Summary: Four out of Five Eps Make it Four out of Five Stars
Review: The Best Of Friends Vol. 2 has even more episods for us to enjoy. Although not some of the "Best of", any Friends episode on dvd is worthy.

(1) The One Where No One's Ready - Noone's ready when Ross wants them to be. Each friend goes through their own quirky mishaps. Joey and Chandler fight over a chair, Monica has a phone problem with her ex, Phoebe has spilt something on her dress, and Rachel can't decide what to wear. This all leads to funny stuff.

(2) The One with the Embryos - Phoebe is clinically impregnated so her brother and his wife are able to have babies. Cute little episode.

(3) The One with Ross' Wedding - Yep, Ross' 2nd wedding I believe. Here he's getting married to British Emily, so the gang (all but Phoebe) goes to London for the wedding. It's here that Chandler and Monica end up together. I believe this one of those eps that doesn't deserve the "Best Of . . ." treatment. They end this ep on a cliffhanger type thing, and never show the next ep or what happens. My only complaint with the disc.

(4) The One with All the Thanksgivings - Great episode! The gang views videotapes of past Thanksgivings.

(5) The One Where Everybody Finds Out - This is my #1 funniest Friends ep. It's hilarious when Rachel and Phoebe found out about Monica and Chandler, and how they cover it up from Ross. And the interaction between Joey and Rachel is great when they both try to not tell each other what they know.

Great episodes with turning points in the series!

Summary: Friends is the best show!
Review: The second of two volumes, this DVD collects the second top 5 of the top 10 episodes of Friends as rated by the fans. Here are the five episodes in this volume:

1. The One Where No One's Ready (9/26/96): The gang can't decide what to wear to Ross' function, plus Monica copes with her break up.

2. The One With The Embryos (1/15/98): Phoebe agrees to carry her brother's baby.

3. The One With Ross's Wedding (5/7/98): Classic two-parter where the gang goes to London for Ross's wedding to Emily. Plus, Ross's big flub at the end.

4. The One With All the Thanksgivings (11/19/98): Or perhaps a better title would be, "The Ghost of Thanksgivings Past?" Another great flashbacks episode where the gang relives Thanksgivings of the past. More development in the Chandler/Monica relationship.

5. The One Where Everybody Finds Out (2/11/99): Hilarious episode as Phoebe plays with Chandler's mind. The cats finally outta the bag once everyone finds out about Monica and Chandler's clandestine relationship. Plus, Ross acquires the Naked Man's apartment.

Exclusive DVD features: Cast bios, the Rembrandt's "I'll Be There For You" music video, behind the scenes on location footage of Friends' tour in London, plus additional footage for each episode. (Honestly, I can't tell the difference...)

Here's my quick rundown:

Good: NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The extras on the DVD were a great bonus. The Cast bios were a great and interesting read. The behind the scenes footage in London was also pretty interesting. The Rembrandt video was pretty cool too. Definitely a plus.

So-so: The additional footage? Me personally, I can't really tell the difference but I guess that makes it a plus.

Bad: Nothing!!!

I like the fact that they released these episodes on DVD. The replay value, like most sitcoms, is awesome. It's just like watching Friends syndicated reruns on your local station but without the commercials and with a better picture. Personally, I think the DVD is a good investment to your DVD collection. Unlike taping your favorite episodes off the air, the DVD won't get "eaten" from constant replay.

Must have for a Friends fan? Not necessarily -- but it definitely won't hurt :)

Recommended.
