Divorce number 2 is immediately on the cards as the fifth season opens with "The One After Ross Says Rachel." As of this point, Ross's character undergoes some extreme personality changes (which apparently lost David Schwimmer many female fans). His incessant whining drives all the Friends to distraction, especially in "The One Where Ross Moves In" with Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc). Later things get uncomfortable both at work and at home when he goes through a period of rage ("The One with Ross's Sandwich"). While all this downplays his failed relationship with Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), the real idea is to allow focus on the secret pairing of Chandler and Monica (Courteney Cox) after a night of passion in London. This made for a return to the show's appealingly silly atmosphere as poor Joey is caught in the middle of everyone's secrets. Building to "The One Where Everybody Finds Out," the silliness pauses for some genuinely touching interplay between Perry and Cox. The previous year's semi-serious thread about Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) birth gets forgotten fast: to distract the viewer she's introduced to Gary (Michael Rapaport) in "The One with the Cop." This leads to some hilarious parodying with Phoebe interrogated about apartment hunting, and the guys excited and then scared in "The One with the Ride-Along." She's more than over him by the time of the two-part finale, "The One in Vegas," though, especially since she missed out on London. Just in case fans thought Chandler and Monica had permanently stolen the spotlight, a cliffhanger shocks expectation again with Ross and Rachel bursting out of a chapel.... --Paul Tonks
Product Description
In addition to scoring one of the biggest surprise hits in television history, NBC generated a veritable pop culture phenomenon with its twentysomething 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' fifth season, which featured surprising nuptials in both London and Las Vegas.

 Well done April 21, 2009

Good quality, came in good time, the item was packaged well. There was a small dent in the top corner, but that minor problem is easily covered by the fact that I was sent two, which rocks! :)

Friends Fifth Season another great one to have never disappoints instead of having to wait & watch when the reruns come on TV & they are out of order you can watch your & watch them in order as them were shown on TV to begin with which is the better way to watch a series even if it is a rerun & if you have them in your collection you decide when to watch them on your own time table.and if you missed any of the episodes while it was on the air this is a way to catch up..
The best season ever!!!!!!! December 9, 2008
ABC Snoopy (New Jersey)
Could this be anymore funny? I love FRIENDS!!! This is the best season. By this point everything was great. Everyone is so funny. Look on disc 4 by Gunther spills the beans. You can find 3 Easter eggs, it's not much but it is kind of funny. I hope you enjoy this season as much as I do.

Friends - The Complete Fifth Season is another stellar season! Season five picks up where season 4 left off. Ross accidentally said Rachel's name during the wedding vows and now Emily is fighting mad. Chandler and Monica sleep together in London and now that they are back in New York, they can't seem to shake their new attraction to each other. The whole season is pretty much a winner, love the season finale in Las Vegas. That's the best hour long episode of the entire series. I love this show so with that in mind, season 5 is one season you can't walk away from!
