Summary: Actually this season has more than Ross and Rachel kissing
Review: I am still not at the point where I can recognize the bonus footage included in "Friends: The Complete Second Season" on DVD, but I can tell that the second season was an overall improvement on the first, despite the fact that the series did not put its best foot forward with "The One After the Super Bowl Pars 1 & 2" (thumbs up on Julia Roberts, both thumbs down on Brooke Shields and Jean-Claude Van Damme). Obviously getting Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) to the point where they would actually kiss was a key dynamic, but what made this a better season was that Monica (Courtney Cox) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc), the two weakest characters in the first season, were finally given something to do. For Monica it was a romance with Dr. Richard Burke (Tom Selleck), the old friend of the family, while Joey landed the unforgettable part of Dr. Drake Ramoray on "Days of Our Lives" and actually moves out of the apartment with Chandler. Chandler (Matthew Perry) continues to crack jokes to ease all the pain in his life and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) sings "Smelly Cat" for the first time, but even as background for most of these episodes they both steal their share of scenes.Best episodes from the Second Season: "The One with Ross' New Girlfriend," but because Phoebe gives Monica the wrong "Moore" style hair cut (Dudley instead of Demi) more than Rachel discovering Ross is now with Julie the paleontologist; "The One Were Heckles Dies," not only because the girl inherit his junk, but because Phoebe goes toe to toe with Ross on evolution; "The One With Ross Finds Out," where Rachel protests too much about being "over" Ross; "The One with the Prom Video" and the killer moment when Rachel finds out what she did not know way back when and discovers Ross is her "lobster"; "The One Where Eddie Moves In," where Adam Goldberg moves into Chandler's apartment and provides the best guest starring role of the season (plus the "Smelly Cat" video); "The One Where Old Yeller Dies" and Phoebe finds out why her moment never let her seen the end of the famous Disney doggie snuff film; "The One with the Bullies," where Chandler and Ross go to toe to toe with a couple of bullies over the couch at Central Perk; and "The One with Barry & Mindy's Wedding," where the focus might be on Rachel as maid of honor at her ex-fiance's wedding, but the pivotal point is Monica and Richard breaking up over the subject of children (cross apply the irony and poignancy to this season's adoption plot line forced by Arquette's real world problems conceiving: is there anyone on the planet that more people would like to see pregnant?). If the first season was a 4.0, then the second gets "Friends" up to 4.5. The justification for rounding up is the payoff to "The One with the Prom Video" (the kiss and not what Monica discovers her parents had put on the end of the videotape). "TV Guide" listed that as one of the Top 100 moments in television history, and it was not until Chandler's proposal to Monica turned out to really be a surprise that the series topped this one. If only Ross and Rachel did not go "on a break" during the next season, then things might have turned out differently.

Summary: Friends, my favorite show of all time!!
Review: Ahhh, the season where Ross and Rachel FINALLY become a couple! All through the 1st season, we witnessed Ross's many attempts to express his feelings for Rachel. In this season, Ross and Rachel become a couple, but it wasn't easy for them to get there. At the beginning of this season, Ross meets a woman named Julie, who is his girlfriend for the first couple of months and Rachel shows her jealously throughout Ross and Julie's relationship. Ross breaks up with Julie when he discovers that Rachel has feelings for him. But Ross does something that angers Rachel to the very core of her being; he makes a list that compares her and Julie. Rachel finds out about the list and blows off Ross for a couple of months. Then Rachel views a video of her and Monica going to senior prom. Rachel's date is late, so Monica's father suggests Ross take Rachel to the prom. Ross didn't think it was a very good idea, but he goes along with it anyways. But, when Ross is upstairs getting ready, Rachel's date shows up, leaving Ross heartbroken. Rachel never knew about this until she sees the prom video. As soon as the video is over, Rachel kisses Ross and they finally become a couple. This is also the season where Monica meets and falls in love with the man of her dreams. But their romance is short-lived due to a serious matter. This is defintely a great DVD to add to your Friends collection. Hope you enjoy!!

Summary: So when were you....under me?
Review: The title of this review is just one of the great lines in the second season, or for that matter any season of Friends. Friends is a unique show in that even when they have an episode that [stinks] compared to other Friends episodes, it is great compared to other shows. I can say that I have never seen an episode I did not find enjoyable, especially this season. Joey moving out and eventually moving back in provide 3 hilarious episodes with Eddy, Chandlers new roommate. There of course are the ones with Ross and Rachel getting together which are classics and partly the reason a lot of people even watch Friends. Anyway, enough rambling, I have some Friends to watch. You should too.

Summary: I am the number 1 fan of friends and you can't say you are!
Review: OMG! I am the number 1 fan of friends. I've seen all the episodes over 20 times, I know practically all the words to all the episodes. I also know all the small details that most people don't like that Rachel's parents payed 40,000$ for the wedding with Barry. Also that Ross is alergic to kiwi. And that Chandler got bit by a peacock at the zoo. Oh and also that Joey has a bed time penguin pal called Hugzie. How many of you know that hu? You seriouslly HAVE to buy this DVD! Friends is the best show that ever walked the planet and I am TOTALLY obsessed.

Summary: things that matters
Review: The Show runs human emotions at some fine scale that you don't even realize how fine and caring they are (unless you get to experience them first-hand as each episode progresses). I tend to get messed up, I laugh, I cry, I startle...The highlight of the season may well be the one with Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross (David Schwimmer) getting together; here as elsewhere even the most "life-threatening" or perhaps "serious" issues become resolvable with little human touch and gesture.

Summary: Lack of chapters upsetting
Review: The episodes are great, and I love the fact that it will play all the episodes straight through, but there are no individual chapters in each episode. If you try to skip to the next chapter, you go to the next episode. Therefore, you have to fast-forward through the entire episode if there is a specific part you want to see. The lack of effort in creating the dvds is obvious.

Summary: What do you expect?
Review: If you love "Friends," you'll love this collection. Before I purchased Season 1 and Season 2 on DVD, I bought "The Best of Friends." Some of the better episodes aren't on the "Best" but the complete season DVDs leave nothing out.
The only improvement I would make is to add some better extras-perhaps with the cast and some deleted scenes. Otherwise, you know what you're getting if you are a fan of the show.

Summary: We watch our Freinds continue their journey
Review: Many celebrities make guest appearances on the second season after they had such high aclaim the first season it seemed impossible to top it. But the second season was just as good if not better than the first season of friends. We watch as Monica deals with the love of an older man, Joey gets a job on Days of Our Lives, Chandler makes is corny jokes, Pheobe is clueless but not and Ross and Rachel try together but they can becuase of many problems. It's the journey through these six characters that makes it so interesting to watch because we can all relate to one or more of them. Bottomline: Freinds season 2 is the next thing to get after season 1.

Summary: Great Collection
