Stunt casting stumbles (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Charlie Sheen) aside, it was a very good year for this beloved series, ranked by TV Guide as among the top 25 of all time. With the bar set so high from the first season, a sophomore slump could be expected, but, apart from a game Julia Roberts, only the hour-long episode raised the question whether success would spoil Friends. (This episode, 'The One After the Super Bowl,' convinced some misguided NBC executive that guest star Brooke Shields could carry her own series!) Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (an Emmy-worthy Jennifer Aniston) were the engine that drove the season and produced some of the series' most monumental episodes, including 'The One with Ross' New Girlfriend,' 'The One Where Ross Finds Out' (with R & R's first kiss), 'The One with the List,' 'The One with the Prom Video,' and 'The One Where Ross and Rachel... You Know.' But this was not the only significant story arc.
Enter--and, in the bittersweet season finale, exit--Tom Selleck as Dr. Richard Burke, the family friend ('He's like a brother to... Dad,' notes a disapproving Ross) who becomes Monica's (Courtney Cox) lover. Joey (Matt LeBlanc) finds success (albeit short-lived) as Dr. Drake Ramoray on 'Days of Our Lives' and moves out ('We're not Bert and Ernie,' he tells roommate Chandler). Future Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow's best season is to come, but, as Phoebe, she makes the most of some memorable subplots, including her shocked discovery of sad movie endings she had been shielded from ('The One Where Old Yeller Dies'), her dispute with Ross over evolution ('The One Where Heckles Dies'), and her channeling of an elderly woman who died on her massage table ('The One with the Lesbian Wedding'). Praise is due unsung hero Lauren Tom, so charming and sweet in the thankless role as Julie, the Girl Who Comes Between Ross and Rachel. Adam Goldberg also makes an indelible impression in his three-episode stint as Chandler's new 'psycho' roommate. Notable omissions from this set include chapter stops for each episode, and uh, ahem, hel-LOH, how about commentary from the cast? --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Arguably the best if not the best season in the series
I personally like all 10 seasons of this show but there is something about Season 2 that just keeps you wanting to watch friends and re-watch this season. As this show gets into its older seasons there is always something that upsets me in some way. For example, Chandler just starts getting bashed on more and more later on and Monica gets really annoying. Also, Ross and Rachel never get back together ONCE until the end of the show after they break up in the 1st episode in the 4th season except for their little flings and Emma who's born in the 9th season. But even though all the seasons are good there are always some episodes in the other seasons that annoy me. However, the second season is not like this.
Season 2 of the show FRIENDS starts off right where it left off from season 1 and the story line is great. But the jokes and the acting and everything just gets better. This is where the show really starts to take off. It starts off with Rachel at the airport to welcome Ross back but he comes back with a new girlfriend, Julie, and that starts the Rachel jelousy. Then Ross finds out that Rachel likes him and he realizes in the episode "The one where Ross finds out" that he needs to be with her. Then after a few bumps in the road they finally are able to get together which is a really great moment for the show. But I think this season is great not just for Ross and Rachel but for the other characters. You realize the closeness that Chandler and Joey have for one another in the episodes ... Read More

Thanks for this product. The price was great and the shipping timeframe was great.
Rating: - Really begins to his its stride
While the first season of the show is highly enjoyable, it really begins to hit its stride in season two as we get to learn more about each characters' particular eccentricities and we witness more of the ties that bind these characters in friendship. The most important element of this show was the chemistry that these actors had together and season two shows them really continuing to click.
Some of my favorites:
"The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant": Monica unwittingly loses her job when her promotion leads her to accept a gift which, unbeknownst to Monica, is a violation of company policy. The thing I like most about this episode is how it treats the disparate incomes of the characters and how the more financially strapped of the friends must deal with the financial advantages of the others. Been there, done that.
"The One with the Baby on the Bus": Chandler and Joey prove just how stupid they can be when the inadvertently leave Ross's son Ben on a city bus. Phoebe's immortal "Smelly Cat" is introduced in this episode and she loses her performing gig at Central Perk, much to my chagrin as her strange lyrics and musical interpretation provided me with much mirth. The episode also contains a memorable guest appearance by Chrissie Hynde, who is Phoebe's replacement.
"The One Where Ross Finds Out": Rachel has a hilariously bad date that leads to a drunken confession of her feelings for Ross on his answering machine. What I love most about this ... Read More
