Summary: I AM SO F**KING GLAD THIS SHOW ENDED
Review: "Friends" is gone, and I can't be much happier. I swear to God, that show is not funny. Funny is The Simpsons or South Park or even King Of The Hill. The background laughter is just a voicebox. No one's laughing at this retarded show. Well, maybe the preps. I am far from being a prep.

The show has sucked from the beginning. I'm going to take all my friend's copies of this show and start a bonfire. All nine seasons available will suffer a painful death. Suffer!

Summary: Took them long enough...
Review: ...To realize that they needed to release "complete seasons of" box set DVDs here in the US too, and not just in the UK! Finally all US resident "Friends" fans are getting what they want and what they need. If you've been keeping track of all the "Friends" episodes since season 1, then you should have some sort of a clue on what will be included in this box set: every single episode of season 1, and I am sure there will be some great special bonus features added to it. It's kind of unfair that the UK already has the complete seasons box sets up to season eight...and they haven't even released season one here in the United States! So if you really cannot wait, then you can probably order every single complete season of "Friends" on the UK version of Amazon.com. "Friends" is the best comedy show on TV! It's been the best since it first aired and still rules! It's a clever show, about six friends living in New York City and dealing with the everyday problems of life. Joey and Rachel are my favorite characters--and I'd think they'd make a great couple!... I just love "Friends" and I can't get enough of it. My favorite episode from the first season is "The One With The Ick Factor", where Monica dates a guy who thinks he's a senior in college but, while they are "doing it", he confesses that he's actually a senior in high school! I also love the very first episode, of course, as does most fans of "Friends" do. For all "Friends" fans, of course I'd recommend this! It's better than THE BEST OF FRIENDS collection because even though they only show episodes from season one, it's every single episode and not just the most popular ones polled by "Friends" fans...

Summary: Friends is the best show ever!!
Review: Ahhh, where it all started. The first line of dialogue is "There's nothing to tell". Rachel makes a dramatic entrance into the Friends' lives when she comes into the coffee house as a dripping wet bride. Ross just discovered his wife was a lesbian and she was planning to move in with her lover. Joey is just same old Joey, goofy and fun-loving. Chandler and his wacky stories, at the beginning of the first episode, he was telling the gang he had a dream that he was back in high school, butt-naked and there was a phone 'down there'. We learn Phoebe had a ex-boyfriend named Carl who ate chalk. At the end of the first episode, Ross asks Rachel out, but nothing ever came of it. As the debut season goes on, Rachel tries to quit Central Perk, but fails, Ross tries to get over Carol, but that doesn't work either, Rachel falls for an Italian hottie named Paolo, but he hits on Phoebe, which ends his and Rachel's relationship, Chandler gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre, Joey gets a part in a movie as Al Pacino's butt double, Monica falls for a guy 8 years younger than her, Barry (the man Rachel was supposed to marry), comes back in an episode and tells Rachel he still loves her, and Ross many times Ross tries to tell Rachel his true feelings for her, but something always got in the way. As you can see, there are many exciting events that occur in the first season, but there is only one way to find out what else happens. This is one of my favorite DVDs in the Friends collection. This DVD is defintely a great buy. Hope you enjoy it!!

Summary: disgraceful,distusting,dispicabal
Review: AND NOW STORYTIME:

A few decades ago, on a planet called earth, there was a thing called television,and certian shows called comidies, which would make people laugh. Shows like The Honeymooners,Monty Python's Flying Circus (hilarious). There were even more recent shows, such as Mystery Science theature 3000, and my personal favorite The Simpsons.

Then in the mid nineties, storm clouds gathered, as six, brainless, and uninspired, so called actors, started a show called "Friends". No, it wasn't Adam and Eve who screwed us, it was the cast of Friends. To see Friends beat the Twilight Zone in a race for TV Guides 50 greatest shows of all time,by about 15 other shows, makes me want to puke my guts out.

Lets just hope some brave soul sets a fire to the remaining unrealesed dvd's for the benifiet of us all.

