Summary: A Must-Have DVD !!
Review: This DVD is the biggest marketing action I've ever seen : Warner has decided to release the Friends Series Finale onto DVD, just 5 days after its airing on NBC !But it's not because it's to make money that it's not good !! ;-). Indeed, every Friends Fan will want to own this Exclusive Limited Edition of the #1 comedy of the 90s, to watch it again and again ! Because, first of all, it's a collector item, that every real Friends fan should have, and second of all, because, it seems that Warner has decided to slow down the releases of the Compelte Seasons on DVD, according to some sources, and as a matter of fact, as already 2 seasons have been released so far in 2004 (the 6th and the 7th season), only one left could come out this year (the 8th) rather between September and December 2004. So, this would mean that the deluxe 4-Dsic set of The Complete Tenth Season wouldn't be released until 2005 ! So, this Limited Edition DVD will enable the fans to wait until the release of the entire season ! But, let's go back to the "collector item" thing if you doubt to buy this DVD... Collector because of :
- The packaging which does very collector-ish
- The number of DVDs produced (available for a limited time only !)
- And last but not least great bonus features ! Here's what this Special DVD is due to offer :
. The 2 parts Series Finale, including [Never]-[Before]-[Seen]-[Footage]
. The Series Pilot, also including [Never]-[Before]-[Broadcasted]-[Moments] (which are included on The Complete First Season DVD)
. "I'll Be There For You" Music Video featuring the Rembrandts
. "Phoebe Battles the Pink Robots" Music Video, featuring the Flaming Lips and directed by Kevin Bright
. A montage of the opening credits, which shows the progression of the series through the opening theme song from each season. That's right : all that on only one DVD, for such a cheap prize ! A Must-Have DVD I tell you !(...) And, what about what happens in the Series Finale ? Well, nothing is really sure yet and anyway, I won't reveal it here if some of you haven't seen the 10th season yet. Let's just say that Monica and Chandler finally see their dream to have a baby come true and that Ross and Rachel must finally end up together again.... Anyway, as the executive producers swore it : "The show will end with an happy destiny for each friend." That's all we want after all for our best buddies, what they deserve the best.

Summary: A fanantic since the show started!
Review: I absoultly love this show. I am going to be confused on what to replace my favorite show with after this one ends. It is sad to see this show is ending. The rating below me(Viewer from New York)actually mad me laugh. If this person doesn't like the show, then why does he/she bother to leave an "essay" on the why he/she thinks the show sucks. Personally, this person doesn't have a sense of humor, a passion for anything, and no life. These actors are extremely talented people and this viewer is just jealous that they make so much from this show. They were paid so much an episode because they were awesome. In my opinion, I think that his/her comment is false. He/she was just pulling false facts out of their ass and then using them to raise their intellect. Cute, but nice try. These people will be famous till the day they die and it is because of this show.

Summary: This DVD is worthless!
Review: Let me first say that I am a big fan of Friends. I bought this DVD today because I was under the impression that the "extended version" of the final episode would be better. Well, truth be told, I only noticed about 5 minutes of new material on the DVD. This was hardly worth the $10. The "several other bonus features" as described in Amazon's Editorial description were virtually non-existant. There was the music video for the Friends theme, and a retrospect of the show intros over the years. Ooooooh. Big deal. The "extended version" didn't have any real extras, and it was barely worth watching. I'm very disappointed with my purchase. (Also, it's not so "limited" of an edition. Meijer stores alone have 50,000 copies and they only operate in 5 states. You do the math.) If you already saw the broadcast, save your money. You're not missing much.

Summary: Great for Fans
Review: I am a fan of Friends. My husband and I own seasons 1-10 on DVD and this season finale is a welcome inclusion. The final episode ended just the way it should have and satisfied its faithful fans in my opinion. The hour special before the final episode was FANTASTIC. A great montage of photos, video clips, and music. I highly recommend this DVD.

Summary: Special Features Not So Special
Review: I loved the series finale! That said, I agree that the DVD disappoints. The producers, creators, and writers spent 10 years focusing on and responding to audience reaction - what happened?!? The 10 Years of Beginnings would have gotten a better reaction from this audience if it had been the piece that aired prior to the finale instead of 10 years worth of opening credits! Actually, all of the DVDs in the Friends series have disappointed me with the lack of cast commentary/bloopers, etc. The Special Features on this limited edition DVD and all of the season DVDs could have been awesome instead of mediocre. But hey, I'm grateful to have the DVDs to relive those classic moments now that Friends has come to an end.

Summary: Do not buy
Review: If you rely on closed captioning, DO NOT BUY this DVD. They have failed to provide closed captioning, and the customer service in regards of refunding me for this DVD has also been terrible.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I was so excited to get the "Friends Finale" DVD to have for my collection of DVDs. Was very disappointed that the DVD did not include the "10 Years of Friends" with the snippets of different shows throughout the 10 years (what they showed on TV as the first hour before the actual finale of the show). I could have done without the "10 Years of Beginnings" on the DVD; what a waste of space on the DVD. Who wants to watch 10 versions of the beginning of the "Friends" sitcom? Definitely not me. I seriously do not think that the "Friends Finale" DVD was worth the money that I spent on it!!

Summary: Finale was good, but not this DVD
Review: Buy this DVD only if you missed the final episode or like watching the last episode (nothing else). I was very disappointed in the features it DIDN'T include. I thought the 10 yrs of beginings was the first hour of the two hour aired finale where it showed the episode montages of all the different Friends characers. Who wants to watch 10 yrs worth show beginings with the Rembrants singing the same song over and over?? How stupid of an idea to put that on there. I watched them through once and was even more angry that this was the only extra they could think to put on the DVD. Come on! $10.00 is not worth the DVD for just the Finale and no features. You would thing they would have made the DVD something more special considering it was the FINAL episode. That said, I love the shows and loved the Final episode, just was very dissappointed with the DVD content. I would have been more satisfied recording the stuff on my VCR. The actual show airing had more content than the DVD.

Summary: What? No extras?!
Review: The producers of Friends know how the sitcom is loved, but how come they didn't include extras? Surely fans want to know how things are done behind the set, the actors' personal feelings about the end of an era, etc. I'm glad I was able to buy a DVD with the special segment "The One Before the Last One" (aired before the Finale, but wasn't on the Finale DVD). Bought it from jaeho@treble.org.
