For me, it was the perfect chemistry among the six of them that made it appealing. A similar chemistry was there between Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. If someone else besides Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd had played those roles, the movie wouldn't have been the same.

But I was also a huge fan of "Cheers", and I did see many times where "Friends" borrowed rather liberally from "Cheers". I can't name the specific episodes, but there were a number of times.
