Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed in an interview that she wasn't a fan of the popular sitcom "Friends" when it aired. The actress, who was starring in "Seinfeld" during the same time, explained that she had two children during that period and found balancing work and family to be a challenging task.

Although both sitcoms were set in New York City and had overlapping storylines, Louis-Dreyfus stated that they were not competitive. In a previous episode of the "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast, Louis-Dreyfus admitted to feeling envious of the female characters in "Friends" because they were given more sex appeal compared to her character Elaine.

Louis-Dreyfus also praised "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David for refusing to do crossover episodes with "Friends," which the network had proposed, stating that Larry was not willing to participate.
