Summary: UNREALISTIC FLUFF
Review: What's all the fuss with this darn show? Please...average network sitcom fluff. Tired writing, cheesy gaglines, and recycled plots. And this gets acclaim? Please six plastic yuppies drinking coffee and making smark comments. So riveting.
And please, someone explain to me: Where in the heck are the people of color on this show if they "live" in New York City????
Oh, non-whites don't live in New York and drink coffee? Racist, sexist, unintelligent sitcom fare. Simpleton fans will eat this DVD up but it's a mere coaster for REAL thinkers.
I must be an enemy of "Friends"!

Summary: What this country is coming to...
Review: Its a sad state of affairs when a show like this becomes a phenom. What does it tell you about the taste of a large number of Americans? This is one of the most wretched shows to ever have been aired. I've really tried to get into this show but just can't stand to watch it for even 5 minutes. I don't know anybody as stupid and annoying as the characters of Friends and don't think I want to. While I'm sure the DVD quality is top-notch I would consider extensive dental surgery more appealing than this so called hit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great Friends Collection
Review: This collection is better than the first one. It contains all second season episodes. The special features could still be better but they are stepped up a little bit. There is optional commentary for the episodes, The One With The List and The One With The Prom Video, as opposed to just the commentary on one episode from season one. Like the first season's look into Central Perk, there is an interactive view of Monica and Rachel's apartment. There is a quiz on how well you know your Friends and after completing the quiz, Phoebe's Smelly Cat music video plays. There is Friends of Friends which shows clips of guest stars that appeared during season 2. A new feature is What's Up With Your Friends? This shows clips of each of the main six characters. Not a great feature, but some of the best clips are included. P>Season Two of Friends has many key episodes, such as when Ross and Rachel get together, Richard is introduced, and Joey moves out. The factors of no commercials, extra footage seamlessly edited into all the episodes and some special features added to all the great episodes of season two are enough to make any Friends fan buy this collection.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boy oh boy!! Just what this country needs
Review: ...Another installment of the whinny boring misadventures of the biggest bunch of losers since Thirtysomething. Another group of clueless TV morons that you wouldn't want to be caught dead on the same planet with.

Can I give this MINUS 5 STARS?

This is highely recommended to anyone who loves friends! I cannot wait to get season 2, mainly because they don't show much of season 2 on television anymore. ^^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: must be good
Review: I'm really curious and I really want to see what is different and added on this DVD.
I live in Europe and all the episodes (not uncut) which were shown on TV were released on VHS and DVD, so I've seen all the episodes from every season including season 8 about too many times and I'm a really big fan of the show. Unfortunately, I can't play an American DVD (region 1) on my DVD player so I'll have to watch my Friends collection again and I'll probably never know how the new DVD is like with all the special features and uncut scenes. But I'm sure that season two (and season one) will be very good because Friends is the best sitcom ever! It really [stinks] that you had to wait 8 years for this but I'm sure that it will be worth waiting for!
And a little message for Andy Radke: Your list with all the episodes of season two is not completely correct, you switched the last two episodes, TOW The Chicken Pox is episode 23 and TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding is episode 24...
I can only imagine how it will be but I'm sure it's going to be really good. So all you Friends fans: enjoy it, it's going to be great!

Review: With their release of Season 1, only a few months back, F.R.I.E.N.D.S are ready to release their dvd box set of season 2 episodes on September 3rd! The fun and laughter continues in this season too as we see the relationships between our favorite friends, and their day to day adventures in nyc :-) Starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, "Friends" have come a long with, with the release of their 9th season this fall.

"Friends" won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy Series in its first season, and has since won twice more as Favorite Comedy Series.

Below are the episodes which are featured on season 2. I have not mentioned the episodes in detail since they might give away a few happenings on the show, which are enjoyed while watching the show itself :) Here's a glimpse of what you will see though...

Summary: Time For the Second Serving of Everyone's Favourite Comedy
Review: With 8 great seasons in the can with the 9th (and possibly final) season on the way, it's hard to disagree that "Friends" was, and is one of the most innovative shows to grace prime time television.

With the stellar ensemble cast we've all come to know and love (consisting of Courtney Cox-Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc), not to mention excellent storylines brought to us by the show's very talented writers, it's clear why this show remains the top prime time sitcom to date.

This set will feature all 24 episodes from the second season. All uncut and commercial free. Like the first, each episode will feature additional "never-before-seen" footage.

Season one was indeed jam-packed with special features and this set will indeed be no exception. With interesting tidbits and trivia about the show, not to mention optional commentary, it really is hard to complain. In my opinion, the episodes themselves make this set a value in itself.

I have compiled a list of all the episodes you will see in this season 2 set (in chronological order).

1. THE ONE WITH ROSS' NEW GIRLFRIEND
2. THE ONE WITH THE BREAST MILK
3. THE ONE WHERE MR. HECKLES DIES
4. THE ONE WITH THE FIVE STEAKS AND AN EGGPLANT
5. THE ONE WITH PHOEBE'S HUSBAND
6. THE ONE WITH THE BABY ON THE BUS
7. THE ONE WHERE ROSS FINDS OUT
8. THE ONE WITH THE LIST
9. THE ONE WITH PHOEBE'S DAD
10. THE ONE WITH THE PROM VIDEO
11. THE ONE WITH RUSS
12. THE ONE WITH THE LESBIAN WEDDING
13. THE ONE AFTER THE SUPERBOWL PART I
14. THE ONE AFTER THE SUPERBOWL PART II
15. THE ONE WHERE ROSS AND RACHEL....YOU KNOW
16. THE ONE WHERE JOEY MOVES OUT
17. THE ONE WHERE EDDIE MOVES IN
18. THE ONE WHERE DR. RAMORAY DIES
19. THE ONE WHERE EDDIE WON'T GO
20. THE ONE WHERE OLD YELLER DIES
21. THE ONE WITH THE BULLIES
22. THE ONE WITH THE TWO PARTIES
23. THE ONE WITH BARRY AND MINDY'S WEDDING
24. THE ONE WITH THE CHICKEN POX

There you have it. "Friends" has become a show that, even in syndication still remains hilarious. Anyhow, if you enjoyed the first season DVD set, there is no doubt in my mind that you'll love this as well. And for those of you who are unfamiliar with the older episodes (as I once was), then grab these sets and prepare to laugh.
