Rating: Summary: Buy this! Review: This is for all of you Friends watchers! If you love friends, you should REALLY get this! I watch it every week. There's the one where Rachel moves in, and the one where she cuts up her dad's credit cards. Ross's monkey, Marcell, goes to the hospital because he swallowed a Scrabble tile! I hope you get this because I love it!
Rating: Summary: The One Where I Give FRIENDS 5-Stars Review: Being a huge fan of the show and having seen each episode at least ten times has not dilluted my enthusiam for the Best of Friends collection in the least. Gathered here are the definiative shows that showcase the Friends in their most hilarious and memorable situations. From "The One with all the Embryos" to "Ross and Emily's Wedding", you are bound to find you favorite among the mix. With no commercial interuptions, expanded scenes not appearing on TV and additional material and out-takes, the Best of Friends couldn't BE any funnier.
Rating: Summary: They'll Be There For You Review: Friends has been a television powerhouse since we first met the gang at Central Perk in 1994. It was obvious right from the beginning that these were people we were going to like and watch for years. It was also obvious that these actors were a strong bunch of people with instant charm and chemistry. This two volume collection contains some great episodes. You get the Pilot episode which, if you haven't seen lately, is a real hoot to see them looking so different. You get hilarious episodes like "The One Where No One's Ready", which is kind of seinfeldian in a way. But, the top episodes is "The One With The Prom Video". A classic!. These people really don't get enough credit. It's a shame. They have impeccable timing. It's always dead on and pitch perfect. This is a real treat for fans who want to own a bit of their favorite friends.
Rating: Summary: This is THE best show Review: This is best show on television!!! These are definatley some their very best episodes, but they really dont have any bad ones. This show is hilarious!! If you love "Friends" then this is a must have for you. Cant wait for volumes 3-4 to come out!!
Rating: Summary: Proves why Friends Is The Best! Review: Friends is probably the best written and best acted television show in the past decade and this wonderful collection proves that. It contains some of the best episodes from the past 7 years. Included are when Rachel and Ross kiss, when the gang plays poker, the Thanksgiving flashbacks, and the best episode when the gitls lose the apartment to the guys. As you watch the episodes you can see each character grow and the chemisty build and build making them one of the best ensembles ever on tv. This is a tape you can watch over and over again and still find the same jokes funny, especially Lisa Kudrow who is hysterical and steals many scenes in almost evry episode. No disappointments on this box set, except I wish there were more, but Vol 3 and 4 will be coming out soon.
Rating: Summary: Doesn't get better than this! Review: I just recentaley got into Friends about a year ago because being only in high school when the series began I was in elmantary school and therefore was watching cartoons instead. This box set was a great way to help me catch up since I had probably seen less than 30 episodes before this came out. I think that these 10 best box sets are a better way of releasing Friends episodes than complete seasons because this way it is alot more affordable and you get nothing but the best instead of getting a few dud episodes which this show does have. Lets go through the episodes. I have given them letter grades.The Pilot-B+, We are introduced to all the Freinds and get to know their personalities. While this isn't the best ep. from season one it is pretty vital to this box set. Best line is Chandler: Want to help us put Ross' furniture together, Phoebe: oh I wish I could but I don't wanna. The one with two parts-A+, One of my all time favorite Friends episodes ever. Monica and Rachael's insuarnce fraud is hilarous as well as Chandler's relationship with Nina. This is the best episode from season one and whats even better is that it is an hour long. The one with all the poker-A, Great episode in which we get to see the Friends get a little competive. Its so funny to see the Girls trying to play poker and Chandler has some of his best lines in this episode. Phoebe is also hilarious in this episode and her best line is when she gets her cards and says "YES" then realizing that she is giving away her cards calmly says"or no". The one where Ross finds out-A-, This classic ep. from season 2 had Ross and Rachael's first kiss. The best scene is where Rachael goes on a date with a guy named Michael and drinks to much wine. The one with the prom video-B, This episode is probably the weakest one out of the ten but Joey and Chandler's friendship braclets are hilarious. Best line Chandler: Its easy for you to say you don't have to go around sporting a Mr. T reject from the Liberatchi house of Crap. The one where no one is ready-A, The one episode from season 3 proves to be one of the best. Like the poker ep. the friends spend just about the whole half hour with each other and that is when they are at there best. Also Monica's message on Richard's machine is a gut buster. Rachael also looks incredibly hot in her green dress. The one with the embryos-A-, Phoebe decideds to be a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife but it is the trivia game between Chandler and Joey and Monica and Rachael that really propells this ep. The best part is when the girls can't figure out what Chandler does for a living. The one with Ross's wedding-B+, Although a classic and funny episode, not giving us the third part to this episode detracts it a grade and makes it less wathcable. Luckly I taped the 3rd part off of tv soon after. The one with all the Thanksgivings-A-, Classic thanksgiving episode in which all the friends share their worst thanksgivings ever. Joey's head stuck in a turkey is the best flashback. The one where everybody finds out-A+, The best episode of Friends ever. I couldn't stop laughing. Everyone with the exception of Ross was at their best in this ep. and this shows that after 5 years Friends is better than ever. Well I hoped this helped and I can't wait for the new box set which looks like it has other great episodes aswell.
