Summary: Great Discs To NOT Get
Review: I love FRIENDS and got these discs as a Christmas present when they first came out. The episodes are all very funny and the extra footage and special features are great. The problem is that they are all somebody else's favorite episodes. Not that there's anything wrong with these, but if it had been up to me some of the ones included would have been replaced by others.

That being the case, why would you want these discs when the full seasons are now available. If you're a fan of this series, skip these and get the full season discs. Then you can watch whichever episodes are YOUR favorites instead of somebody else's idea of the best episodes. If you're a casual fan or are just interested in a sampling of FRIENDS episodes, these discs are fine and I recommend them, but if you're really into the show, don't mess around -- get the full season discs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where can I find more than just the first episodes???
Review: I love friends. Tonights season finale, drives me insane, I just want Ross and Rachael together. But besides that I would love to own every episode. Where can I find more of the seasons? Have they even made any video's of them. If anyone has happened to record them please e-mail me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't get enough of Friends
Review: I purchased the Best of Friends DVD but this set is not good enough for me. I think that all episodes of this comedy is a riot, I love watching them over and over.

I am willing to spend whatever the cost will be just to get the complete series (anybody out there who would want to sell?).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great episodes for a "Friends" lover . . .
Review: I really like most of these episodes, in fact my two favorites are featured on the same DVD (The one where no one's ready, and the one with all the embryos). I wanted this gift for a long time, and i was very happy to get it. I love most of the episodes, but the one's i don't love are pretty good too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not so bad OK I think
Review: I think it was OK but not everyones gonna agree. Good plots, really some twists. And sometimes the dialog is so fast I have to say whoa hold up a second and use the reverse and replay. Thats whats great about DVD. The damn kids of mine said it was a lousy gift . But I enjoyed watching it. Especially Jennifer Aniston. Make sue you have the right DVD code. I am Harold McInnes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Friends
Review: I think it's great that they brought out the 10 best episodes chosen by fans, I have all 4 volumes & I'm hoping they will bring out more fav episodes taken from newer episodes

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Show - Great Cast
Review: I'm sure that it's not easy creating a hit show that people will love to watch. Especially when you have a group of 5 cast members that are relative unknown and turn them into household names. But that is what the producers, directors, and writers did over at Friends and they did a great job! Some of you out there that feel the need to make themselves feel better by putting others down obviously should really watch the show and learn a few things because it sounds like self esteem and courtesy were not taught in Waukesha, WI.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There needs to be a rating lower than 1 star for this!
Review: If you like "Friends," I hate to have to tell you this, but there are weeds rooted so deeply in your brain that if you pulled them they'd just grow back. This program is sort of a dumbed-down version of "Three's Company," based on the concept that no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. The producers of this program obviously don't think very highly of the viewers, and by golly, I have to agree with them. Hey, maybe those weeds wouldn't grow so high if you didn't fill your skull up with fertilizer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Collection
Review: If you love "Friends," and most people do, you need to get this collection. If you do not plan on buying every season of the show, then this collection has twenty of the most popular (and pivotal) episodes in the series with all their original footage, some of which had been edited out for TV. Even if you do plan on buying all the season sets, it will be awhile before they all get here, so this is a good collection to tide you over until they do. The format of the DVD's is great. You can play all of the episodes at once without have to go back to the menu after each episode, or you can watch one at a time. There are also some cool special features - a behind-the-scenes special and a feature on the trip to London. Here are episodes you will get on each volume, along with my personal grade on each (scale of 1 to 5):

Volume 1:
"Pilot" (3) Not my favorite episodes, but this is where it all started.

"The One with the Two Parts" (4) Joey dates Phoebe's twin sister; Monica and Rachel go out with two doctors (George Clooney and Noah Wyle).

"The One with All the Poker" (4) The girls want to play poker with the guys.

"The One Where Ross Finds Out" (3) Rachel leaves a drunken message for Ross, telling him that she is over him, leaving Ross confused.

"The One with the Prom Video" (4) Joey buys Chandler a friendship bracelet; Ross and Rachel finally get together.

Volume 2:
"The One Where No One's Ready" (5) Ross is giving a speech at a dinner and has trouble trying to get everyone ready to go. One of my personal favorites.

"The One with the Embryo's" (4) Phoebe decides to have her brother's baby; Rachel and Monica lose a bet and have to trade apartments with Joey and Chandler.

"The One with Ross's Wedding" (4) Everyone goes to London for Ross's wedding.

"The One with All the Thanksgivings" (5) My favorite holiday episode. Everyone remembers their worst Thanksgivings.

"The One Where Everybody Finds Out" (5) Phoebe finds out about Monica and Chandler.

Volume 3:
"The One with the Blackout" (3) There's a blackout in the city; Chandler gets trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre; Rachel meets Paulo when Ross is just about to make his move.

"The One with the Candy Hearts" (3) Chandler goes on a blind date that turns out to be Janice, and they get back together on Valentine's Day.

"The One Where Ross and Rachel...You Know" (3) Ross and Rachel go on their first date.

"The One with the Football" (3) Monica's and Ross's competitive natures come out when they play football on Thanksgiving.

"The One That Could Have Been" (4) The gang wonders what their lives would be like if they had done things differently. One full hour of Fat Monica and a whole new opening credit sequence.

Volume 4:
"The One with Chandler in a Box" (5) Another great Thanksgiving episode. Joey makes Chandler sit in a box to make up for stealing his girlfriend.

"The One Hundredth" (4) Phoebe gives birth to triplets.

"The One with All the Resolutions" (5) Everyone makes New Years' Resolutions.

"The One Where Ross Got High" (5) Yet another great Thanksgiving episode. One of my all-time favorite scenes was toward the end when everyone lets out all their frustrations to the Gellar parents.

"The One with the Proposal" (4) Tom Selleck shows up as Monica's ex-boyfriend just as Chandler is about to propose.

I might have chosen a few episodes differently, but overall this is a great collection. Even when I think I am sick of seeing certain episodes, I find that I can still watch them. A scene will always come along that just cracks me up. These shows never get old.
