Friends' penultimate season could well be called "The One with All the Romantic Arcs." Phoebe meets Mike (Paul Rudd virtually joining the ensemble). Rachel attempts to "move on" from Ross with a rival co-worker (guest star Dermot Mulroney). Ross meets Charley (Aisha Tyler, welcome colorblind casting), a paleontologist with an intimidating roster of Nobel Prize-winners in her dating history (so, of course, she hooks up with Joey). Other storylines, including Chandler's transfer to Tulsa and Rachel's sudden lust for Joey, are not as compelling as previous seasons', and an indication that inspiration is flagging. But while one is hard-pressed to add any of these episodes to the Friends pantheon, what redeems the season are the grace notes: Phoebe channeling a New England WASP to impress Mike's parents ("The One with Ross's Inappropriate Song") or playing naughty girl to Ross's "daddy" ("The One with the Lottery"); Joey's confession that he doesn't get it when people punctuate the air with finger quotes ("The One Where Emma Cries"); and Chandler's discomfort (and ultimate revenge) as an audience member at a ranting feminist's one-woman show ("The One with the Soap Opera Party").
On the guest star front, Friends welcomes back Jon Lovitz, who reprises his character from the classic first-season episode, "The One with the Stoned Guy" in "The One with the Blind Dates," and Hank Azaria as David the "Science Guy" who returns to complicate Phoebe's love life. Christina Applegate is a riot as "Rachel's Other Sister," and it's surprising that NBC didn't go all Suddenly Susan on Freddie Prinz Jr. after his surprisingly funny stint in "The One with the Male Nanny." Selma Blair is a seductive co-worker who makes a play for Chandler in "The One with Christmas in Tulsa," and Jeff Goldblum portrays a master thespian who mistakes Joey's urge to urinate as method acting. For Friends fanatics, it's a coup to get the episodes complete and uncut as opposed to their commercial-laden syndicated counterparts. For more casual viewers, let's just say of this comparatively lackluster season (by Friends' own gold standards) that the show was on a break. --Donald Liebenson

Compared to Season 1, Season 9 is a totally different yet equally as funny production. The opening year of the series exuded the feel of winter in New York City. The cinematography, especially in the One with Two Parts with sets from Rif's Cafe and focus on Ursula, added a sentimental hue that evoked nostaliga in the shows older fans. By season nine, the show had evolved into a play, scenery and sets completely secondary to the words and movements of the actors. It works because we have watched the cast grow and age, just like us. Season 9 includes the utterly unbelievable "The One with the Shark" and the totally believable episode with Phoebe's birthday. It encompasses an event most of us have lived through. I didn't know how much I liked Season 9 until I left it in a hotel room in NYC. I'm buying my replacement copy now.

This is one of my favorites seasons of FRIENDS. It is the only one to be over 10 hours. That's because lots of them have a lot of extra footage. This season is really funny. It has some of the best lines like when Rachel said "Emma just said gleba." I love the one with the lottery.I think this season has some great guest stars,even one who was on Family Guy.
It also has some sad parts like when Monica and Chandler found out that they may never be able to have kids. Phoebe and Mike break up but at the end of the season they get back together. Rachel's other sister Amy appears and she is really funny. Rachel falls in in love with Joey. Rachel goes back to work and Chandler gets a new job. His boss is played by Phil Lewis. Phoebe sings some more funny songs and Charlie Wheeler first appears and a trip to Barbados. A great season that everyone will love.
And look out for Janice because she appears in this season and when you see her you'll be like OH MY GOD.
