Friends - The Complete Series Collection
| Friends - The Complete Series Collection |
Most sitcoms run out of ideas by the fifth season, but Friends gave itself a refreshing jolt the minute Monica and Chandler wound up in bed together. Their budding romance was not only the one of the funniest arcs of the series, but one of the most sentimental, as they planned a wedding, struggled to have a child and eventually turned to adoption. By seasons seven and on, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs.
But no star power ever penetrated the bond between the six stars, and their unmatchable chemistry worked for 10 seasons. Even if the show is on reruns daily, this boxed set of Friends remains watchable over and over again--even if that theme song grates on your nerves. Standout episodes include The One With All The Poker (Season 1), The One With The Birth (1), The One With the Prom Video (2), The One With the Flashback (3), The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends (3), The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break (3), The One With the Embryos (4), The One With All the Wedding Dresses (4), The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (5), The One Where Everybody Finds Out (5), The One Where Ross Got High (6), The One With the Videotape (8), The One With the Rumor (8), The One With the Male Nanny (9), The One With Rachel's Other Sister (9), The One With Ross' Tan (10), and The One Where the Stripper Cries (10). --Ellen A.

 Rating:  - Very pleased!Shipping was fast, the DVD''s were all in place and have had no problem with skipping or messing up play. Great product, great price, great service. Rating: - Relieved and happy with purchaseWhile I read many good reviews here prior to making my purchase, I was initially worried when I also read many negative reviews here mentioning poor product packaging, product arriving in poor shape, product missing the episode-guide booklet, episodes not in chronological order (?), missing discs, and damaged discs that would not play properly among other problems (one review mentioned a disc where the laugh track was audible but dialogue was not?!). I went ahead and ordered thinking I would inspect it right away and return it if it was flawed in any way ($134.99 is a GREAT price although I guess I just missed an all-time low price of $114.99). Not only did I receive the product promptly (less than 48 hours after the order went through). It arrived in perfect condition. I immediately tested all 40 discs (playing the start of random episodes on each disc) and I found NO PROBLEMS (by the way, the episodes ARE in chronological order and each disc DOES have a main menu which makes it very easy to go to any specific episode). I sympathize with those who received a damaged or incomplete product. I, for one, am very happy with my purchase. Not only am I satisfied with the product. Amazon.com's price, free shipping option, and speedy delivery time met my expectations as well. Rating: - Great ItemGreat series, great DVDs (excellent condition), great booklet, great box, great package. What could I say more? $114.99, that's a steal, that's the best deal of the year. Thank you Amazon. Anyway, the DVDs were in perfect condition. The booklet is unbelievable (great quality). Rating:  - Friends - The Complete Series CollectionThe entire fifth season was missing. No problem, I can purchase one season. There was a CD missing from the fourth season. And a CD missing from the sixth season. In order to have a complete set of the first six seasons, I will have to purchase three years! Rating:  - Not Official DVD SetThe DVDs are generally fine, although this is NOT the official DVD Friends boxset. It's a copy and doesn't come with the standard booklet that comes with the real DVDs (although it's really not a big deal since that booklet has nothing useful in it but some glossy images and fluff). The DVDs are wrapped in a loose plastic container which was weird. But the DVDs work fine. Only complaints are the menu button only goes to the general disc menu, not the episode guides, and the DVDs will run repeatedly for hours on end unless you specifically turn it off. Also I think I'm missing disc 36. They should really say this is not the official licensed DVD!
