Is Friends the show with the best gueststars?

I'm not such a real fan of other American sitcoms, except for Friends of course. But when i occasionally watch others, I notice that their guest stars are pretty bad. Or better said, not as famous as the ones in Friends.

Take Home Improvement. They have guest appearances ALL THE TIME, but I always has to ask myself "Who the heck is that dude! He can't act!"

And for Seinfeld, except Courteney Cox.... none either.

But Friends.... George Clooney, JC-v-Damme, Tom Selleck, Bruce Willis, Brooke Shields, Rebecca Romijn, Elle McPherson, and the list goes on and on! Even for an European guy as myself, I KNOW WHO THEY ARE!

So I wonder, is Friends indeed THE show that attracts the most wellknown stars? (And they're all even acting pretty well, even the models ones)

George Clooney is appearing in an episode of one of the first season= when Rachel goes to the hospital with Monica, Rach doesn't have any insurance number so they exchange their name. Pb is that they meet 2 cute doctors (of ER; George Clooney + dr Carter) they see them 4 a drink but it turn to be a fiasco bc of this name exchanged. Remember?????

that would be TOW the two parts from season 1. Rachel & Monica are at the hospital, becuase Rachel was hurt. But Rachel didn't have any insurance so she switched names with Monica. Who'd know that they'd end up dating GC and Noah Wyle.

Only problem would be... Rachel is now Monica and Monica Rachel!

The one with two parts

And you forgot: Robin Williams and Billy Crystal

Hm, let's see, I think "Mad About You" also had a couple of good guesstarts, like: Lisa Kudrow (actually it was Mad About You, that made her popular), Bruce Willis, Ellen DeGeneres, Christie Brinkley, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Buscemi, Michael Richards (aka Kramer), Jerry Lewis, Regis Philbin, Cindy Lauper, Andre Agassi, Eric Stoltz, Rudolph Guiliani (NY mayor), Lyle Lovett, Jay Leno, Rachel Hunter, Brent Spiner (aka Data), Carl Reiner, Patrick Ewing, Gates McFadden (aka Dr. Crusher), Yoko Ono, Hank Azaria (from 'The Simpsons'), Nathan Lane, James Cameron, Mel Brooks, Janeane Garofalo...

Granted, not as impressive as the Friends guest stars, but still remarkable, don't you think?

Though you may not know it, many ,many actors and actresses did Seinfeld just before their big break. No joke! Take a look at a guest star list!
