Summary: Good season, with some considerations.
Review: I stopped watching Friends after the second season, when I started working in high school and became interested in other things. Thankfully, my spouse's interest in the series resulted in us buying every season on DVD, and I was quite surprised to find a very, very good show.Season 7, while containing many highlights, ranks least among the Friends seasons currently in release (1-7). Although I recommend it heartily to any fan, I would caution anyone considering this Season to be their first Friends purchase (either start at 1 or 4). Some comments: 1. For whatever reason (health, addiction, or possibly bad writing), Matthew Perry is not in full form this season. In fact, during the season opener, he appears to have some trouble either physically speaking or remembering his lines (he has no timing in this episode). Luckily, he gets better, and by the third episode, appears to be back in form. However, as a character, it appears the writers decided to focus away from him and eliminate his one-liners (odd, considering the end-of-the-year wedding would seem to put him in the forefront). As is, he is now playing straight man to the other five, when the opposite should be true. Perhaps the writers knew of his personal problems and thought he could not handle that role. My understanding is that this improves in Season 8, so hopefully Chandler really becomes Chandler again. 2. Because the season seems singularly focused on Monica/Chandler's wedding, the writing is more frequently on autopilot in this season. To compensate, there is a deluge of star cameos. Unfortunately, the cameos work about half the time (Jason Alexander, yes; Denise Richards, no). Kathleen Turner plays an important relative to a primary character (I won't spoil it for you)...however, despite designing an entire episode for her (as well as a significant part of the finale), her role is underwritten severely. Considering the nature of her character, they could have used her better (and funnier), and her appearance, while a shrewd choice, is disappointing. As always, Christina Pickles and Elliot Gould do a wonderful job as Ross and Monica's parents; they have probably been the best "recurring cameos" in television history. 3. The finale is poorly conceived. Our knowledge of Chandler would expect him to get cold feet. What do the writers do? Fulfill our expectations and give him cold feet. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Chandler be perfectly fine with the wedding...yet, write or do something to make all the others THINK he was losing it? As is, this is a ho-hum episode until the final five minutes...when the inevitable occurs (in a well-done fashion) and a key secret is revealed. However, this falls even with Season 3 as probably the worst final episode of friends. Despite these pitfalls, Season 7 had its moments: 1. The One with the Holiday Armadillo. This is, by far, the best Friends episode ever written (up to the end of Season 7). Its concept is wonderfully conceived (and relevant, considering the growing number of Jewish--non-Jewish parent couples)...and its execution is hilarious...downright hilarious. This is the episode that, when I saw it in syndication, renewed my interest in Friends and caused me to buy the first season on DVD. 2. Matt Le Blanc. Perhaps in order to make up for Matthew Perry's decreased function as a character, Joey became much stronger. Season 7 is Joey's time to shine. His character became both funnier and more complex (watch him in The One with All the Cheesecakes...as he and Phoebe's friendship becomes temporarily strained). This season established Matt Le Blanc as more than a lucky, prettyboy actor with a role that simply matches his personality...Joey became flesh and blood in this season. Overall: 3 out of 5 stars. Not a good first Friends DVD purchase, but worthwhile for fans and collectors...if you have the first 6, might as well get this one too.

Summary: The Finale Is The Best
Review: Overall Season Seven was awesome - it doesn't get the respect it deserves and I don't know why that is the case. But still, my favorite episode is the finale which has some of the funniest lines and a really heart-wrenching conclusion involving one of the main characters (if you don't know what it is than you obviously don't own a television). I love Season Seven, but I am more excited for Season Eight, which was the best (and most lauded) year for this classic series.

Summary: Friends - woo hoo!
Review: I really love this season of Friends. I bought it on Tuesday and finished it Saturday. I just couldn't stop watching. It was hilarious, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I own all the other seasons of Friends and this is by far the best one yet. I think the show only gets better w/ time. I HIGHly recommend adding this season to your DVD collection.

Summary: Perhaps the Best Season Ever!
Review: As the sitcom is counting the days to its series finale, many have bought this deluxe 4-disc set of Season 7. Season 7 is one of my personal favorites because the gang is preparing for Chandler and Monica's wedding! For once, the spotlight is on the couple instead of the whole Ross and Rachel relationship, and it is relieving. There were many faboulous episodes this season including: The One With Rachel's Book- Joey finds Rachel's late night reading material and makes fun of her.
The One With Phoebe's Cookies- Monica tries to replicate Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe. Chandler has some bonding time with his future father-in-law. Joey and Rachel go sailing.
The One With the Holiday Armadillo- Ross teaches his son Ben about Chanukkah.
The One With All the Candy- Monica makes holiday candy for the neighbors, and they take advantage of her. Ross buys Phoebe a bike and teaches her how to ride it.
The One With Joey's New Brain- Joey tells one of the Days of Our Lives actors that she is being written out of the show.
The One With Ross and Monica's Cousin- Cassie, their cousin, comes for a visit distracting all the guys. Joey has an audition which requires him to be uncircumsised.
The One With All the Cheesecakes- Rachel and Chandler enjoy eating the cheesecake of their neighbor.
The One With Chandler and Monica's Wedding- Chandler goes missing on the eve of their wedding, and someone finds out she is pregnant. Of course, Chandler and Monica are happily married by minister Joey. This season was absolutely more realistic than most seasons because of the wedding jitters the couple deal with. Season 7 is very hilarious, moving, and just plain sweet. Plus, there are the special features including the producers' commentary, gag reel, and the trailer for the Emmy-winning Season 8. This season cannot be missed! If you have not started your collection yet, this is a great season to start with.

Summary: Simply The Best
Review: Friends is that rare show that doesn't go overboard in being too sweet and saccharine, but rather does a fine job of being honest to what its about - friendship. This seventh season is a brilliant one - the characters are all in top form. My personal favorite is Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe - she is just so ditzy, but with heart. I love this show and hope they come out with my favorite season, number 8, as soon as possible. Great Buy!

Summary: First Time Viewer
Review: I have never really watched a Friends episode but considering all the positive buzz around the series I decided to catch up with it. I definitely don't regret this purchase. The Seventh Season of this show is really excellent comedy - realistic no, but EXTREMELY funny. I have instantly become hooked to this show and will catch it syndication for sure.

Summary: Overhyped
Review: Without a doubt the most overrated, piece of garbage series ever. Whiney, insecure wanna be "yuppies" living in New York. Enough said. Save your money.
