Product Description
In addition to scoring one of the biggest surprise hits in television history, NBC generated a veritable pop culture phenomenon with its twenty something sitcom smash FRIENDS. Set in New York City, the series chronicled the lives of six best friends as they navigated through the ups and downs of romance and career from the confines of their local coffee shop and some pretty fabulous Manhattan apartments. While the series originally rode to success on the coattails of its Thursday night predecessor SEINFELD, what differentiated FRIENDS from the rash of copycat sitcoms that followed--and made it a bona fide hit in its own right--was the unique chemistry of its fine ensemble cast: Courtney Cox as neurotic clean freak Monica; David Schwimmer as her endearingly hangdog brother Ross; Matt LeBlanc as none-too-bright actor-wannabe Joey Tribbiani; Matthew Perry as sarcastic computer programmer Chandler Bing; Lisa Kudrow as goofy new-age free spirit Phoebe Buffay; and, of course, Jennifer Aniston as reformed spoiled rich girl Rachel Green (whose highly influential fashion sense launched a thousand hairstyles). This collection includes every episode from the popular series' debut season, which featured guest appearances by George Clooney and Noah Wylie.

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. As its ratings following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, illustrated, Friends has matured into television's most beloved comfort show. The peerless ensemble--Jennifer Aniston, a pre-Arquette Courtney Cox, Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer--makes a lasting first impression in the first season's 24 episodes, which are presented chronologically on four discs. The perky "Pilot" introduces unlucky-in-love Monica, runaway bride Rachel, sad sack Ross, New Age ditz Phoebe, wise guy Chandler, and womanizer Joey. The focus of the first season is Ross's unrequited love for Rachel, but we have these moments to remember: the arrival of Marcel the monkey ("The One with the Monkey"); Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe's "cleansing ritual" ("The One with the Candy Hearts"); the escalating game of shower peek-a-boo ("The One with the Boobies"); Joey as Al Pacino's butt double ("The One with the Butt"); Ross taking lessons from Joey in how to "talk dirty" ("The One with the Stoned Guy"); former "Must-See TV" stars Helen Hunt and George Clooney ("The One with Two Parts"); and Chandler spilling the beans to Rachel about Ross's feelings for her ("The One Where Rachel Finds Out"). Though its devoted fans can recite these episodes chapter and verse, Friends maintains its sparkle through repeat viewings, a testament to the sharp writing as well as the cast's lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry and lived-in performances. The episodes are presented uncut and extended, with previously unseen dialogue and scenes. And those who hate Friends and would like to drown the characters in the opening credits' fountain are directed to the episode "The One with the Boobies," in which guest star Fisher Stevens hilariously nails the "dysfunctional group dynamic ... co-dependent, emotionally stunted, sitting in your stupid coffeehouse and you're all like, 'Define me, define me.'" --Donald Liebenson

The service was normal but the item was not in the conditions mentioned. I honestly think the item you sent me was not "like new"

Since this was the first time I had purchased anything used from Amazon, I was a little bit skeptical about what condition the product would arrive in... You almost couldn't tell they were used and everything works great. 5/5 stars for you...
Friends what can I say March 22, 2009
Sherrie T. Price (Autryville,NC)
Friends what can I say it was absolutely the best sitcom ever you really thought of them as the friends next door,we all couldn't wait til Thursday night to see what happens next time after the show went off the air I just had to have the complete series in my collection to be able to watch any time I need a friendly fix.LOL If you missed any of the episodes you can catch up on them on your own time & never miss a beat.
 Overrated! February 14, 2009

I agree with what other people said. This is a case of a product that is absolutely overrated. God knows why.
The actors, including Aniston, are awful. The jokes are pathetic. The laughs after five minutes are annoying as hell.
Please... I wonder how can something as bad as this was able to carry on for ten years!
To watch an entire season of friends is basically submitting yourself to a stream of stupid jokes, that are not funny under any possible perspective.
Friends is low quality television. To avoid carefully.
