 Friends - Series 1 - 10 (30 DVDs)
 Friends - Series 1 - 10 (30 DVDs) ... October, 2006 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: Box set, PAL / A US sitcom behemoth with a global brand, 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 neighbours across the hall -- sarcastic Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and his struggling actor roommate Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) became a nationwide obsession, a pop-culture icon (remember "The Rachel" haircut?) and a ratings hit for its entire run. 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 onwards, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs. Friends featured a parade of celebrity guests, but utilised most of the stars as more than mere 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 ten seasons. Even though the show is probably repeated somewhere in the world every day, this boxed set of Friends remains watchable over and over again -- even if that theme song eventually grates on your nerves! --Sally GilesNewest Review: ... heart. Its an absolute classic series based on the lives of 6 20-somethings following them through to kind of settled ... more ... 30-somethings through the 10 series with lots of well-observed humour and celebrity guest appearances along the way. It's about life and love in New York City and is a fabulous feel-good lifestyle show. Who doesn't want to hang out with their friends drinking coffee and having parties all the time. Some of the funniest moments in it are where they twist the relationships so when Joey moves out of the apartment he shares with Chandler (two men, its difficult to tell from the names) they show their being upset as a love sto...more |

Friends 1-10 I'm presuming when I'm writing this review that nearly everyone that reads this would have seen at least one episode of friends. Friends saw the characters Rachel, Joey, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Ross become household names across the globe and everyone's best friends. There was never a sitcom like it before and there never will be again, Friends is simply unbeatable. Sorry if my love for the show is coming through in the review slightly, I'd hate to think I'd been biased towards it in anyway. Well due to my love for the series I do recognize it would be unfair going on and on about the series and it would serve more purpose to review the ... Read the complete review

Its over, all over.. i can't believe it..... i was so overjoyed when the final season came out. I couldn't wait to see the end, exactly what was going to happen, but after i had finished watching the last episode, i was crying like a baby. Not just me, my younger sister who was also a die hard Friends fan, cried when we finished watching the last episode. Friends had always made me laugh..... whenever i was sad, an episode of friends always cheered me up. Every episode was filled with numerous gags and jokes and every story was a whole new adventure..... When the DVD box set of the whole 10 episodes became available, i stared saving up my pocket ...

I never really watched friends when it first came out in '94 as after watching the pilot episode I was not impressed at all. But years later I am the owner of the entire 10 series and I watch them regularly. There are a few things that are questionable, like why did the writers change Joey Tribiannies character from a two-bit actor into a bit of a stupid two-bit actor? In the pilot episode he came across as a bit of a charmer with a brain, then in the next episode they changed his character into a forgetful more comical guy who had a way with the ladies. Then there was the door numbers in the pilot, suddenly changing over the next few episodes???? There ... Read the complete review
