Summary: Great season, but...
Review: Chandler looks really bad this year. His gangly appearance and wired delivery are nothing like the confident Mathew Perry you see now. It becomes difficult to enjoy the back end of the season because you can now see how bad off he was, especially when you watch the begining of season 4. By the time they return to the beach, Chandler looks so much happier and healthier. I will take "fat" Chandler over emaciated Chandler any day. Here in Japan we are up to season 7 on DVD (because it is not broadcast, DVD is the only way to see this show - and hear what all of the Friends sound like in Japanese!) and this season leaves me a bit uncomfortable. Having said that, this season has the classic episode where no one is ready. Look out for those lunges!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Show, Great DVD!
Review: Back in the day (1997), friends was on top of the world and featured great storie lines, and lots of comedy. Although friends is still funny today, they have over used that, will Ross and Rachel get back together, story. If you want to re-live the year when when it first happened, and it was still interesting, buy this now. I have scene every episode of the 3rd season and it is funny. Pheobe finds out information about her REAL mother. Chandler and Monica joke about getting together. Joey performs in a play, and falls for his co-star, Kate. And of course the question of, were Ross and Rachel really on a break, is answered, (watch for yourself and judge). Personally, this is one of the few times I agree with Ross! This Dvd set, also features a bit of a love triangle, between Joey and Chandler, which ends with Chandler in a box! The box set also comes with a few special features, but they're not very special. The main reason to buy this is because of all 24 episodes. Friends fans should order this today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: With FRIENDS like these...
Review: Short and sweet- for nine years they have been all of our friends and they never fail to deliver the goods. Keep those seasons coming and don't make us wait forever for season 4 to get here. If you've been an avid fan of the show, don't you feel like you know thses people? Having these three seasons is a good way of always having your friends around.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for any Friends fan or Friends dvd collector
Review: I have seen every episode and If you are a new viewer to the show you will be pleased with this dvd. My favorite season is not this season, however this season is still enjoyable. This is my favorite show and hopefully it will become yours too. There may be a big demand on this dvd, so I suggest you pre-order it. I watch episodes repeatedly and never get tired of it, I doubt you will either. There are some really good episodes in this dvd. The show has been running for nine seasons and there is one more to go, making this show ONE of the longest running comedy. Or, at least I think. Hope my review helps in your decsion to be persuaded to buy this dvd.

Summary: I'll Be There For You
Review: I think it is safe to say that I'm a 'Friends' fanatic. I've sat glued to the telly through seven seasons and laughed through over one hundred and fifty episodes. So now I want to share my love of this fantastic programme with my fellow Amazainians.

'Friends' is an American sitcom about six friends in their early thirties living in New York. The comedy shows them struggle with their careers and ill-fated romances, but they always have their friends to be there for them at the end of the day, which is what the show is all about. The programme is as near to perfect as television gets - hilarious scripts, incredible acting, and not to mention an amazing theme song by the Rembrants, 'I'll Be There For You'.

So who are the six friends that make this show what it is?

MONICA:
Courtney Cox plays Monica Geller, the Mother hen of the group. She is incredibly competitive and more than just a little neurotic - she is obsessed with cleaning and keeping order. As a child she was a bit of a compulsive eater, and consequently became extremely overweight, but after hearing Chandler calling her fat as a teenager she took it upon herself to lose the extra pounds (about a hundred of them!). Her love of food inspired her to become a chef, although her career is rather shaky in earlier series. Monica seems to have an attraction for the wrong type of men, which doesn't really help her desire for marriage and a family. However, she found true love at last with Chandler, and season seven ends with their wedding.

ROSS:
David Schwimmer plays Ross Geller, Monica's geeky elder brother. After doing well at high school and college he became a palaeontologist, and later a professor at New York University. He is a family man at heart, but isn't very good at marriage. His first wife left him ... not for another man, but for another woman! His second marriage didn't work out because he said the wrong name at the alter, and his third marriage to Rachel was only the result of a drunken night in Las Vegas and they were divorced soon after. Oh well, perhaps if he keeps trying he'll get there in the end!

RACHEL:
Jennifer Aniston plays Rachel Green, who is a bit of a Barbie-doll (in a nice way) and was very spoilt by her father. She ditched her dentist fiancé Barry at the alter because he looked like 'Mister Potato Head' and went to live with her old high school best friend Monica instead. Rachel then got her first ever job as a waitress in the coffee house where the friends hang out, 'Central Perk'. She's gone up in the world a lot since then and currently works for Ralph Lauren, where she has her own personal assistant Tag (who she not-very-professionally dated!). Rachel and Ross have an on and off relationship throughout the show, but viewers are still waiting to find out if they ever get back together again.

CHANDLER:
Matthew Perry plays Chandler Bing, a wisecracking computer programmer. Still mentally scarred by his childhood when he discovered his parents were getting divorced because his father was gay, he is, like Monica, very neurotic but covers his hang-ups by joking. He too has had many relationship difficulties, mostly because he always found nothing but flaws in all the women he dated. Now he has found happiness with Monica, his first successful relationship, and she has succeeded in bringing out the more mature, emotional side to his character. Ahhh.

PHEOBE:
Lisa Kudrow plays Pheobe Buffay, the hippy folksinger who plays her guitar in the coffee house singing (badly) ridiculous songs like 'Smelly Cat'. Pheobe is a masseur, hates her furniture to be mass-produced and often believes she is in contact with her dead grandmother. Ok, so she is pretty weird, but that's hardly surprising considering the upbringing she has had. When Pheobe was only fourteen, her adopted mother committed suicide by putting her head in an oven, and left Pheobe and her twin sister to look after themselves. But considering all that she nearly always manages to have a smile on her face.

JOEY:
Matt LeBlanc plays Joey Tribbiani, an American-Italian actor who is unemployed the majority of the time and yet still thinks he's 'all that'. He found his five minutes of fame as Doctor Drake Ramoray on 'Days of our Lives', but his character was killed off by falling down an elevator shaft. He's a bit of a stud when it comes to women, and practically brings a different girl back to his apartment every night. He shared an apartment with Chandler for a few years, although most of the time he couldn't afford to pay his half and borrowed the money from Chandler. Joey doesn't have much in the way of brains or cash, but he's certainly very loveable!

Those are the six main characters, and together they make up one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Every episode has it's own unique shine to it, and I'm usually in stitches all the way through. Definitely a TV show you don't want to miss!
