Friends - The Complete First Season

Friends has great humor that anyone in their early twenties or thirties would appreciate. This has all the episodes on the first season and all seasons have cool extra stuff.

Right from the start, this show proves itself to be on the funniest and most innovative comedies ever to have graced American TV screens. The pitch-perfect casting and the diversity of the six central characters is what propelled this sitcom to comedy perfection. This was truly an ensemble cast and the deletion of any one of the characters would have been disastrous to the series as a whole. I also think the naming of the episodes deserves mention for sheer cleverness as who doesn't discuss an episode of any series by using the words "the one where...".

Some of my personal favorites from season one:

"The One with the Boobies" in which Rachel gets more of an eyeful than she wanted. Joey must also deal with the realization that his parents are people too and that he won't always understand their motivations.

"The One with the Stoned Guy" contains classic scenes of Joey teaching Ross how to talk dirty which is easily one of the funniest exchanges in the history of the series. Chandler's reaction when he stumbles upon the two is nothing short of classic.

"The One Where Nana Dies Twice" introduces us to Chandler's ambiguously gay side and results in Chandler's being dissed by one of his homosexual coworkers.

"The One with the Ick Factor" spotlights Monica's very bad choice in dates. Her reaction upon learning the true age of her new man is hilarious and it is truly an episode with a great deal of "ick factor".

"The One Where Rachel Finds Out" kick starts the series-long Rachel and Ross saga. Their on-again-off-again romance has to be one of the most well-known TV romances and was a plot device that helped keep viewers tuning in episode after episode. Who among us hasn't suffered from unrequited love? We can't help but cheer Ross and Rachel on and suffer a sense of disappointment as Rachel's eventual discovery of feelings for Ross turns out to happen too late.

The great thing about this show is that even though I have seen many of these episodes many times I never tire of them. This is classic TV, particularly for those of my generation who were right there with the characters, experiencing the same relationship issues and career crises. I was heartbroken when this series ended and miss it to this day. Thank goodness it lives on in the immortality offered by DVD.

This is my favorite show. its one of the funniest ones. the first episode is ok but it feels like they had to explain a little bit more what happened to rachel.But all of the other episodes in the first season are hilarious. especially the one when ross goes to the emergency room.

received in a short amount of time and in great condition...no problems as of yet

My daughter is a big Friends fan so I bought this for her for Christmas. She was delighted and they were just what she wanted. They were brand new and worked perfectly.
