Friends - The Complete First Seven Seasons (7-Pack)

Rating:
Summary: sure to be a classic...in fact, already kinda is
Review: "Friends" was billed late in its career as the greatest television comedy series of all time. This is highly debatable. Nonetheless, it certainly holds its place in pop culture, speaking to thousands of the 20-something (and eventually 30-something) generation Xers who found themselves unsure about what life had to offer after college in the early 1990s. For those who have lived in a cave for the past decade, "Friends" is about three men and three women who live/date/work/play in New York City. The show's foundation is the uniqueness of its characters -- a nerdy scientist, a struggling actor, and an internet geek (the three men) -- and a waitress/chef, hippie, and unemployed-daddy's-little-girl (for the women). Sure, the characters seem a little cliche, but "Friends" had one of the best writing teams on television, so they made the situation seem somehow fresh. The quality of the show did decrease over time, as "Friends" stayed on the air for about three or four seasons more than it should have. The story lines slowly became stretched, forced, more unbelievable, and even downright corny. But still, at least the first six seasons are near perfect, and even the rest of them are enjoyable for any generation.

Summary: To both of the reviewers below
Review: "Friends" went off the air but they still show it in syndication (TBS, WB, etc.). It's good to get the whole pack because each season has extra DVD features and all of the episodes are shown in their entirety (also with deleted scenes).

Summary: Friends that stayed too long.
Review: Did you ever have "Friends" that came over and stayed too long? These did. I know I'm in the minority when I say this but,I'm glad it's over! But is it really over? No! I'm pretty sure they signed a contract to run this thing until the year 3000(on every channel.) To be fair,I honestly tried to like this show when it first came on. I actually watched a few shows but I didn't care about Ross and Rachael. I just found it mind numbingly boring. I tried to find the humor when NBC renamed Wednesday "Friendsday" I just couldn't. I did find it interesting how much time was spent covering the series finale. When it went off I expected to hear thunder claps and trumpets blaring signaling the end or something. But it was just the end of a series and not even a good one. Oh well,all I can say is I'm glad these "Friends"went home.

Summary: One of the Best Sitcoms Ever!
Review: Friends is a very good sitcom and the fact that it still remained on NBC's primetime lineup for ten seasons says something about how popular this show was and now that they are no longer making new episodes it is nice to have this show on DVD. It is true that you can watch reruns for free on TBS and other TV stations but they cut out footage to add more time for commercials and the episodes are unedited and commercial free on these DVDs and I think it's worth buying but I just wish that buying the seasons of Friends on DVD in one package had been an option when I first started buying the complete season DVD boxsets!

Summary: If you're a fan, this is a must!
Review: Here you go! All seven seasons of Friends on DVD!
Chances are though, if you are a big follower of Friends, you'll have noticed that each time a new season comes out, they realease all the seasons up to that point.
So, if you're planning on buying all of them no matter what, and you want to do it all at once, you could just wait until all ten seasons are available in a big collector's pack. Or just get this one now and buy the last three as they are released.
Any way you decide to do it, the price evens out. And all of them have the same features. That being said, this is a great set of laughs, and a great study of television genius. Enjoy!

Summary: LOVE IT.
Review: Hey, whatever it is, even it is... it is a good collection, and I believe really good value for money, compared to buying them all individually like I did. Anyway, to each his own... I like to own it and be at liberty to watch it whenever I want. You gain a new perspective when you watch all the episodes together, rather than watching them in disjointed half hour slots. I LOVE friends, so what can I say?

Summary: Cheaper Individually
Review: I agree, the complete seasons of Friends on DVD is a must for any fan. Even though they are on cable in re-runs, it is still nice to have them all in their complete form.
But I do have to say, if you add up the totals of each set individually here at amazon.com, the total is cheaper than the set of all 7 seasons together ($210 versus the $220 price of this set). So in my opinion, buy the boxed sets, but by them each individually, it will save you some money!!

Summary: Growing up with FRIENDS
Review: I think it's a good deal having all these seasons in one whole compilation, every person has it's own Friend's character, it's really sad that the curtain falls for the last time, anyway that's where this dvd comes in handy, can't wait for the last 3 season to come up.
