Summary: The one with the first three seasons...
Review: "Friends" is the TV series that needs no introduction. It's the show that has been a part of people around the world for a decade and even more. If for some stroke of bad luck you haven't seen nor heard about this show, you must have been a hermit or something close to that. But there is hope yet for you...

"Friends" revolves around 3 guys and 3 ladies who became friends and grew together as friends through the years. It is a comedy show that, even with situations you'd think is near impossible from happening, is believably funny. What I believe made the show catch and keep its fan following is the dynamics of these six characters. Despite the similarity and difference in their backgrounds and views in life, they still stuck together. I think, and most people will agree with me, that the cast namely Jennifer Aniston-Pitt, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer, made these characters real and they made it their own. The friendships onscreen went offscreen as well, as the actors are real-life friends who dealt with their issues as a group. And that made people get more and more fascinated by the show.

It ended after 10 seasons with lots of ups and few downs in the course of its run, to most of the fans' dismay.

If you want to have a go at where the show began and where most of the excitement in the show is, pick up Seasons 1, 2 and 3 together. Just to give you some memorable things to see in these seasons, I'm going to name a few: When Ross "grabbed a spoon" in the pilot episode, Chandler's ATM vestibule, Monica and Rachel's identity switch while on a date with doctors portrayed by ER actors George Clooney and Noah Wyle, Joey's acting, and Phoebe's SMELLY CAT ("smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?...).

There are loads of great episodes in these three seasons enough to turn that stress to fits of laughter.

A must to all "Friends" fans and a great entertainment package to everyone looking for a good laugh and a look at how great life is when shared with friends...

Summary: You have got to be kidding me....
Review: Every time I see the show Friends, I can literally feel myself becoming a bigger wimp. I had the misfortune of seeing an episode of Friends last week; it wasn't pretty. At first I didn't know what I was watching because I had tuned in in the middle of the show, but I immediately realized that it was Friends when realized I had been watching for over 10 minutes and hadn't even so much as cracked a grin. The show just wasn't funny...at ALL. The guys that play on the show completely insult my masculinity, and I think the only reason why the show has survived for so many years is because there are a couple of good looking actresses on it. The solution: make shows with more ugly people in them. This way, the shows that are stupid, un-funny, and lacking content will be cancelled immediately instead of dragging on for years at a time, filling time spots that could be filled with potentially great TV shows such as Seinfeld or The Simpsons (the two undesputed greatest TV shows ever made). It's shows like Friends that are ruining this nation (the USA); turning men into women, and giving women the idea that they live on a set of a romantic comedy. Friends is ruining lives, tearing apart households, and giving Americans bad names. In short: DON'T PURCHASE THIS DVD SET.

Summary: LOVE IT
Review: I am so glad they decided to put friends on DVD.. just a little disappointed it takes so long to get the seasons out.. the releases are 4-8 months apart..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: If you're a friends fan you should get this. But if you haven't gotten any Friends dvd before you should get the Seasons 1-4 bundle instead. Buying the bundle saves you like 60 bucks and you'll have them all immediately. It'll take you weeks to watch these because they're long and they're so good you'll watch them over and over again until season 5 comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could this show be any funnier?
Review: This collection is a dream come true for any Friends fan. Seventy-one fantastic episodes of this hit show in a complete set. These seasons also contain some of Friends' best and most memorable moments (Rachel & Ross becoming a couple, Joey moving out, Richard & Monica date, the prom video, Joey putting on all of Chandler's clothes, Phoebe finding her half brother and the list goes on). Another nice thing is that the episodes on here are shown uncut, so you get to see some new scenes.

Among the set's special features on these twelve discs are trivia quizzes (on one of them, if you answer the questions correctly, Ross and Rachel get back together, but if you get them wrong, they have to stay on a break), commentary on various episodes, virtual tours (Central Perk, Joey & Chandler's and Monica & Rachel's apartments), a guestbook (take a look at all of the guest stars who have been on Friends) and more.

This is a definite must have for any fan of the show. Now you can watch your favorite Friends over and over again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Friends
Review: This is a great boxed set full of extra scenes and all the episodes. Other friends dvd's have some episodes but not all like this one. I just wanna say i cant wait until seasons 4-9 come out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must buy for all friends fans!
Review: This is by far better than just getting one or 2 seasons, you get all 3! From the first seasonto the end its all funny and yet sometimes serious during the break-ups of Rachel and Ross, Phoebe trying to find her family, Joey and Monica trying to have a relationship that lasts more than a week, while Chandler trys to get away from a relationship that seems he's stuck forever with. Theses seasons also include tons of very cool special features like trivia quizzes and tours of the apartments and Central Perk, the favorite hangout spot for coffee. From the Pilot to The One at the Beach, all episodes have comedy nad yet suspense.
