Summary: couldn't miss even it's rerun.
Review: Actually, I first saw Friends in Seoul, Korea. It was one of the season 6 episodes. I just can't forget how fun it was. I was really rolling on the floor laughing. Ever since then, I couldn't miss any episode even it's rerun. I even started looking for soundtracks and the odd songs that Phoebe made. These friends washed out my stress from work every night.

After seeing a few apisodes, you would be the one of us who are waiting for the next season - now it would be season 8.

Summary: So no one told you life was gonna be this way...
Review: No jobs, great apartments, designer clothes, and an utter lack of minorities in the most populated U.S. city. These are a few of the recurring elements of the ten episodes compiled on this "best of" 2-disk set. Unfortunately, aside from the irritating card-board packaging, Warner is still displaying its knack for the DVD stone-age. Let's see, highlights include "interactive menus" and (gasp with joy) career highlights. As far as picture quality and sound go, well you know that neighbor that has a great home theater? His television showcases the repeats (which play all day) just as well as the DVDs present these episodes. The episodes, voted 10 favorite by fans (a vote I don't recall being invited to take part in), are all titled "The one where..." just to remind you that this show is hip with beautiful people and catchy themes. Overall, the disk offers little more than your local television station already provides for free.

Summary: Unutterably Revolting
Review: As the title of this review suggests, it is very hard for me to express in words how vile this set of programs is. The series presents a vacuous approach to the comic, creating a tediously secure and trivial set of uninteresting bores who converse dully for half an hour to rid teenagers of their angst for said period of time. The rock interludes are sickening, again attempting to justify the boringly shallow existences of the irritating protagonists. I despise this series for a plethora of reasons: it is boring, not at all comic, trivial and vapid. Utterly dire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Well Selected Episodes
Review: I really enjoyed both DVDs in this set, the episodes featured are some of the really good ones. I only wish they came out with more volumes! The "extra features" consist of some cast info, the "music video" of the intro song and on the second volume 2 "featurettes" about friends in london. Volume one is a must buy because it has "the one with the prom video" and volume 2 is great because of "the one with all the thanksgivings" (i really like the flashback eps, as you can see). Of course, there are no commercials so that is wonderful as well. If you're in an area where they show re-runs everyday you might ask "why not tape the episodes myself?" That is a valid argument, but this way you get them all in one place!...

Review: I am like the biggest FRIENDS fan!! I LOVE them! I never miss a show, I even record some of them. But when I heard they had a movie of them, I went out and got it! I think these shows are hillarious! I watch them over and over, and I laugh every time! It never gets old watching them, even if it's the same episode agian and agian. I LOVE FRIENDS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! Can't wait for more.
Review: I am a huge FRIENDS fan. I work night shift, so I have to record the shows and watch them later, and you can guarantee when I get home, the vcr is in and I watch them over and over. The chemistry between the actors and actresses is just phenomenal. If you are a FRIENDS fan, then this is a must have.

Summary: ONE OF THE VERY BEST AMERICAN SITOCMS!
Review: Friends, is undoubtedly one of the very best American sitcoms in a long time. A group of friends all living in the same apartment block may sound like a plot for an old fashioned comedy but it hits contemporary times perfectly whilst always strongly retaining a fun, feel good factor. David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow can always raise a smile with their dizzy, scatter brained characterisations whilst the rest of the cast such as Jennifer Aston, Courtney Cox and Matt Le Blanc simply gell brilliantly together, giving it a very warm, natural quality.

Every episode on here is absolutley fantastic! They represent the series possibly at it's ultimate finest. The sparkling scripts bubbles along with razor sharp wit and is complimented by its delivery of these talented bunch of actors. The characters are all loveable than ever. A great pleasure to watch and this sitcom ranks up in the list of classics following in the footsteps of other great U.S sitcoms such as Cheers, The Golden Girls and Roseanne. The series has enjoyed triumphant popularity on both sides of the Atlantic. Just viewing any one of these episodes will let you truly appreciate why this series continues to be a smash hit. Fans will be delighted! Highly Recommended!

IF ALLTHE SERIES AND EPISODES EXSIST I AM READY TO BUY EVERY SINGLE OF THEM, ....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay, but still...
Review: Finally, the best of "Friends" shows up in 2 videocassettes, but most of the "Friends" shows are sometimes stupid, mainly silly, but sometimes they manage to occasionally produce a good laugh, by using sex jokes and some body humor. But it has warmth and charm to it. Also, bubbly Lisa Kudrow, sex-crazed Matt LeBlanc, the two fiances (Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox Arquette), silly Ross, and just plain Jennifer Aniston are the oddballs in this genially entertaining sitcom, with entertaining appearances by Julia Roberts (I love that woman), George Clooney, and Helen Hunt (I love that sexy woman, too).
