5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one of the best! May 2, 2003

By Deanna

Format:DVD

Friends - The Complete Fourth Season is one of Friends' best and most memorable seasons. With happenings like Chandler spending Thanksgiving in a box, Phoebe becoming a surrogate mother for her half-brother, Ross getting married and saying Rachel's name instead of Emily's and of course, Monica and Chandler hooking up, the fourth season of Friends contains some of the show's best moments, which makes it a must have for any Friends fan.

1. "The One With the Jellyfish"- In Montauk, Ross dumps bald Bonnie after kissing Rachel, who gave him an 18-page letter that he fell asleep reading. Chandler pees on Monica's jellyfish sting.

2. "The One With the Cat"- Phoebe finds a stray cat and she thinks that it's the reincarnation of her mother. Joey gets locked in his entertainment center that he is trying to sell, while the potential buyer robs the apartment.

3. "The One With the Cuffs"- Chandler and Joey furnish their looted apartment with a canoe and some patio furniture. Rachel's boss, Joanna, who is seeing Chandler, leaves him pantless and handcuffed in her office.

4. "The One With the Ballroom Dancing"- Treeger, the building's superintendent, threatens to evict the girls unless Joey can teach him to dance.

5. "The One With Joey's New Girlfriend"- Ross and Rachel attempt to make each other jealous with their new significant others. It turns out that Ross's new squeeze just wants him as a babysitter and Rachel's beau is an immature thief. Phoebe discovers her sexy phlegm voice while she has a cold.

6. "The One With the Dirty Girl"- Ross dates Cheryl (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), a paleontology doctoral candidate, who happens to be very sloppy. Chandler buys Kathy a copy of "The Velveteen Rabbit" as a birthday gift.

7....

8. "The One With Chandler in a Box"- It's Thanksgiving and as a punishment for Chandler for kissing Kathy, Joey makes him stay in a box. Monica injures her eye, goes to the ophthalmologist and the doctor turns out to be Richard's son.

9. "The One Where They Are Going to Party"- Monica's scathing review of a local restaurant gets her hired as a chef. Mike "Gandalf" Ganderson ("only, like, the funniest guy in the world" according to Ross) is coming to town. Joanna is killed by a cab.

10. "The One With the Girl From Poughkeepsie"- Monica is sick and tired of the staff at the restaurant treating her so badly, so she decides to hire Joey just to fire him in front of the crew to show them how tough she can be.

11. "The One With Phoebe's Uterus"- Frank Jr. and Alice ask Phoebe if she'll be a surrogate mother for them. Ross gets Joey a job as a tour guide for the museum.

12. "The One With the Embryos"- It is Rachel and Monica vs. Chandler and Joey in a game to find out who knows who the best ("He's a transponster!"). If the girls win, the guys have to get rid of their chick and duck. But if the guys win, they get the big, purple apartment. Phoebe undergoes implantation of Alice's embryos and later finds out that she is pregnant.

13. "The One With Rachel's Crush"- Kathy's sexy appearance in a play has got Chandler worried about her faithfulness. Rachel tries desperately and clumsily to get the attention of Joshua, a newly divorced client.

14. "The One With Joey's Dirty Day"- Rachel asks Ross to take out Mr. Waltham's niece from England, Emily. Monica and Phoebe try to help Chandler get over his breakup with Kathy by taking him to a strip club. Charlton Heston guest stars.

15. "The One With All the Rugby"- Trying to impress Emily's rugby playing friends, Ross takes up the sport.

16. "The One With the Fake Party"- When pregnant vegetarian Phoebe is tortured by her cravings for meat, Joey offers to trade dietary preferences with her. Rachel is determined to invite Joshua to an unplanned bon voyage party for Emily.

17. "The One With the Free Porn"- Joey and Chandler come upon an unscrambled porn channel and decide not to turn off the TV, in case that would make them lose it. Phoebe finds out that she's having triplets.

18. "The One With Rachel's New Dress"- Ross gets nervous when Emily hits it off with Susan (his ex-wife's lesbian lover).

19. "The One With All the Haste"- Rachel is irked by the singing neighbor across the alley and the battle to re-swap the apartments is on. Ross asks Emily to marry him.

20. "The One With All the Wedding Dresses"- Rachel blurts out an impromptu proposal to Joshua, which scares him off. Monica and Phoebe hang out in wedding dresses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best season July 17, 2003

By Lola L

Format:DVD

Season 4 could be the best season of "Friends", which is saying a lot, as this is, in my opinion and in the opinion of many others, the best show ever. It has had excellent ratings for years, and continues to be consistently funny every year. Sure, it has its low points, but even "Seinfeld" had episodes that weren't that funny.

Season 4 has such classics as TOW the Embryos, TOW the Worst Best Man Ever, and my personal favorite, TOW Chandler in a Box (Michael Vartan fans, this is the episode where he appears as Richard's son). These episodes alone make the DVD worth having. Now add 21 hilarious episodes to those, and that makes this the best buy ever.

If you're a "Friends" fan, this is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Season 4 The Best Season!!!! April 28, 2003

By Jason Grande

Format:DVD

In my opinion the fourth season of friends has to be the funniest of all of them for these reasons- ross & rachel getting back together(for a minute), the one where pheobe thinks the spirit of her mother is in a cat, also she has her brothers babies for him, ross meets emily and decides to propose, rachel in turn gets jealous, chandler and joey throw ross an engagement party that goes sour when the engagment ring becomes missing and ross says the wrong thing at his wedding!!! Plus the cast goes to london. Now this is only a taste of what season four is all about, you'll have to buy it to see the rest and it's totally worth the money . well enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the best May 24, 2008

By Bookphile TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Though Friends is admittedly getting a bit dated, in watching through the seasons once again, I am reminded of just why I loved this show so much. The brilliant writing, the chemistry and comedic talents of the actors, and the outrageous and irresistible characters add up to such an enjoyable viewing experience.

Season four is notable for the continuation of the Ross and Rachel saga, which ultimately culminates in Ross's marrying Emily but saying Rachel's names during his vows. The season serves to show how out of sync Rachel and Ross are and how really deluded they can be when they each try to convince themselves that they no longer feel anything for the other.

The gem of this season, though, is Phoebe becoming a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife. This means that we get to see more of Giovanni Ribisi as her hilarious brother and it is the season that had quite possibly one of the funniest lines in television, in which Frank Jr. exults in the news that his sister is pregnant with his baby. It also provides fodder for some very funny pregnancy gags, such as watching Rachel and Monica's well-intentioned shower for Phoebe go horribly awry.

This season also grants us some conflict between Joey and Chandler and especially helps to develop Chandler's character a bit further. When Chandler crosses the line with Joey's girlfriend Kathy, we see just how angry Joey can be--and also how generous and concerned for his friend's happiness. It's never been a secret that Chandler is afraid of commitment but his relationship with Kathy shows just how neurotic Chandler can be.

Perhaps best of all, this season really ends with a bang when Monica and Chandler finally get together.... Read more ›
