Summary: The Best of the Best!
Review: Friends is by far one of my favourite TV sitcoms. It's funny and just sooooo entertaining. I could watch it over and over and over again and still get a kick out of it. Season three is one of the funniest Friends seasons, and for that alone, I would buy this DVD boxed set, but there is just soooooo much more. There is at least a few minutes of never before seen footage in each episode, there is the tour of Joey and Chandler's bachelor pad, commentary on three episodes (TOW No One's Ready, TOW All The Football and TOW The Morning After), you can preview each episode before watching it with the special previewing feature, you get a "best of" part with greatest moments of each memeber of Friends during the season and so much more.

The episodes in the season are:
DISC ONE
301 - The One With the Princess Leia Fantasy - The season premiere... very very funny... Chandler reveals sexual fantasies with Ross... and ruins his night with Rachel...(5/5)

302 - The One Where No One's Ready - One of my favourites... Everyone is running late when Ross needs to get to a special dinner... (5/5)

303 - The One With the Jam
Joey breaks his arm by... jumping off the bed... and Monica tries to get over Richard by making jam... then has a new plan... CLASSIC!!! (5/5)

304 - The One With the Metaphorical Tunnel
Chandler wants to take a step forward... Ben plays with a Barbie... very funny (4/5)

305 - The One With Frank, Jr.
Not one of the best... but still good... Phoebe gets reunited with her half brother (3/5)

306 - The One With the Flashback
Janice stirs up a convo about the Friend's past... It's okay... it's just a flashback episode... it's okay (3/5)

307 - The One With the Racecar Bed
Very Very Funny... one of my faves... Monica buys a new bed, but Phoebe signs for the wrong bed... Monica Faloola Geller... very very good... (5/5)

DISC TWO
308 - The One With the Giant Poking Device
Phoebe thinks she killed Ugly Naked Guy by going to the dentist... It's okay (4/5)

309 - The One With the Football

I like this episode... Rachel quits her job at Central Perk... and can't find work... (4/5)

311 - The One Where Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister
Some may find this episode funny, but I honestly dont... it's not a classic Friends episode (2.5/5)

312 - The One With All the Jealousy
One of the few setbacks of the DVD... this episode is quite boring... and I kinda got sick of it... Ross is jealous when Rachel meets a guy who can help her move along in her career. (2/5)

Pretty good... Monica and Richard play raquetball... (3.5/5)

DISC THREE

A classic Ross and Rachel moment... very very sad... and good (4/5)

Summary: The one with the anorexic actor
Review: Season 3 of FRIENDS is just as entertaining as the first 2 seasons but there is one distraction throughout season 3: CHANDLER IS ANOREXIC! I've heard, but never got the full story, that Matthew Perry had some sort of addiction problem that made him lose weight but...man... couldn't the producers see how bad he looked. To make it worse, he gets SKINNIER as the season progresses. Don't get me wrong, the show and Matthew Perry are funny but it seems like something should have been done to keep him from looking the way he does. Looking forward to season 4!

Summary: I love Friends!
Review: But if there was a 0, I would've pressed it because apparently there was a problem with shipment. I bought my copy at Best Buy. Everything was ok except that Disk One and Three are the same one. Disk Three is really Disk One and Disk One is ok. All have different cover labels but in reality I have two Disk Ones. So I went back and they told me they had a similar problem yesterday with another customer. I think someone who's in charge of labeling the DVDs made a mistake and had them all shipped having no Disk 3. I don't know how many DVDs are affected but everyone should check Disk 3 to make sure it is in fact disk 3. Especially if you live in the Los Angeles area because that's where I live so check and keep your receipt. I got my money back and now i have look somewhere else for it.

Summary: The one where you knew they were here to stay!
Review: For those of us who just can't get enough of FRIENDS, these Complete Season boxed-set DVD's are a Godsend! All Friends, all the time! Re-runs in syndication just aren't enough anymore...when I need a Friends fix, I just pop a DVD into the player and there they are.

Watching these Season Three episodes again on DVD reminded me that this was the year when you really got to know the gang. You knew this show was something special and would be around for years to come.

