Summary: You can't go wrong with Friends DVDs
Review: As a huge fan of the show Friends, I just had to get FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE SEVENTH SEASON on DVD when it came out. I own the first seven seasons, and they are some of the best DVDs I own.

Funniest episodes of FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE SEVENTH SEASON are:
*The One with Phoebe's Cookies - Any episode with a story based on Phoebe's childhood/family is going to be hilarious, and this one doesn't disappoint. Phoebe's grandma left her the recipe to her top-secret, best-ever chocolate chip cookies, but Phoebe loses the recipe in a fire. Her and Monica go on a mission to recreate the cookies, which ends up with a hilariously ironic conclusion. My favorite episode of the season.
*The One where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs - When Phoebe tries to hide a dog in Monica and Chandler's apartment, the gang finds out Chandler's big secret: he hates dogs. This is one of those episodes that you can quote over and over again, with hilarious bits of dialogue (such as: "You don't like ice cream?" "It's too cold!").
*The One with the Holiday Armadillo - All the holiday episodes of Friends are great, and this one is one of the best. Ross wants to teach Ben about Chanukah, and he decides to dress up to make Ben more interested. Somehow he ends up dressed as a giant armadillo, which is worth a ton of laughs.

Every episode on FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE SEVENTH SEASON is hilarious. You get to see Chandler and Monica get married, Monica becomes known as the "candy lady," and everyone turns 30/talks about their thirtieth birthdays.

Overall grade - A

Summary: The worst season until then...
Review: Fans tend to be totally biased towards their favorite shows. FRIENDS is not differente. To rate this season five stars is a real absurd! This is where something "cracked": the histories are simply not so good, the plot are sometimes indeed BAD. I don't know what happened, but something happened (including David Schwimmer directing a lot of episodes.. ..like if he was giving some emergency help).

This is really the worst sason of the first seven seasons. Only a blind man would not see it!

Summary: Like catching up with old friends.
Review: Warner Brothers has delivered a nice package in the Season 7 Friends DVDs but it could have more. The episodes aired completely uncut with added footage are enjoyable, and the gag reel is fun. The commentaries are my favorite, they provide such great insight into the 'heart' of the show and what it was to create it. I only wish we could've gotten a commentary by any of the cast members, particulary Jennifer, who did such a great one on "The Good Girl". However, Marta Kauffman, Kevin Bright and David Crane are just as good.

The rest of the set lacks in subtance. Screen tests, storyboards, interviews & original scripts would have been welcome additions. Friends was such a phenomenon on television, its a shame to not see more promotional material and behind-the-scenes bits. Perhaps on the 10th season DVD?

I bought the set for the episodes because they are the core of the show. The funny, the dramatic, the silly. The moments we know so well. And there are plenty of them..from Joey's new role, to Monica's thunder to Rachel's sapphic experience, they're all here.

Summary: Downhill
Review:

This is pretty good, but not up to the standards of previous seasons. I think the 7th season is the first that wasn\t better than the season that was before it. It's still one of the best, but this was the begining of the downhill slide for Friends. At least in my opinion.

Summary: Friends: The Complete Seventh Season (2000-2001)
Review: This season picks up on the night Monica and Chandler got engaged. They all plan to go out to The Ritz for drinks, in celebration of Monica and Chandler's love. But while everyone is in the midst of getting dressed, Monica finds Rachel and Ross kissing each other passionately, right outside Monica's apartment. The kiss was initiated by a little flirtation between the two. Monica becomes angered, for she feels that Rachel is trying to steal Monica's thunder.

Meantime, Rachel, who has been working at Ralph Lauren for almost two years now, has been made an executive in her department. Not only is she a big exec, she has also been made part of the hiring team, where she is allowed to hire an assistant for herself. She has two interviews for the job. The first is a woman named Hilda, who is more than qualified for the job. Rachel is considering giving the job to Hilda, until she meets her second interview: Tag Jones. Tag is 25 year old inexperienced business office worker, but Rachel is completely breathtaken by his naturally good looks. She ponders over it with Chandler and Phoebe, who tell her that the right thing to do is to hire Hilda because she is qualified for the job. But hires Tag instead. Phoebe meets Tag and is a little surprised at Rachel, where she tells her that because he is now her assistant, she cannot get involved with him. Meantime, Monica and Chandler discuss how it is important to tell each other their secrets. Chandler tells Monica how Ross had a certain accident while on Space Mountain in Disney World. Monica decides to Ross finds out about Monica knowing, leading Ross to tell Monica that, while he and Ross were in a bar, back in college, Chandler met a woman and began kissing her. It is revealed that it wasn't a woman, but a man.

