Friends: Season 1

They an interesting bunch of humans, those Friends. Different characteristics, represent different type of minds that exist in this called earth. It's impossible to believe that different characters playd by actuall living humans are being themselves can come together in peace in a sitcom. But for real humans who are the audience coming together is a challenge just bcs of race, beliefs, sex, ect... SAD but yet FRIENDS is Funny!

Ahhh, where it all started. The first line of dialogue is "There's nothing to tell". Rachel makes a dramatic entrance into the Friends' lives when she comes into the coffee house as a dripping wet bride. Ross just discovered his wife was a lesbian and she was planning to move in with her lover. Joey is just same old Joey, goofy and fun-loving. Chandler and his wacky stories, at the beginning of the first episode, he was telling the gang he had a dream that he was back in high school, butt-naked and there was a phone 'down there'. We learn Phoebe had a ex-boyfriend named Carl who ate chalk. At the end of the first episode, Ross asks Rachel out, but nothing ever came of it. As the debut season goes on, Rachel tries to quit Central Perk, but fails, Ross tries to get over Carol, but that doesn't work either, Rachel falls for an Italian hottie named Paolo, but he hits on Phoebe, which ends his and Rachel's relationship, Chandler gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre, Joey gets a part in a movie as Al Pacino's butt double, Monica falls for a guy 8 years younger than her, Barry (the man Rachel was supposed to marry), comes back in an episode and tells Rachel he still loves her, and Ross many times Ross tries to tell Rachel his true feelings for her, but something always got in the way. As you can see, there are many exciting events that occur in the first season, but there is only one way to find out what else happens. This is one of my favorite DVDs in the Friends collection. This DVD is defintely a great buy. Hope you enjoy it!!

Reviewing the programs: I'm not a fan of Friends, but i had watched many episodes in WBTV and they're really fun (even in it's 10th season).If you don't know who are the friends, they are Ross (David Schwimmer), a noble guy that is in love with Rachel Green (Jeniffer Aniston), she is the stereotiphycal girl that get all that she wants from her dad (until suddendly, decides to scape from her house and live at her own spense); Chandler (Mattew Perry), the insecure and sarchastic guy that is looking the love of his life, Monica (Cortney Cox), that in her childhood was a fat and insecure girl, Phoebee (Lisa Kudrow) that is completely nuts, and Joey, he pretends to be an actor, but with poor results; Somehow we can identify with one of them.Reviewing the DVD: This DVD collection has all of the 1st season episodes, and they are very funny, the audio and video are good (presented in full screen (this is not a movie, this is a TV program); in the extras section, you find and audio commentary in the pilot episode (sorry, no subtitles in the commentary), some featurettes like "inside Central Perk" and a trailer; in the language support, you get english audio track; english, french, spanish and korean subtitles; the episodes are longer than 30 minutes (i guess they indeed have new footage), there are no fades to black (where should be the commercials, maybe "The Simpsons" could learn something about this), an the play all option is great (you can forget where you leave your remote control!)Maybe the only flaw is the priceIf you want a good laugh or if you're a Friends fan, you'll love this collection

Quality book w great still photos & background plot on each of the 236 episodes. I'm new to watching Friends & find this a wonderful keepsake for the show.

Relatively wholesome content. Good jokes.

Great TV Show: however, I cancelled it because my wife ordered it by mistake.