These people are payed millions to act like the children. I'd rather watch Nick at Night,till I explode from rage.Comedy these days isn't at all funny. You can find about 10 shows that will cause you to laugh more that 10 times.

I wish that there were only about 5 chanels that had decent half-ass situation comedy, than to have so many.

------------------------------------Don't buy this, or anything related to it, even if you were at gunpoint.---------------------

Summary: THE BEST SHOW EVER IS NOW THE BEST SET OF 4 DVDS EVER!
Review: FACE IT: Friends is the best show that there ever was. Now you can own the 1st season! So many great moments happen in that first season. The One With The Thumb is one of my favorite episodes of all times. It is the 3rd episode of Friends. Phoebe's bank gives her an extra $500 and from that she ends up with $7000, until she gives it to Chandler so he'll stop smoking. It's a very funny episode. This is also the season where we meet Janice. Yeah, she's right there from the start. We'll continue seeing her all the way through the next 9 seasons. In the Pilot episode, Ross asks Rachel if it MIGHT be OKAY if he MAYBE asks her OUT SOMETIME. She says, "Yeah. MAYBE." So Ross first "grabs a spoon" and Ross and Rachel begin their "lobster" journey in this delightful season. ...

Summary: Friends = life... kinda depressing huh?
Review: Friends is a show rich in promoting morals and values to the American populous. Sit back and hold on for a laugh fest as they point out such hilarious situations as divorce, homosexuality, jealousy, sluttiness, dating and sleeping with people underage... The hilarity doesn't stop there, watch each person in friends represent a different worldview where they all basically lead pointless lives... wow what a great premise for a comedy. They all come back to the coffee shop and share in the goodness of these funny situations like cheating, divorce, non-commital relationships... man I can't stop laughing... woo eee. What a great show, if they only had a monkey then it would be even zanier... o wait.. they did... wow this show has got everything! Cheap sex, pointless lives, failed attempts to understand love... and a MONKEY... WOW!

what can I say!

"Rachel leaves her fiance at the altar"
" Ross' ex-wife moves out"
"Monica has a date with the wine guy, who she sleeps with."
"Joey tricks Monica into helping him get back together with an ex-girlfriend"
"Chandler dates a woman who's married and has a boyfriend"
"Chandler discovers that women often think he is gay."
"Monica and Phoebe compete over a comatose guy."
"Joey finds out his father's having an affair."
"Monica discovers her boyfriend is in highschool."
-- and thats just the first season... woo eee...

gather your kids around for this show.. to teach them what life is all about! The wonderfulness of the meaningless of life they promote... and yea.. lets steer clear of all of that truthful Christianity stuff... I mean, its only extremely logical, has a firm real foundation, eyewitness accounts, real life changing experiences, an infalible book that they follow, and can easily be proven to be divine in nature. Yea, lets keep away from all of that moral and truth containing stuff... so we can continue basking in the glory of what's life really about, our self centered failed attempts at love and the comfort we feel when we understand that its okay to cheat, have one night stands and have a crush on a person because of the great sex we have, I mean yea... its all one big joke anyways right? I mean friends made fun of it, and so there for, life... well its not important... so Ya! for friends.... boo for truth....

Summary: Endless joy!
Review: FRIENDS is fantastic. A reviewer called Janitor-X said everything here is commercial, produced only to make money. Ok, I agree. Sports, movies, TV shows, profit is behind them all, the ratings are the Gods. But, anyway, if you don't have quality you will not sell for a long time, I guess...Also, by purchasing the DVD set, you will NOT watch the advertising!

I began to watch FRIENDS renting some episodes, I live outside the U.S., and here in my country FRIENDS is aired on cable-TV, and I never had payed much attention to them or any sitcoms in general. Now, I'm totally "addicted". The episodes all are acessible tor epeated views, it's amazing.

So why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5? Because, for a DVD set with such glorious packaging, the amount of extras is close to none. There is no cast interview, no staff interview, no making off, almost nothing!