In another episode, while working in her restaurant's kitchen, Monica runs into none other than...Janice. They catch up on how they are doing until Janice spots the ring on Monica's finger. Monica tells Chandler about who she ran into. Monica reveals that Janice is dating a guy named Clark and that, "...she also kind of invited herself to the wedding.". Chandler gets upset, but Monica didn't know what to do. Chandler says that it would have been much easier to lie. Monica reveals that he can lie to her on Saturday night because he and Monica are going to dinner with Janice and Clark. They try to stop her from coming to the wedding by telling her that no friends are invited and that it is strictly family. But Janice twists that around in thinking that they consider her to be family. Later, Janice stops by and asks to spend the night with them, for she is touched at thinking that they look at her as family. But Monica finally gets her to leave the apartment and not show up at the wedding by lying in saying that Chandler still has feelings for her. Meanwhile, Joey has a one-night stand with a girl named Erin. He has Rachel tell her that he is not looking for a relationship, but Rachel and Phoebe warms up to her. Rachel and Phoebe persuade Joey to give her a chance, for they really like Erin.

On Thanksgiving, Rachel invites Tag over, for he had just broken up with his girlfriend. She figures that this may be her chance to tell Tag how she feels about him. She finally tells him out on the terrist, but he finds that his car is being stolen. Phoebe reveals that she has a dog in her room named Clunkers. The dog belongs to a couple of friends of Phoebe's and she volunteered to watch him, while they were on vacation, but Chandler reveals that he is afraid of dogs. Chandler has also taught the gang a game, where you have to try and write down all 50 states in six minutes. That does not sound like a problem, but here's the catch, you have to write them down from memory. Ross tries it and gets all 50, but Chandler finds that Ross forget four states, where he tells Ross that if he does not figure out the last four states, he gets no dinner. Rachel and Tag talk about their conversation, leading them into a dating relationship.

The season ends with Monica and Chandler's wedding. Chandler's much mentioned, but never before-seen, father, Charles Bing is invited to the wedding. Chandler takes off in fear of getting married. Ross finds him and helps him feel better, but Chandler finds out from Rachel and Phoebe that Monica is pregnant. Monica reveals that she is not, but who is? Who is pregnant? ...Rachel.

Buy the complete seventh season and you'll find yourself getting a seventh surgery, repairing your split sides. You'll all enjoy it.

Summary: The Absolute Worst
Review: I love Friends. I really do. But whenever I happen across Season 7 being rerun on TV, I shudder. This was the worst, most disappointing season ever. Monica became the shrill, silly and nagging wife-to-be of Chandler, whose face, in this season, looks strangely mechanical. Compare Chandler in # 7 to the character in past seasons: where is the sarcasm, the quick wit, the all-around humor? Is it any wonder that this season was the lowest rated one on TV out of all ten? The plots were boring, the actors seemingly uninterested.

Don't throw away your money.

Summary: One of the greatest season of one of the greatest show.
Review: Some people may consider season seven to be a weaker season because it's the only season that's not focused as much on Ross and Rachel as it is on Chandler and Monica. The main focus is the buildup to the wedding, which involves buying cheap wedding dresses, a maid of honor, an uninvited (gasp!) Janice, and famous tuxes. There are many episodes not about the wedding including, in my opinion, the BEST episode of season seven: The One Where They All Turn Thirty. Of course (Spoiler warning of season eight) there HAS to be some Rachel and Ross. We find out in the last episode that sometime during season seven Ross and Rachel sleep together and conceive (accidentally) Emma.
All in all, I would consider season seven to be a great season of Friends with great special features.
