Advantages: Good price, excellent programme, hilarious!! Disadvantages: Maybe only buy if you're a hard core Friends fan
...gentle!!!
I've been watching Friends pretty much since it first came out in 1994. I remember my mum sat me down with me on the settee on Friday night and said to me 'watch this, I think you'll like it'. And I've loved it ever since, it's always been my favourite programme. I bought all the videos when they first came out, then all the individual DVDs and finally this 10 series box set (I know, I'm a bit mental!) so I'm going to tell you about it.
... ...follows the lives of six friends in their mid 20's (at the start of the series) to their late 30's (at the end of the series).
**So it's an American comedy. Who are the characters in it?**
Okay, well we've got Rachel Greene (played by Jennifer Aniston). At the start of the series she is a spoilt snob who has spent her life living off her daddy's credit cards. She was going to get married but left her fiancé at the alter after realising that wasn't ...

Friends still manages to entertain me & you can never tire of the humour in the show even after all the years & all the countless re-runs of episodes. So for those of you who haven't watched the show i highly recommend you buy it as you wont be disappointed. ...

Advantages: Great comedy Disadvantages: A distinct lack of extra's
...extras
The writing of Friends for the most part is so strong that it affords itself many extra's who dont just become one off supporting roles, but recurring guest characters. The most obvious ones are Gunther, Central Perk manager who lusts after Rachel, and the incredibly hilarious Janice, the nerve-grating ex-lover of Chandler. Every couple of years, her character is brought back for another hilarious coincidental meeting that results in increasing ... ...And its this that makes Friends such a well rounded show to view. The actor's who have appeared range through Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Charlie Sheen, Paul Rudd and most famously Tom Selleck who had a recurring role that lasted over 10 years. The actors
The main actors from Friends were mostly far less known than the guest stars they eventually would ensnare. But they were certainly born to play the coffee-swilling six-some. Jennifer Aniston ...

My sister has just brought me this from the states.
While this was on T.V, I tried to tune into every episode, only missing one or two now and then. I really wanted to own them all, but never got round to it, or couldn't afford it.
Friends, the much loved series of a group of 6 buddies, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Chandler, and brother and sister Monica and Ross, captured audiences for just over a decade, with their life and love antics. The series finally ... ...series of all time, with desperate fans wanting more and more.
I personally loved all the series, and I could have never of got bored of it. My favourite characters were phoebe and Ross, they just cracked me up.
I loved the episodes where Ross was getting his fake sun tan, and making a complete mess of it, and the one where Ross said the wrong name at the wedding, what a cliff hanger that was.
The series was bound to come too a close sometime ...

Friends had always made me laugh..... whenever i was sad, an episode of friends always cheered me up. Every episode was filled with numerous gags and jokes and every story was a whole new adventure.....

Friends must be the greatest sitcom of all time. The mixture of 6 very different individuals made the series, six times more interesting. It wasn't like the other sitcoms out there..., every episode had 6 different plots of six middle aged people going through life. Every character had their different personalities, and each person had something very weirdly funny about them.

Advantages: Hilliarious comedy, outstanding acting, great storylines. Disadvantages: Prehaps a bit expensive?
I've watched Friends regliously since it started back in 1994, and when it finished in 2004, I wondered what I would do with my Thursday evenings from then on! Thankfully I found the answer in the form of this fantastic box set. It allows me to have my regular dose of Friends aswell as keeping the DVDs clean and tidy at the same time.

...a die hard fan of friends ever since the beginning. I remember sitting down to watch the fist ever pilot wondering what this new US sitcom would bring. I found the first series funny and quite watchable but wasnt really blown away.

...big brother used to watch friends all the time and that's when I got into it. It isn't as repetitive as some other American sitcoms.
Friends is a sitcom about six friends living in New York, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, Ross, Monica and Rachel.

Rachel is addicted to fashion. She entered the series as a spoilt girl who had run away from her wedding. She turned up in the coffee shop in her wedding dress. She always wanted to find a job in fashion and eventually ends up working at Ralph Lauren.
I am totally addicted to Friends (along with many other people). I was really sad when the final series ended but at least ...

Advantages: Great fun for all the family, almost Disadvantages: Could have made more of the same
I never really watched friends when it first came out in '94 as after watching the pilot episode I was not impressed at all. But years later I am the owner of the entire 10 series and I watch them regularly.
There are a few things that are questionable, like why did the writers change Joey Tribiannies character from a two-bit actor into a bit of a stupid two-bit actor? In the pilot episode he came across as a bit of a charmer with a brain, then ... ...who agreed when he asked.
Friends is probably not for everyone and, like me, it may take more than one episode to get into but if you do get the chance then it is worth persevering as it does become addictive with the quick banter and dry wit of the entire cast. Some of the DVDs have extra, such as outtakes and the soundtrack sung by the Rembrants,danced by the cast.
Also, if you slot the dvds into your PC then there are many more bits to see. ...

Advantages: Every episode, cut scenes, hilarious Disadvantages: Colour issues on one or two episodes
This Friends box set contains thirty DVD's in total that hold every episode of Friends from series one to ten. The normal retail price of the box set is £200 though it can be found a lot cheaper recently. I picked it up in HMV just before Christmas 2009 for just £60 - a bargain! The discs are contained in sleek slimline cases that then fit inside a cardboard outside cover that slots neatly and compact into the box. As any Friends fanatic will know, ... ...that you can just watch Friends all the time on E4 - two episodes, back to back and then repeated on E4+1 and hour later. While this is true, E4 do tend to repeat the same set of episodes over and over again, although they are from a variety of series. But the one great thing about owning every series, is that you can watch them in sequence and follow the storyline, which mainly focuses around Ross and Rachael's relationship, and also you get to ...

...one episode of friends. Friends saw the characters Rachel, Joey, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Ross become household names across the globe and everyone's best friends. There was never a sitcom like it before and there never will be again, Friends is simply unbeatable. Sorry if my love for the show is coming through in the review slightly, I'd hate to think I'd been biased towards it in anyway.
Well due to my love for the series I do recognize it ... ...if you are a big friends fan like me, it is slightly disappointing there isn't an added extra DVD with bonus material. All you get in the box set is exactly what you would get if you bought them separately. The DVD extras that are included include behind the scenes footage and some interviews with cast members. There's also the Friends theme song video and a Friends around the world documentary.
However, basically if your buying this box set or ...