Rating: Summary: Friends is the best show in the world Review: Friends is my favorite TV show, it is so funny and smart and it just makes you feel better every time you watch it. It has the best cast of all shows and this DVD has some of the best episodes of the show.
Rating: Summary: Far from PERFECTION Review: If you're a "friends" fan like I am, dont' get the "Best of Friends"... In Europe, Japan, and Taiwan, a complete collection of every season, including every episode, is everywhere. That's what we call collection. I don't get why people in The States and Canada don't get to have equal access to those DVDs yet. There are only 6 or 7 episodes in each volume. I don't deny those are of the best ones. Yet to a fan, every episode is remarkable and thus shouldn't have ever been left out. If you get this two-volume DVD set, you're going to be trapped into the following situations: Where's the episode I miss the most? Or Where's the one I happened to miss because I was late that night when it was on TV? You don't want to be in such a scene, do you? So, here's the advice from someone who's been there: DON"t GET THEM. BE PATIENT. WAIT FOR THE COMPLETE COLLECTION TO BE RELEASED. However, if you just can't wait, the product may save your life for the time being.
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: Being a long-time fan of the television show "Friends", I attacked this "Best of..." package with relish! It includes ten of the producers best episodes, all with deleted scenes reattached and done in digital dolby. Though I expected this two-disc set to come with a series of outtakes, which I heard are quite hilarious, it is a definite must-have even without them. Drawing from episodes all the way up to "The One With Ross's Wedding", in which he inadvertantly mutters Rachel's name in his wedding vows, and setting into motion the events that would carry the last season of the show (Monica and Chandler), these gems are worth owning, and I can't wait for the rest to be released on DVD!
Rating: Summary: Great episodes, but a bit depressing Review: This box set includes the ten best episodes of Friends, as determined by an online survey (how come I never heard about this?) The episodes are definitely great ones, but some are not the ones I would pick. Also, I can't really feel happy for Ross when he says, "I just grabbed a spoon," or when he kisses Rachel for the first time, because I know how it's going to end. Plus, now that Rachel is the only friend that I have grown to hate, things I laughed at the first time I saw them are now just annoying. If you're wondering why I don't like Rachel, consider this: I admit that Ross was equally at fault for the first time they broke up, but then Rachel wreaks their chances of ever getting back together by making him say that she had absolutely nothing to do with the break-up. Hey, I'm pretty sure Ross wouldn't have slept with the xerox slut if Rachel had acknowleged their anniversary at all. It takes two to make a relationship go wrong. Also, she takes every oppurtunity to remind him she still has a grudge and will never get back together with him, but still apparantly cares enough about him to ruin every relationship he's had since. And since this isn't Seinfeld and relationships mean something, that's just wrong. Also, it goes without saying that it's a bad sign when one of the DVD highlights is interactive menus. Still, all 10 episodes are gems, and you'll definitely laugh at least once during all of them.
