Editorial Reviews

From the moment that we first heard The Rembrandts’ jangling, Byrds-y intro to "I’ll Be There for You," Friends has kept us totally engaged -- and not just with the eternal question of how six semi-employed twentysomethings could afford such palatial Manhattan digs. Developed by NBC as a Thursday-night companion to the then-growing Seinfeld, Friends is that rare breed of situation comedy that is much more than the sum of its considerable and carefully assembled parts. Early in this first season, Friends establishes itself as the time-capsule collection for unfocused Generation X’ers, swimming in Seinfeld's creative wake, shining brilliantly with threadbare plotlines. Consider "The One with the Boobies," in which Chandler (Matthew Perry) catches an accidental glimpse of Rachel’s breasts, which sets her off on a fairness crusade to see his ‘thing.’ And who doesn't crack up throughout "The One With the Butt," wherein aspiring thespian Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is called upon to play the enviable role of Al Pacino’s "butt double." The nostalgia factor is high in this 24-episode collection, and revisiting such gems as "The One With Two Parts" -- during which Monica (Courteney Cox) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) double-date ER docs George Clooney and Noah Wyle -- will no doubt bring the early ‘90s back like a shot from the defibrillator. The DVD editon of this box set is chock-full of extra features, including an interactive tour of the set and the "How Well Do You Know Your Friends" trivia challenge. After a few sleepless nights spent devouring the entire first season, the quiz should be a breeze. Episodes are as follows:

  • "The One Where It All Began" -- Monica¹s old high school friend, Rachel, decides to move in with her after leaving her fiancé at the altar. Meanwhile, Ross takes an apartment in Monica¹s building to be closer to his friends, Chandler and Joey.
  • "The One With The Sonogram At The End" -- Ross¹ ex-wife Carol tells him that she and her lover, Susan, plan to raise their baby together, but that he is invited to the sonogram. Meanwhile Monica prepares for dinner with her parents.
  • "The One With The Thumb" -- Phoebe¹s bank mistakenly credits her account, but her attempts to fix the situation only bring her more money, as well as a soda with a thumb floating in it. Meanwhile, Chandler teaches Joey how to smoke.
  • "The One With George Stephanopoulos" -- Joey and Chandler invite Ross to a hockey game for his birthday, but his nose gets broken by a flying puck and the guys spend the night in the hospital. Meanwhile, the girls discuss life and guys.
  • "The One With The East German Laundry Detergent" -- Monica and Joey try to break up Joey¹s ex-girlfriend Angela¹s current relationship, Chandler and Phoebe try to break up with their dates and Ross teaches Rachel how do to laundry.
  • "The One With The Butt" -- Chandler starts dating a beautiful woman, who is not only married, but also has another boyfriend, a situation which isn¹t as fun as he expects it to be. Meanwhile, Joey is cast in a movie, as Al Pacino¹s "butt double."
  • "The One With The Blackout" -- During a blackout in New York City, Chandler is locked in an ATM with beautiful supermodel Jill Goodacre. Meanwhile, the gang converges on Monica's apartment to tell scary stories and talk about sex.
  • "The One Where Nana Dies Twice" -- Ross and Monica help their parents (Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles) with their grandmother¹s funeral arrangements. Meanwhile, a co-worker makes Chandler question his sexual orientation.
  • "The One Where Underdog Gets Away" -- Everyone¹s plans for Thanksgiving fall through one-by-one, culminated by the Underdog balloon escaping from the Macy¹s Parade. Meanwhile, Ross petitions Carol for "belly time" so he can bond.
  • "The One With The Monkey" -- Ross gets a pet monkey with which he experiences the typical struggles of a new relationship. Meanwhile, the gang throws a "dateless" New Year¹s Eve party, but end up bringing dates anyway.
  • "The One With Mrs. Bing" -- Monica and Phoebe cause a guy to have an accident and begin a "relationship" with him while he¹s in a coma. Meanwhile, Chandler¹s famous trash-novelist mom (Morgan Fairchild) comes for a visit.
  • "The One With The Dozen Lasagnas" -- Rachel¹s boyfriend Paolo comes on to Phoebe while she is giving him a massage, prompting Rachel to swear off all men, including Ross. Meanwhile, Monica has made all these lasagnas...
  • "The One With The Boobies" -- Chandler accidentally sees Rachel¹s "boobies" and she decides to get even by seeing his "thing." Meanwhile, Joey finds out his dad has been having an affair and Phoebe¹s shrink boyfriend drives everyone nuts.
  • "The One With The Candy Hearts" --Joey and Chandler go on a double date, but to Chandler's horror, his date is his ex-girlfriend Janice. Meanwhile, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe have a "bad boyfriend cleansing ritual" which gets out of hand.
  • "The One With The Stoned Guy" -- One of Phoebe¹s clients (Jon Lovitz) auditions Monica for the new restaurant he wants to open, but shows up at her home stoned and is more interested in munchies than her gourmet appetizers.
  • "The One With Two Parts, Part 1" -- Chandler and Joey meet Phoebe¹s twin sister, Ursula. Meanwhile Ross, Carol and Susan begin Lamaze classes and Rachel falls off the roof. Helen Hunt and Leila Kenzle make guest appearances.
  • "The One With Two Parts, Part 2" --After her accident, Monica takes Rachel to the hospital where they make a double date with two cute doctors (George Clooney and Noah Wyle). Meanwhile, Phoebe has a confrontation with Ursula.
  • "The One With All The Poker" -- The girls convince the guys to teach them poker, but wind up losing big-time. They demand a re-match, but lose that as well. Meanwhile, Rachel is interviewed for her "dream job" as a buyer at Saks.
  • "The One Where The Monkey Gets Away" -- Rachel loses Ross¹ pet monkey and the gang go on an all-out search, but a run in with a woman she snubbed in high school, now working for Animal Control, turns the search into a fiasco.
  • "The One With The Evil Orthodontist" -- Rachel¹s visit to her ex-fiancé Barry leads to sex, and winds up breaking up his impending wedding with her ex-maid-of-honor, Mindy. Meanwhile, Chandler has problems after a great first date.
  • "The One With Fake Monica" -- Monica finds the woman who has stolen her credit card number and winds up befriending her, because she loves her zest for life. Meanwhile Ross has monkey problems and Joey searches for a stage name.
  • "The One With The Ick Factor" -- Monica gets involved with a guy she thinks is a college senior, only to find out he¹s a senior in high school. Meanwhile, Phoebe fills in as Chandler¹s assistant and finds out that none of his co-workers like him.
  • "The One With The Birth" -- Carol is in labor, but the childish competition between Ross and Susan forces her to throw them out. When they get locked in a janitor¹s closet with Phoebe, they fear they may miss the birth of their child.
  • "The One Where Rachel Finds Out" -- While Ross is away in China, Joey lets it slip that he is in love with Rachel, prompting her to re-evaluate how she feels, but when she goes to the airport to tell him, she is greeted with a surprise. Jeffrey Iorio, Barnes & Noble

    the Complete Set vs. the individual season DVD'sby DebraKY

    February 10, 2009: I bought the complete set in 2006. I love the show. But I did not like the way they were shown on these DVD's. So, I sold them back to Best Buy and bought the DVD's season to season and I'm enjoy them better that way. But I would recommend either set if you are a "Friends" fan.

    February 10, 2009: I absolutely love this show. I have wanted this complete series for two years now and even borrowed it from a friend when I had surgery. I finally got it in December 2008 and couldn't be happier with it. And the price I got it at made it even that much better! It was on sale and I had a 20% off coupon! I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants some laughs.
