Review: A real must see for anyone who has ever watched FRIENDS. Real funny and brightens up your day

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The one where Chandler & Monica replace Rachel & Ross
Review: As we work our way through Volume 2 of "The Best of Friends" you should continue to find yourself agreeing with at least half, if not more, of the selections (even those these were "chosen by fans!":

(1) "The One Where No One's Ready" (September 26, 1996) proves something we should have all known from the start. You can do an entire episode of "Friends" watching Rachel get dressed (this is foreshadowed by the photo on the cover of Volume 1 where Jennifer Aniston is only wearing a sheet). The only problem is that this is Ross's big night and he is not making it any easier on her or anybody else. The only episode on this DVD that is not on TV Guide's list of "The Top 50 'Friends' Moments.'"

(2) "The One with the Embryos" (January 15, 1998), but Phoebe's womb is not as interesting in this episode as the trivia game going on in Monica and Rachel's apartment. At stake: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Fess up: you didn't know the answer to the big stumper question either. Ranks #18 on TV Guide's list.

(3) "The One with Ross's Wedding, Parts 1 & 2 (May 7, 1998) provides the best "Friends" cliffhanger (yes, even better than this year's "Ok"). Rachel goes over to England to stop Ross's wedding, but he manages to do just fine without her help. Loose lips can sink more things than ships. This one ranked #39 on the TV Guide list.

(4) "The One with All the Thanksgivings" (November 19, 1998) is a flashback trip down memory lane where we find out ever reason Chandler has to hate Thanksgiving, from his Flock of Seagulls haircut to the amputation of a toe. TV Guide ranked this moment #29.

(5) "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" (February 11, 1999) is quite simple to explain. Joey and Rachel know about Monica and Chandler, but then Phoebe finds out, but Monica and Chandler do not know that Phoebe knows, but then Phoebe hits on Chandler so they know but she does not know that they know. And then... This episode ranks #5 on TV Guide's list, although I think it is probably the funniest "Friends" episode ever. Well, okay, so far.

This volume includes ADDED FOOTAGE and the Rembrandt's "Ill Be There For You" music video. The next pair of volumes in this DVD series claim to present "fan favorites." Again, there is plenty of room for fans of the show to quibble about what has been included and what has not. Still, having these around beats the hit and miss proposition of catching your favorites in syndication.

Summary: A Video Collecters Must Buy!
Review: Friends is just the thing you need after a stress filled day. The charecters are funny and the situations are hillarious. My personal favorite is the episod when Ross goes on a date wearing leather pants. The girls apartment is so hot, he goes to the bathrooom to take off the pants to get some air, then he can't get them back on. So, he calls Joey, (of all People) to help him figure out what to do because he's in the womens apartment. This entire tape will have you laughing form beginning to end.

Summary: Best of Friends, Volume 2
Review: I love this DVD! It has five great episodes of everyone's favourite stars, Pheobie, Rachel, Monica, Ross, Joey and Channler. Here is a review of all of the episodes:

1. The One Where No One's Ready --- Ross wants everyone to get ready for his big party, but none of them can decide what to wear.
2. The One With The Embryos --- Pheobie gets embryo's put into her so her brother can have a baby, and also Ross invents a game which causes the girls to lose there apartment.
3. The One With Ross's Wedding --- The gang flies over to London for Ross's wedding but he says he loves Rachel and it never happens.
4. The One With All the Thanksgivings --- Many flashbacks to many old Thanksgivings.
5. The One Where Everybody Finds Out --- Rachel finds out about Monica and Channler's relationship (Joey and Pheobie already know but Ross doesn't) and Monica and Channler know that they know, and then they know that they know that they know etc. and they keep playing mind games.
PLUS!: Bonus material, and no adverts (commercials)
This is a Friends Fan essential. Buy it now.

Summary: Certainly not the best of. Who picks these episodes anyway?
Review: If they took all of the really great episodes from the four "best of" videos, they could fit them all onto one video. But then, they wouldn't make so much money off us Friends fans, would they? The only reason to reach for this tape is for episode 1 ("The One Where No One's Ready"), episode 3 ("The One With Ross's Wedding") and #5 ("The One Where Everybody Finds Out"). Episode #2 ("The One With the Embryos") has got to be one of the most monotonous ever made. Episode #4 wears thin after the first few minutes. Not worth it in my opinion, but feel free to take your chances.
