Throughout its phenomenal run, Friends demonstrated that familiarity doesn't always breed contempt. But isn't it nice that even after 10 years, we could still learn something new about these intimately observed characters? Tidbits revealed in the episode "The One Where the Stripper Cries": Ross (David Schwimmer) and Monica (Courtney Cox Arquette) used to entertain at family gatherings as Donny and Marie; ("Oh God, that's right," remembers Rachel. "I blocked that out.") and Chandler (Matthew Perry) kissed Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) at a college party in the 1980s. The best was saved for "The Last One": At one time, Ross (David Schwimmer) pursued being a professional dancer ("Do you realize we almost made it 10 years without that coming up?," he remarks).

Friends' tenth season is all about life changes and closure. Monica and Chandler buy a house and make plans to adopt. Once New Age free spirit Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) gets married. Rachel is offered a job in Paris, prompting Ross to finally proclaim his love. Two of Friends's most invaluable players are granted worthy send-offs. Janice (Maggie Wheeler) resurfaces as a prospective homebuyer in the house next door to Monica and Chandler in "The One Where Estelle Dies," and Central Perk fixture Gunther (James Michael Tyler) at last professes his adoration of Rachel in "The Last One." Christina Applegate makes a welcome return in "The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits" and Danny DeVito is the unlikely and very temperamental stripper in "The One Where the Stripper Cries." Greg Kinnear is at his smarmy best as Ross's new girlfriend's Nobel-prize-winning ex-boyfriend in "The One with Ross' Grant." Dakota Fanning has a sweet scene with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) in "The One with Princess Consuela" and Anna Faris joins Paul Rudd (Phoebe's husband Mike, a.k.a. Crap Bag in "Princess Consuela") as a recurring cast member in "The One with the Birth Mother."

Friends' final season quickly recovers from the Joey-Rachel misstep to find its consistent and satisfying groove. As each Friend turns in their key to the apartment each had shared at one time or another over the past 10 years in "The Last One," could Friends end on a happier or more poignant note? This final addition to the Friends DVD library, too, rises to the momentous occasion with a more generous package of features, including a lengthy gag reel and reflections from the ensemble. --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need is Friends :) March 30, 2006

A Kid's Review

Format:DVD

Let me start out by saying that I probably owe my life to Friends. They kept me going through some tough times, and I always knew I could look forward to Thursday nights at 8pm. Now that Friends has ended, while I am terribly sad, I now can buy these DVDs and watch Friends whenever I want.

Season 10 is wonderful. I must say that I prefer the newer seasons, probably from season 6 on. The Monica and Chandler relationship is amazing, and Phoebe and Mike are perfect together. Of course, we still have Rachel and Ross, who are the best couple. Going into season 10, there were some questions: what would happen with Monica and Chandler's adoption ideas? what about Rachel and Ross? What would Rachel and Joey turn into? And then we knew Phoebe would be getting married...

All of these questions are answered in season 10. I have to say that my favorite episode is The Last One, which is an hour long episode that is truly remarkable. I had high expectations for the last episode, and my expectations were more than exceeded. The writers managed to keep the last episode funny, cheeful, romantic, and completely beautiful and amazing. Everything turns out the way it's supposed to.

This DVD set comes with some great extras, including many hilarius gag reels and interviews with the cast.

Some other favorite episodes in season ten are:

The One with Ross's Tan [Ross decides to get a spray on tan... but things don't turn out quite right. Meanwhile Phoebe and Monica try to avoid their old friend Amanda who will keep you laughing for hours.]

The One Where Rachel's Sister Baby-sits. [Christina Applegate is remarkable. This episode is fantastically done.]

The One with the Late Thanksgiving.... [Monica is forced to cook Thanksgiving for the Friends, but to her great anger, everybody arrives late. This episode is extremely powerful, especially some of the visual aspects.]

The One with Phoebe's Wedding. [Phoebe's big day takes a surprising turn when a huge blizzard hits town. The wedding turns out to be right outside of Central Perk, the Friends' local hangout, and this is really sweet considering that it is one of the last episodes.]

The One Where Joey Speaks French. [Just imagine Joey speaking French]

The One with Princess Consuela. [Phoebe changes her name... but not to Phoebe Hannigan... to something much different!]

The One where Estelle Dies [The Joey-Phoebe relationship in this episode is priceless]

The One with Rachel's Going Away Party. [This episode had me in tears. Rachel says goodbye to each Friend individually, but she doesn't say anything to Ross. Ross, thinking she forgot about him, is very upset, and let's Rachel know.]

The Last One. [I'm not going to put in a caption for this one... just watch it.]

