Full Product DetailsThe penultimate season of this long-running favorite proved to be a fairly tumultuous one -- and a very funny one as well. It kicks off with "The One Where No One Proposes," the aftermath of the accidental proposal made by Joey (Matt LeBlanc) to new mother Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), and includes a hilarious scene in which Monica's father (Elliott Gould) catches his darling daughter (Courteney Cox) and her beau, Chandler (Matthew Perry), making whoopee in a closet. The show's writers inject some new elements into the 2002-3 season, most notably the addition of recurring characters played by Paul Rudd, Dermot Mulroney, and especially Aisha Tyler, who plays Joey's girlfriend, Charlie. One story thread finds Chandler and Monica struggling with his weekly business commute to Tulsa, beginning with the episode "The One Where Emma Cries," and includes her marriage-straining inability to conceive in "The One with Phoebe's Birthday Dinner." And there's another great Thanksgiving episode, "The One with Rachel's Other Sister," featuring guest star Christina Applegate as Amy, the titular sis. Season 9 ends on a cliff-hanger in the two-part "The One in Barbados," as Charlie breaks up with Joey and turns to Ross (David Schwimmer) for comfort -- which sends Joey back into Rachel's arms. We all know how things worked out, but in reviewing the show's ninth year it becomes quite evident that writers, directors, and cast members alike were working overtime to make this group of episodes special. And they succeeded admirably. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