In a season of many highlights, however, two of the absolute standouts are "The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break" and "The One with the Morning After." The emotions they both displayed during their all-night "breakup" were so real and believable. And they introduced a new phrase into the TV lexicon..."WE WERE ON A BREAK!"

My thanks to Warner Bros. for offering complete seasons on DVD (the "Best of Friends" series just weren't enough) but why the long delays between releases?! If seasons 1-8 were all out on DVD right now, I'd put down the money and buy them all in one shot!

What happened to the season of Ross and Julie and the dating of Monica and Richard

Summary: Freinds Take A Break
Review: The third season of Friends is most notable for the breakup of the Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) relationship that had been a large part of the first two seasons. As with most TV shows, complacency is the quickest root to cancellation, so the instead of keeping the two together, they break them up. During the course of the first half of the season Rachel leaves her job as a waitress and meets a good looking guy, Mark (Steven Eckholdt, who now stars on My Big Fat Greek Life), who helps get her a job a Bloomingdale's. Ross is immediately jealous as he says to Rachel no guy helps a girl just out of the goodness of his heart. Rachel thinks he is being ridiculous and Ross' impending jealousy puts a strain on their relationship. The breaking point comes when Rachel tells Ross she has to cancel their anniversary plans because she has to work late, he shows at her office with a picnic style dinner. Rachel is incensed and she says they should take a break. Ross goes to a party with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) & Chandler (Matthew Perry) and ends up sleeping with Chloe (Angela Featherstone) a girl who works at a copier store that both Joey and Chandler have the hots for. Ross tries to hide the affair from Rachel, but eventually she finds out from Gunther (James Michael Tyler), which to an all-night fight that ends up with Rachel leaving Ross. Ross explains his infidelity by saying "we were on a break", which would become a much repeated line that would surface in most subsequent seasons. The rest of the season deals with the breakup until the season ending episode where the gang goes to the beach in search of Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) father and Ross finds out that Rachel still has feelings for him. While the main plot line is the Ross-Rachel relationship, there are plenty of other great episodes including a flashback episode where we go back to a time set one year before the series began, the introduction of the duck & chick into Chandler & Joey's apartment, a hilarious Thanksgiving episode in which Monica's (Courtney Cox) and Ross' old sibling rivalry comes out in a touch football game, Ben Stiller has a great guest spot as a new boyfriend of Rachel's who screams at Ross and no one believes him about it, Chandler starts smoking again and an episode where he uses a hypnosis tape to help him quit, but it is geared towards women and an early season episode that shows the true greatness of the show in which the entire episode is spent with Ross trying get everyone ready for an important banquet. It shows the subtly and genius of the actors and writers to take such a simple plot and expand it out over the course of a half-hour with hilarious results. Season three is bogged down a bit by the heaviness of the breakup and also a ridiculous plot line involving Monica and Pete (Jon Favreau). Monica first meets Pete at a diner she is working at and doesn't think much of him, but she goes out with even though she's not all that interested. It turns out that Pete is a software mogul who incredibly rich. She dates him and when Monica thinks he's bought her a ring, it turns out he is going to fulfill his dream by entering the extremely violent Ultimate Fighting Championship. The relationship doesn't really click at all from the start and the ridiculous fighting championship plot is not up the usual high standards of the show. That being said, Season three is still first rate and continues to include excellent performances by all of the cast members.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Sitcom of Our Time!
Review: NBC has given us some very good television, but nothing compared to Friends. In 1994, Friends premiered. The show immediatly became a huge success. Episode after episode, the writers continued to deliver great material. In the 1996-1997 season (third), they truly went over the top. Season Three is probably the best season to date. Friends had a superb ride in its first six years. By the time Season Seven began, the show began to lose its special flare. Many believe it was because of its competition, Survivor, that stopped Friends from delivering good episodes. As the season drew to its close, many believed Friends was over. But, in the season finale, a cliffhanger led to believe Rachel, played by Jennifer Aniston, was pregnant. This was all the show needed to start up again. The next two years of Friends were its most succesful years in its entire run. Friends is pure proof that a show can withstand the test of time. Friends is my favorite show and I will continue to watch it as it enters its Tenth Season!

Summary: Snore
Review: Friends is so boring. I don't understand why people watch it. Chandler is the only funny one and they don't give him nearly enough lines.
