Full Product DetailsEditorial Reviews
The 2001-2 season picks up exactly where the previous one left off: at the wedding of Monica (Courteney Cox-Arquette) and Chandler (Matthew Perry), where the Friends are engaging in their usual hilarious antics. But the euphoria surrounding this year's opener, "The One After 'I Do,' " quickly gives way to a plot twist that dominates Season 8 -- Rachel’s (Jennifer Aniston) unexpected pregnancy. The father, of course, is Ross (David Schwimmer), and there's a great deal of hoopla generated before the blessed event occurs in a two-part, season-ending extravaganza, "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby." In between, there are some memorable episodes and the predictable cameo appearances. Alec Baldwin turns up in "The One with the Tea Leaves," which turns the spotlight on Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow); Sean Penn guests as a brokenhearted boyfriend in "The One with the Stain"; and Trudie Styler (Sting's wife) plays herself in "The One with Monica's Boots." Aniston's real-life husband, big-screen heartthrob Brad Pitt, makes an uncredited appearance in "The One with the Rumor," playing a former classmate (and, with Chandler, a co-founder of the high school's "I Hate Rachel" club) who turns up for Monica's Thanksgiving dinner. These 22 episodes are quite remarkable, in that they reveal almost none of the weariness or dearth of ideas that usually encumber series having run this long. There are, to be sure, a few clinkers in the group, but by and large Season 8 is an exceptionally strong one -- and a must for devotees of this much-beloved sitcom. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
