Five years ago, millions of people watched as six friends ventured to their favorite hang out for the last time. This week, 15 years after a set of “Friends” entered our hearts, iTunes is celebrating the iconic sitcom’s anniversary by releasing “Best Of” collections as well as the complete series.

According to BuddyTV, the sets include some of the best episodes of the series as well as “the most memorable moments…including the dramatic break-ups, the emotional make-ups, and of course, some of the most hilarious scenes that ever aired on TV, capturing the unforgettable storylines that made ‘Friends’ a smash hit.”

“Friends” is responsible for some of the most talked about moments in TV history, including the on-again, off-again relationship between Ross and Rachel, Phoebe’s one-hit wonder “Smelly Cat,” and the Ugly Naked Guy living next door. Some of the biggest names in entertainment appeared on the show, from George Clooney and Robin Williams to Christina Applegate and Julia Roberts, just to name a few.

Fans were excited to hear the collection is now available on iTunes:

ABC’s “Samantha Who?” and Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” will not be returning in the fall, according to news reports.

“Samantha Who?,” starring Christina Applegate, was originally expected to return to the ABC lineup, but was unable to tighten its budget enough to come back for what would have been the show’s third season.

According to Variety, ABC looked to cut around $500,000 by making several changes including switching from single camera shooting to using multiple cameras. The series, however, became less of a priority after ABC picked up 10 new series. Although “Samantha” showed great promise on Mondays, it began to falter when it switched to ABC’s Thursday night lineup.

Twitterers were caught by surprise after the announcement:

1. 
   kraulspace @pamelaribon My condolences. My mom and I bonded (not in a matching red jacket way) over Samantha Who? Nothing else makes us both laugh.
2. 
   amandabedgood @AccentOnLife say is isn’t so of Samantha Who? Such a cute show!
3. 
   voyage2k @EWPopWatch That’s really stupid! Samantha Who? was a very clever and funny show!

Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” also suffered a similar fate. Although the show had promising numbers in its Monday time slot, the viewership fell after it was moved mid-season to Fridays.

Both “Dollhouse” and “Sarah Connor” were up in the air for third season renewals and Fox ultimately felt “Dollhouse” was the best bet, giving it a renewal, according to TV Guide.

Even with “Terminator Salvation” due out in theaters this summer, Fox said buzz for the movie will not bring the show back. The show “has completed its run — and I think it had a nice little run,” Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said in the article. “We make no apologies. It had a huge launch … and we gave it a lot of support. We tried, but it’s time to move on.”

Twitterers shared their disappointment:

1.
