fun event-style installment in the spirit of the rest of the sitcom, a great career revival for guest star Brooke Shields, and a slapstick Friends story that produced some of the season’s funnier moments. With so much going on in the two-part episode, “The One After the Super Bowl” was criticized for being bloated, primarily due to the sheer amount of storylines and celebrity appearances. The record-breaking, most-watched Friends episode was season 2’s “The One After the Super Bowl,” the two-part venture that premiered directly after the 1996 Super Bowl.
