Product Description:
Friends - The Complete Series Collection

Amazon.com:
A sitcom behemoth of the last 10 years, Friends shot out of the gate in 1994 with snappy writing and an attractive cast. The exploits of sensitive paleontologist Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), his obsessive-compulsive sister Monica Geller (Courteney Cox); Monica's roommate Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), a spoiled rich girl trying to live on her own; earthy aromatherapist/masseuse Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow); and Monica's neighbors across the hall-- sarcastic Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and his dim-bulb roommate Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) became a nationwide obsession, a pop-culture icon (remember "The Rachel" haircut?) and a top Nielsen hit for its entire run.


See the 10 or more seasons club .
The first two seasons were mostly centered on the on-off saga of Ross and Rachel, and while their relationship remained a strong presence through romantic rivals and even a baby, the other characters eventually moved from sideshow players into a shared comedic lead. But Friends was not without its heart. Most of the cast had dysfunctional relationships with their parents and went through loss, divorce, marriage, parenthood, and love triangles. The emotional pregnancies of Rachel (by Ross) and Phoebe (surrogate to her half-brother's triplets) won the actresses Emmy Awards, and Joey's tender feelings for Rachel in Season 8 won LeBlanc, the most improved actor in the series, a nomination.

Most sitcoms run out of ideas by the fifth season, but Friends gave itself a refreshing jolt the minute Monica and Chandler wound up in bed together. Their budding romance was not only the one of the funniest arcs of the series, but one of the most sentimental, as they planned a wedding, struggled to have a child and eventually turned to adoption. By seasons seven and on, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs.


Just friends? See our guide to who kissed whom on Friends.
Friends featured a parade of celebrity guests, but unlike Will & Grace, it actually utilized most of the stars as more than cameos: The sextet's parents were all brilliantly cast, particularly Kathleen Turner as Chandler's drag-queen father and Teri Garr as Phoebe's dizzy mom. Everyone from George Clooney to Sean Penn to Julia Roberts to Bruce Willis has appeared on the sitcom, and Tom Selleck certainly enjoyed a career resuscitation after his recurring role as Monica's older man.

But no star power ever penetrated the bond between the six stars, and their unmatchable chemistry worked for 10 seasons. Even if the show is on reruns daily, this boxed set of Friends remains watchable over and over again--even if that theme song grates on your nerves.

Standout episodes include The One With All The Poker (Season 1), The One With The Birth (1), The One With the Prom Video (2), The One With the Flashback (3), The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends (3), The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break (3), The One With the Embryos (4), The One With All the Wedding Dresses (4), The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (5), The One Where Everybody Finds Out (5), The One Where Ross Got High (6), The One With the Videotape (8), The One With the Rumor (8), The One With the Male Nanny (9), The One With Rachel's Other Sister (9), The One With Ross' Tan (10), and The One Where the Stripper Cries (10). --Ellen A.

5 out of 5 starsI never used to be into the show but... ^
Thanks to my x fiance, who owns this set and used to have regular Friends nights with her sister when we were together, I began to slowly develop an interest in the show. True I didn't join the ladies as often as I now wish I had, but what I did see still made me laugh. So I purchased a copy for myself with my new Best Buy card when I was at the store this last weekend searching for a cordless phone. The set of course contains all ten seasons in a largeish box. The box contains a series of small cardboard books, for lack of a better term, each page of which contains two disks, one on the front and one on the back. Of course the potential for damage to the disks is there but if you remove and insert them with reasonable care this can be minimized and/or avoided. I haven't had any problems at any rate, and as I'm totally blind and therefore had to make several attempts to find the first season this is a good thing. It took me a few minutes.
The show itself is funny and, in my opinion at least, much cleaner than what's considered commedy these days. Oh it has its share of sexual humor but it's clear that the creators made an effort to keep that within reasonable limits. And I suddenly find I can't get enough of the theme song, a tune which often used to annoy the hell out of me when the show would come on TV. It's funny how that sometimes happens. Needless to say so far I find it well worth the 200+ dollars I spent on it.



5 out of 5 starsoriginal packaging, new, arrived in 2 days! ^
saved a lot of cash buying online. It arrived in 2 days using normal mail, and it's in its original packaging.



1 out of 5 starsboot leg copy ^
I purchased this item as a Christmas gift, my first purchase ever on the internet. What I received was a bogus copy of substandard quality. There were numerous typo errors on the box, gramatical, spelling, and punctuation. The discs came in a flimsy case, in paper sleeves and with multiple discs in some. I didn't even try to play them. I contacted the seller, who with an apology, has promised a full refund including the shipping "and a little extra". I had to buy the set in the store at the last minute for Christmas, costing me an additional $70.00. I sent the set back(it was received by the seller on 02/03/10). I am still waiting for my refund.



4 out of 5 starsPrice ^
Just a month back the price was $99.99. I was just spreading the word to everyone to buy it and before I could order it, the price increased :(. I am waiting for this price to come again...Would it be next christmas now? :(



5 out of 5 starsFriends- Complete edition ^

Product arrived super fast. Great storage box and very easy to read. I absolutely love it.
