Friends has matured into one of the few sitcoms that can truly be judged "must-see." The ensemble cast--Courteney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc--provide a master class in chemistry in this four-tape set. The first volume includes some of the best of the Ross-Rachel episodes, including "Pilot" (the one that started their star-crossed relationship), in which runaway bride Rachel moves in with Monica. Other episodes include "The One Where Ross Finds Out" and "The One with the Prom Video," which finally bring Ross and Rachel together. Highlights of the second volume are the two-part "The One with Ross's Wedding," in which Ross famously blurts the wrong name at the altar, launching Monica and Chandler's secret affair, and two fifth-season gems, "The One with All the Thanksgivings" and "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" (about Monica and Chandler). Volume 3 includes another hilarious Chandler-Janice hookup in "The One with the Candy Hearts," the Thanksgiving grudge match for the precious Geller Cup in "The One with the Football," and a roads-not-taken episode called "The One That Could Have Been." Finally, the fourth volume contains two great Thanksgiving episodes, "The One with Chandler in a Box" and "The One Where Ross Got High." Relive other series milestones, including "The Hundredth Episode," in which Phoebe gives birth to triplets; "The One with All the Resolutions," in which Rachel finds out about secret couple Monica and Chandler; and "The One with the Proposal," in which Chandler's plans to propose to Monica are complicated by the reappearance of her lost love Richard (Tom Selleck). --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Could This Show Be Any Funnier?, February 27, 2002

By	Deanna (Maryland) - See all my reviews

First of all, let me begin by saying that I'm addicted to Friends. These videos are my most prized possessions in my movie collection. No matter how I feel, I can pop these tapes into my VCR and laugh my worries away. These six characters (Rachel Green, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Ross Geller, Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani) are so engaging, you can't help but get engrossed in this series! I've never watched a TV show that actually makes me laugh out loud and root for a couple to get back together (watch "The One Where Ross Finds Out" and "The One With the Prom Video" and you'll understand the whole Ross and Rachel saga) like Friends. There's a reason why this show will be entering it's ninth season this September- it's amazing! Even if you have never seen this show before, after watching just one of these episodes, you'll be hooked!

The Pilot
"The One With Two Parts"
"The One With All The Poker"
"The One Where Ross Finds Out"

5.0 out of 5 stars Why are you reading this? They're not the best for nothing!, November 25, 2002

By	David Traill (Stuart, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The cast of Friends is almost always thoroughyly enjoyable, and this collection shows why. The extended episodes and "classic" episodes that we have watched so many times and yet still laugh out loud at are included here. Of course, there are more than one greatest hist set to choose from, but you won't go wrong with whatever you choose. I have loaned these to several friends who were sick and wanted to stay home all day to be cheered up. You won't go wrong by gettign these episodes and enjoying them whenver you need the pick-me-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insanely hilarious & addicting, May 20, 2002

By	"juj" (Manila) - See all my reviews

To begin with, I was never a fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I did not watch any of its episodes on TV nor did I have any interest in any of the stars. Then, one day, my husband took home some VCDs & voila! I got totally HOOKED!

Despite the 'matured theme', all episodes were tastefully done & it is something you would simply enjoy watching.

So sit back & relax, laugh your tonsils out, watch the gang & wish that you have lovable friends like them. (& oh yeah, watch out for the next tapes/discs to be released in the market)
