Just Fantastic - By: CJ, 06 Nov 2009 
Beautifully crafted comedy with every episode a gem. Series 3 is great with hardly a weak moment.
Not the latest BOX SET with 4 DVDs with X-tra material!!!!! - By: Jan, 26 Sep 2008 
I collect this series, & due to space limitations I want the NEWEST box set consisting of TWO SLIM cases containing FOUR DVDs, including one DVD with EXTRA MATERIAL. This reduces the required shelf space to a staggering 1/3!!! as compared to the original edition. The product AMAZON offers as NEW EDITION is an old product from 2002 or earlier containing THREE SLIM cases, one for each of the ordinary DVDs, & the BOX set is therefore 50% thicker. I bought series 1 & 2 in a local store, but series 3 from AMAZON. However, at arrival I was disappointed discovering the Season 3 box set wasn't what I expected! You can't tell the difference between these boxes by looking at the picture, because the box front design, as far as I can tell, is identical!!!
Required shelf space for 10 seasons: Original edition 48cm, Amazon "New Edition" 24cm, & LATEST edition: 16cm.
What about the empty cases & boxes for the series? - Many must have the complete 10 seasons by now & need the space saving for their own collection! Yes, they are available, but is it slim cases & is it the a set of two slim cases for the three DVDs?
They'll always be there for you - By: Ernie the cat, 28 Dec 2007 The newest & final addition to my Friends collection (not quite sure how I ended up purchasing this one last). I haven't seen some of these episodes for years but they still had me in tears of laughter. How can anyone not find episodes such as the Princess Leia fantasy hilarious? And the episodes when Ross & Rachel ARE ON A BREAK (!) absolutely heartbreaking. Another absolutely brilliant series from the show that just kept getting better & better.
EMOTIONAL YET HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - By: J. N. Maidment, 06 Oct 2007 This series takes the six friends through they lowest points. With problems for Ross & Rachel, Chandler & Janice, Monica & Richard. This series brings a tear to your eyes. However, the jokes are still hilarious. This series if the best one it is a MUST BUY FOR THE WHOLE FSMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were on a break! - By: Scotty NY, 28 Apr 2007 Thank God the writers weren't!
I'm not a big fan of 'cute' sitcoms overflowing with 'cute' people, but Friends just wipes me out. It's so much more than just a gang of attractive people going through contrived situations, spouting contrived lines. The writing, acting, direction are alll of the highest quality, & that's why it was so popular, year after year after year. It was no promotion stunt that saw each of the stars on $1m an episode by the final season! It's unusual to find a show with 6 lead characters in which alll 6 can actuallly take the lead. Usuallly, one or two of the characters are head & shoulders above the others, so everything has to revolve around them & when things don't, the show fallls flat. Friends reallly bucks that rule. The dialogue is so sharp & the characters so well drawn that virtuallly any show, involving any storyline, around any character is a knockout success. Season 3 is one of my favourites. It's both touching & funny how Ross & Rachel finallly get it together in season 2 after making viewers wait so long. And that's only the start - without spoiling anything, things don't exactly run smoothly in season 3. 'The' argument is one of my favourite episodes. Absolutely hilarious. So much so, it spawned a long running catchphrase. If you've never watched Friends, you missed out on some of the best TV of the last decade. And I'm so jealous - I wish I could experience it alll for the first time again!
