Product Description
From Amazon.com
"Closure. That's what it is, that's what I need." So determined a drunken Rachel in the season 2 episode "The One Where Ross Finds Out." And closure is what this mega-hyped series finale gives loyal and faithful viewers who have been there for Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey, even when Friends seemed stuck in second gear. Television's most popular and comforting comedy did go gently into that good night, packing off new parents Monica and Chandler to the suburbs to start a family; domesticating the once free-spirited Phoebe, and, yes, finally bringing star-crossed, on-again-off-again Ross and Rachel together ("I got off the plane" will take its place in series lore alongside, "We were on a break").
There were some keenly felt absences, most notably Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles as Monica and Ross's maddening parents, and very few surprises, save for one climactic Ross revelation that allowed David Schwimmer's hapless character one of the episode's best lines: "We almost made it 10 years without that coming out." Gunther professing his unrequited love for Paris-bound Rachel was a nice grace note for one of the series' most valuable players, as was the touching, sniffle-inducing ending in which each Friend turned in their key to the apartment each had shared at one time or another over the past 10 years. In the end, it was all about Ross and Rachel, but it seems we will not have ultimate closure until the inevitable reunion special, "The One with Ross and Rachel's Wedding." Until then, between reruns and home video, Friends fans need not fret. As singer Dan Hicks once said, how can we miss them when they won't go away? --Donald Liebenson

4 STARS should have been 5
May 16 2004
This DVD like the series is amazing, FRIENDS truly was one of the best series finales of all right along with FRASIER, NBC sure knows how to pick lasting, enduring and moving shows.
My only complaint with this DVD is that they were remiss in not including the 40 mins prior to the finale of all the gangs funniest clips, other than that the DVD is perfect.
I also love the extended version of the finale as well as the broadcast one. Also I was wondering has anyone else noticed that in the 10 YEARS OF BEGINNINGS segment that in Season 6 the credits list every cast member with the last name ARQUETTE lol , was DAVID busier than we thought that year ? apparently he not only married Courtney but all of our other friends. has anyone else noticed this ? if not look and see I dont know if all the DVDs are made like that or I have a special one, though I doubt it.
BRAVOOOOOOOOO to FRIENDS , I matured along with the show and through the show I had MANY laughing moments and shedded several tears as well.

Good-bye Friends
May 6 2004
It has not been 1 hour since the last eposide of Friend aired, and I see that there are 2 negtive reveviews of it already, and I guess they were never really a big fan of the show, so I don't know why they bothered tuning in tonight to see it end. And it is hard to believe that the Friends series finale is coming on dvd, since the company of Friends has brought out season 7, but pretty soon, all 10 seasons should be on dvd. And WGN TV is still planning to air the repeats of the seires, and if you don't have WGN TV, and you like Friends you cna get up to season 7 on video or dvd. It starts with Ross Gellar (David Schwimmer) and Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in bed, and they finishing a night of a good-byes, because Rachel is leaving for Paris. And at that same time Ross' sister Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) is in the hospital with her husband Chandler (Matthew Perry), when Erica (Anna Faris) is in labor. And she gives birth to a boy, but what neither Chandler, Monica or Erica knows there is another baby yet to be born, but the doctor delievering the baby knows. And Erica thinks the 2 heartbeats are her's and the baby's. And the 2nd baby is a girl, which they name Erica. But the rest of the friends doesn't know that there are two babies, nad had made signs for one baby. Just what to see the look of thier faces when they find out, which I am not going to spoil for you if you haven't seen the series finale yet.

A Must-Have DVD !!
April 14 2004
This DVD is the biggest marketing action I've ever seen : Warner has decided to release the Friends Series Finale onto DVD, just 5 days after its airing on NBC !
But it's not because it's to make money that it's not good !! ;-). Indeed, every Friends Fan will want to own this Exclusive Limited Edition of the #1 comedy of the 90s, to watch it again and again ! Because, first of all, it's a collector item, that every real Friends fan should have, and second of all, because, it seems that Warner has decided to slow down the releases of the Compelte Seasons on DVD, according to some sources, and as a matter of fact, as already 2 seasons have been released so far in 2004 (the 6th and the 7th season), only one left could come out this year (the 8th) rather between September and December 2004. So, this would mean that the deluxe 4-Dsic set of The Complete Tenth Season wouldn't be released until 2005 ! So, this Limited Edition DVD will enable the fans to wait until the release of the entire season !
But, let's go back to the "collector item" thing if you doubt to buy this DVD... Collector because of :
- The packaging which does very collector-ish
- The number of DVDs produced (available for a limited time only !)
- And last but not least great bonus features ! Here's what this Special DVD is due to offer :
. The 2 parts Series Finale, including [Never]-[Before]-[Seen]-[Footage]
. The Series Pilot, also including [Never]-[Before]-[Broadcasted]-[Moments] (which are included on The Complete First Season DVD)
. "I'll Be There For You" Music Video featuring the Rembrandts
. "Phoebe Battles the Pink Robots" Music Video, featuring the Flaming Lips and directed by Kevin Bright
. A montage of the opening credits, which shows the progression of the series through the opening theme song from each season.
That's right : all that on only one DVD, for such a cheap prize ! A Must-Have DVD I tell you !(...)
And, what about what happens in the Series Finale ? Well, nothing is really sure yet and anyway, I won't reveal it here if some of you haven't seen the 10th season yet. Let's just say that Monica and Chandler finally see their dream to have a baby come true and that Ross and Rachel must finally end up together again.... Anyway, as the executive producers swore it : "The show will end with an happy destiny for each friend." That's all we want after all for our best buddies, what they deserve the best.

Friends was great for one season. Afterwards, I feel it went down hill and going down the deep bottlemless well at the bottem of the hill was the wretched and horrible finale. Read more
