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.

| 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.

| 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.

 Satisfied! July 2, 2009

I purchased this set a few months ago and I love it! Having read tons of reviews prior to buying this product, I was worried that some disks might be scratched or something. The very minute I received the product, I sat down and tested every disk to make sure they're good. I didn't find anything wrong with them.
Although the disks are not set up by seasons, it's really simple to find the episodes you want to watch because you can easily find them in the booklet that comes with it. The only complaint I have is regarding the delivery. The product was shipped really fast. However, the UPS people didn't even ring our bell or anything to give us the package. They left it sitting outside our porch in the dark. I saw the package at like 9pm when I went outside to take my sisters somewhere. I would've been so pissed off if the package was stolen or have gotten damaged with the snow (I ordered it in December). But, other than that, I'm happy with the purchase. If you're a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fan, this is a MUST HAVE! I've purchased other collections before but this is by far, my FAVORITE!!!
 horrible experience June 17, 2009

Do not buy from this person!!! The cd's I received were scratched and the box was broken on one side. Also they did not respond to any of my emails for a refund!!!
I like it ! June 16, 2009

I'm really enjoying this product. Watching the whole serie makes me laugh over and over. I love it!
Great collection June 14, 2009
B. Yablonsky
This is a great collection to have if you are a FRIENDS fan and who isn't?! It comes with a book that allows you to preview what episode you want to watch. And if you're in the middle of a season and don't know what ep[isode you're up to, you can figure it out by reading the synopsis in the book.
Fast and in perfect condition June 7, 2009
Samantha Porter
I received the package within the next day and there has been nothing the matter with any of the disks. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
