Product Description

From Amazon.com

Stunt casting stumbles (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Charlie Sheen) aside, it was a very good year for this beloved series, recently ranked by TV Guide as among the top 25 of all time. With the bar set so high from the first season, a sophomore slump could be expected, but, apart from a game Julia Roberts, only the hour-long episode raised the question whether success would spoil Friends. (This episode, "The One After the Super Bowl," convinced some misguided NBC executive that guest star Brooke Shields could carry her own series!) Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (an Emmy-worthy Jennifer Aniston) were the engine that drove the season and produced some of the series' most monumental episodes, including "The One with Ross' New Girlfriend," "The One Where Ross Finds Out" (with R & R's first kiss), "The One with the List," "The One with the Prom Video," and "The One Where Ross and Rachel... You Know." But this was not the only significant story arc.

Enter--and, in the bittersweet season finale, exit--Tom Selleck as Dr. Richard Burke, the family friend ("He's like a brother to... Dad," notes a disapproving Ross) who becomes Monica's (Courtney Cox) lover. Joey (Matt LeBlanc) finds success (albeit short-lived) as Dr. Drake Ramoray on "Days of Our Lives" and moves out ("We're not Bert and Ernie," he tells roommate Chandler). Future Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow's best season is to come, but, as Phoebe, she makes the most of some memorable subplots, including her shocked discovery of sad movie endings she had been shielded from ("The One Where Old Yeller Dies"), her dispute with Ross over evolution ("The One Where Heckles Dies"), and her channeling of an elderly woman who died on her massage table ("The One with the Lesbian Wedding"). Praise is due unsung hero Lauren Tom, so charming and sweet in the thankless role as Julie, the Girl Who Comes Between Ross and Rachel. Adam Goldberg also makes an indelible impression in his three-episode stint as Chandler's new "psycho" roommate. Notable omissions from this set include chapter stops for each episode, and uh, ahem, hel-LOH, how about commentary from the cast? --Donald Liebenson

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any FRIENDS fan., Nov 5 2002

This review is from: Friends: Season 2 (4 Discs) (DVD)
If you are a hardcore FRIENDS fan, you must buy this collection of DVDs.

I would've rated the DVsD 5 stars if it wasn't for the poor navigation of the menu. If you select PLAY (to play all the episodes), you cannot skip episodes. There aren't any scenes in the episodes, so if you want to jump to a specific section, you cannot do it. I had the same problem with the Season 1 collection. I was expecting the DVD producers would fix this on the 2nd Season, but they haven't.

Also it'a a bit difficult to find the extra features on these DVDs, since they don't say which features are on which DVDs, you have to either memorize it, write it down or just swap discs until you find what you're looking for.

But the FRIENDS episodes are GREAT and I find myself watching them over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for Friends fans, Oct 7 2002
By 
Scott Switzer (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Friends: Season 2 (4 Discs) (DVD)
The Friends DVD set have been a true gift for me. With the busy schedule I keep I can only catch the reruns a couple days a week so it feels like I am skipping all over the place trying to watch the continuing story lines. With the complete seasons that problem is fixed, on the nights I am home I watch 2 or 3 episodes in order and can watch them in the order they were meant to be seen. These DVDs also give you a couple of extra minutes per episode, and since most episodes are cut even more for syndication you are actually getting 4 or 5 minutes more footage per episode than you would see watching the reruns. Season two was the defining moment for this series, all of the big events happen during this year, capped by the Ross and Rachel relationship. If you are a friends fan this is a must have.

I loved friends for years and years, and they are FINALLY putting the seasons on DVD! I already have season one, and I am planning on preordering season 2! This is highely recommended to anyone who loves friends! I cannot wait to get season 2, mainly because they don't show much of season 2 on television anymore. ^^