This is a fantastic buy. You will laugh and cry as you watch these young people begin their adult lives. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars i will miss FRIENDS October 12, 2005

By N. Hawthorn

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

i own all the 9 seasons available so far and will buy 10 as soon as it comes out. i agree with some of the reviews that season 10 wasn't as good as some of the other seasons, like 5 and 6, but it IS still Friends.

and to all those who think this that the Friends are disfunctional and highly unrealistic, therefore the show is stupid, i just have to say -- since when do you watch anything coming out of Hollywood for a glimpse of reality? the show is very entertaining, therefore it serves its purpose. i'll miss it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars I feel like I'm betraying an old friend, but... December 30, 2005

By ElaineReads

Format:DVD

...I just don't like this season.

I own all 10 seasons on DVD, and I have always watched the entire set of discs for each season within a couple of weeks (if even that long!) of buying them but I just can't do that with season 10.

I've owned this for nearly two months and haven't finished the second disc. I have no desire to... The acting seems poor, the story lines seem forced and I really don't find the stories to be that great. Yes, there are still good moments in this season, but for the most part I think it's just a big yawn.

I love this show, don't get me wrong. I started watching back in 1995 and watched faithfully up until the series finale aired. I even cried knowing it was over. But really, what I miss is the classic moments of Friends. And I have them all on DVD so I can watch them any time I want, so it's not ALL bad. Especially considering the show went waay downhill when they started toying with the idea of Joey and Rachel as a couple...

Ah, that's just my opinion! Already I feel guilty for stating it...

If you're a fan and you own the other seasons, you've got to have this. The set wouldn't be complete without it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Final Feast of Friends August 12, 2005

By DEAN M. Dent

Format:DVD

Whereas most shows are creatively bankrupt by it's tenth season(with the exception of the Simpsons),Friends manages to have some inspired moments although it's obvious this show has long since seen better days.

Aside from the season only having 18 episodes,the season's biggest flaw is knowing the end is near, and wrapping up things in a tidy package.The best episode (obviously) is the Finale whereas we know the fate of Ross and Rachal,seeing it unfold is one of the most inspired moments of the entire series.Other classic episodes include TOW...Ross'Tan,...The Late Thanksgiving,...Phoebe's Wedding,and ...The Goodbye Party.

After ten years, 236 episodes, and more classic moments than any show could have given us,Friends will live on in not only Re-runs,DVDs and spinoffs(Joey), but in the hearts of those that it has touched.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's THE ONE BEFORE THE LAST ONE?? August 23, 2005

By JJ Stark VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

I'm so happy to finally be able to add the tenth & final season of Friends to my collection! As much as I have enjoyed watching the final season all over again, as well as the bonus material included on the fourth disc, I'm very disappointed that the one hour retrospect, THE ONE BEFORE THE LAST ONE (the special that was aired immediately before the final episode), is not included. There is a special "feature" with interviews with each of the cast members & producers of the show which includes some flashback clips, but it really isn't the same.

I really enjoyed watching the one-hour retrospect, and have in fact, gone back to watch my video taped episode more often than I've watched my DVD copy of the Final Episode. The one hour special was great, featuring a segment of clips on each cast member/character with highlights of weddings, break-ups, fights, love scenes, and other important moments weaved in between. The final montage featuring the song THE REASON and the look at the final curtain call with the song WALK ON were especially heartfelt, and something I would have really enjoyed watching again along side season ten.

Since season ten was a shortened season with only 18 episodes, the fourth disc is dedicated to all the bonus material. The 45 minute gag reel is hilarious, but I could have done without the extended Conan/Arnold skit. I also think that instead of featuring outtakes and bloopers from seasons 1-6, that just Season Ten outtakes should have been included and the rest of of them saved and added to the series collection, as well as some other added material, making THE ONE WITH ALL TEN SEASONS worth the additional purchase (see my review of THE ONE WITH ALL TEN SEASONS).... Perhaps, this would have allowed enough space to have included THE ONE BEFORE THE LAST ONE.

Of course, FRIENDS will always be one of my favorite TV shows, and I'll watch the DVDs frequently. It sure took them long enough to release the final few seasons, but I'm glad to have had the chance to buy each & every one. The shows themselves & the gag reel get 5 stars, but the missing ONE BEFORE THE LAST ONE and the [boring] Conan skit cause me to lower my review to 3 stars. I also think the producers should have waited a little longer before releasing all ten seasons as one collection, and added some extra material to that set. This way, fans could have purchased Season Ten this year, and still had something to look forward to. The way it stands now, the fans of FRIENDS have nothing new to look forward to, as it's all been put out there already. Read more ›
