Summary: How interesting.....
Review: ...that they are releasing the final episode on DVD just a few days after it airs. Not that I am complaining...I just never saw this before. I am a huge Friends fan and I look forward to this special release. For those that are still wondering if all 10 seasons will be released, well, they will be. If you need immediate proof, click the 'United Kingdom' link at the bottom of your Amazon.com page. Then, search for 'Friends' DVD. You'll see that 9 seasons have already been released. Great news for ALL Friends fans. By the way, 2 million dollars per 30 second spot during the final episode? Hmm...I wonder if they'd accept credit cards.......

Summary: Friend The Series Finale
Review: I haven't actually seen this yet but I can't wait too! I must admit, and I think even the biggest friends fans will agree with me. It did get kinda borin near the end! Lets face it. On screen you never felt the connection between Joey and Rachael the way that she had it with Ross so I'm realy glad that the Joey and Rachael thing died out! By the 4th series everyone just wanted more and more friends but with the dissapointing 7th series I think everyone new that it had to end some day! The writers were just running out of ideas and the jokes, since the 8th series, aren't nearly as good as the earlier serie's ones. I found myself howling with laughter at chandler's jokes in the earlier series but as the series progressed I just found myself staring blankly at the tv screen giggling slightly at his sarcastic jokes and witty remarks! I have really enjoyed friends but lets face it IT HAD TO COME TO AN END ONE DAY

Summary: Why review something if you hate it?
Review: First of all, I'm NOT a regular FRIENDS viewer. I just don't care for it that much. It's a sitcom, and sitcoms don't develop their characters to a degree that I care about them. They are lighthearted, generic fare intended to be easily accessed for the casual viewer. Nothing deep, nothing meaningful or challenging. That's what a sitcom IS. By that standard, FRIENDS is a good one somewhere in the area between the excellence of CHEERS and early COSBY and the endearing but ultimately flawed EVERYONE LOVES RAYMOND's of the world.I actually only stumbled onto this DVD by mistake here. My question is why get fired up over a sitcom? Why take the time to come here and give it a one-star rating if you hate it? If it's that bad, why bother? You'd be much happier just letting it go.... Well, enough of my time. Goodbye!

Summary: Friends is NOT over rated!
Review: You think that this show is over rated? Why? I'm a child and I love this show! It isn't just a stupid sit-com, it is what I hope to become. I want to have five friends, girls and guys, that are this close. I want to live in my own apartment with my best friend and I want to be able to go to my friend's house and feel like it is my own. I am incredibly upset that friends is ending. It is truly something that gets me up when I am down. I do not only admire the show, but the actors and actresses that play theese famous roles. They gave up so much to be the characters on friends. They gave up being normal people to make America laugh. You may think this show is over rated, but I, and many many many other people do not. I will probably cry when the finalle is over. This is the best show on television.And further more, friends doesn't just make you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you think, and it makes you feel good to be alive.

Summary: They didn't have negative stars...
Review: ... hence, the 1 star. Sorry, but I'm so glad to see this show finally die. It's like this show is always stuck in second gear, and they hold out for more money, less episodes, year to year. Now, don't get me wrong... I USED to be a fan (gasp), but lately the plot lines of the show are getting as thin as the hairlines on the actors. I obviously haven't seen this finale, but I look forward to it as much as I'm looking forward to Joey's spinoff and the season finale of The O.C.

Summary: FRIENDS is not overrated
Review: Hi I am a huge fan of Friends. I understand there are some who do not enjoy the show, but come on. Overrated, PLEASE!! This show may not have always been number one but in the ratings it has always been in the top ten (since the begining). We know it had to end sometime but it truly is the end of an era. This is a great show to follow.

Summary: overrated? no. but why?
Review: First I am amazed at the lack of a life some people obviously have that they take the time to write a negative review of a show they obviously do not like. Why would they even be looking up Friends on a search in the first place. Sad people living sad hollow little lives indeed. Is the series overrated? I don't think so. It's solidly written and performed. And in 10 years fondness develops for the stories and characters. So why then would one bash it? Well, it is not realistic in any stretch. The NYC setting isn't portryed realistically. Probably since the show is filmed in Hollywood. That has been a complaint from the beginning. But when you take that out and just look at the writing and acting, and then look at almost every other show around today, you see why it has withstood the test of time. It works. It is fantasy and not to be taken as reality. So as a form of escapism -- which a sitcom should be by definition -- this is a crown jewel in television history. Did it break new ground like ALL IN THE FAMILY and MASH? No. Did it present itself as overblown pretention like SEINFELD? No. Did it retread a stand up comics limited routine like HOME IMPROVEMENT? No. It took 6 twenty somethings through the 1990s to present, showing them become thirty somethings in a fictionalized world that was no different than the I LOVE LUCY and OZZI AND HARRIET fictionalized look at the 50s and 60s, or the COSBY and FAMILY TIES view of the 80s. It will stand the test of time just like those others just for those reasons.

Summary: Another one who has to rate LOW !
Review: Hello to "A Viewer" from New York. You seem to know nothing about "Friends". By the way, Jennifer Aniston AND Lisa Kudrow do have an Emmy-Award ! The cast overall decided to quit the show, and they all were crying during the last episode shootings. So please, do think before you write such hasty things, this would truly be A BLESSING ! However, I bought this, because I'm a big fan of the show !! A snuffy Friends-Fan from Switzerland Daniel

Summary: 10 years of everything needed.............
Review: It started in 1994 and it has evolved into something so great. FRIENDS is something that can never be forgotten. The series was about the lives of 6 friends, Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey.... Many years passed and the characters changed. Monica and Chandler fell in love and got married. Ross and Rachel, Were together, broke up, Ross still thought of getting back with her, they got drunk and married, divorced again andseven had a child later..............but who knows what might turn out of the two in the last hour of FRIENDS. Phoebe went through many things and then got married to her Boyfriends Mike. Joey is still Joey... After these ten years of Laughter, tears and surprises, there will be nothing harder than to say good bye to the series. May 6th will be a legend after the last two hours are shown.......... Capture the legends in this DVD with the start and the end! A must-buy DVD for 2004. Don't only buy this, I would suugest you to buy the whole series' season 1-10 as well............I know I will.

Summary: OVERRATED
Review: Friends is one of the most overrated shows on TV. So what if it has been on for like 10 years. I mean sure there are some funny parts but in the end it is incredibaly overrated. The only reason it gets so much attention is because of the actors who are in it. I mean almost all of them are overrated except maybe Jennifer Aniston. If you want to watch a funny show watch The Simpsons, Family Guy, definatly check out Arrested Development which is one of the best shows that no one watches. And if you want to check out an excellent drama watch 24. It is one of the best shows on TV, it won best drama golden globe. FRIENDS IS OVERRATED, it will be forgotten in 5 years, it isnt even close to how good Seinfeld was. People will still remember Seinfeld in another 40 years, but not FRIENDS. It is just a chick-show that people cry over. I dont see why it is worth crying over.
