Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Season 1: When the first series of Friends debuted in September 1994, it was immediately obvious there would be no need for the show to find its feet. "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate" was a confident introduction to the six lead characters, opening in the middle of an everyday conversation with the soon-to-be uncharacteristic line: "There's nothing to tell". In fact, the soap opera-style plot got complicated pretty quickly, with spoiled brat Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) moving on from her failed wedding to feelings toward nerdy/heartthrob Ross (David Schwimmer). However, no love life was more complicated than Joey's (Matt LeBlanc), with an endless stream of girlfriends that annoyed the hell out of wisecracking roommate Chandler (Matthew Perry), who only seemed to be able to connect with Janice (Maggie Wheeler), the shrillest voice in the city. Bouncing all manner of neuroses around them were Ross' obsessive sister Monica (Courteney Cox) and endearingly ditzy Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow). Premise established, Series 1 matured the characters by providing a monkey and a son for Ross. We met also meet Ross and Monica's parents Jack (Elliott Gould) and Judy (Christina Pickles), Chandler's mother (Morgan Fairchild) and Phoebe's twin sister Ursula (Kudrow, naturally). Fans loved cameos from George Clooney, Jay Leno and show creators Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane. But really the focus was on building to "T.O.W. Rachel Finds Out" that Ross is in love with her. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the best series yet!,
This review is from: Friends - Series 9 Episodes 5-8 [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
this series is shaping up to be one of the best yet (and it has a lot to be compared to!) those who felt that series 9 was taking it too far (and that includes me) should eat their words. one of the highlights of this box set is certainly the renewal of chemistry between ross and rachel, something that previous series' had lost. the 'will they or wont they' senario is back, with amusing consequences. highlights of this particular video include phoebes birthday party, the one with freddie prinze-junior guest-starring as ross and rachel's male nanny, and the hilarious sight that is ross and rachel rapping 'baby got back' to their baby. overall one of the best friends videos yet!

"THE ONE WHERE I WRITE THE 1ST REVIEW!",
By A Customer
This review is from: Friends - Series 3 Episodes 5-8 [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Okay,this is a great video,especially the episodes with Monica's new bed(which ain't what she expected!)Joey builds a VERY LARGE entertainment centre for the guys apartment,which leads to a stupid,but kinda funny bet.Ross gets the surprise of his life as Isabella Rossellini walks into the coffee house,but he tells her a bit TOO MUCH about who he'd like to sleep with!The 2nd episode is the BEST EPISODE ON THE VIDEO because the gang remember 3 years ago when Rachel fantasised about one of the guys(not Ross!)Pheobe gets kinky with one of the other guys who HINT HINT has just found out that his wife is a lesbian.Chandler gets a shock in the 3rd episode as Joey reveals that "HEELLOO CHANDLA BANG" Janice has been cheating on him.Pheobe becomes convinced that she has killed the ugly naked guy who lives across the street in the 4th episode so the gang decide to constuct a long pole to prod him with.This episode isn't one of the best though.Overall an excellent video which will provoke a lotta laughs,and a few tears.

Classic Friends!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Friends - Series 1 Episodes 5-8 [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
This video combines some of the best episodes of Friends seen. It contains The One With the East German Laundry Detergent where Ross and Rachel have fun and the laundrette, The One With The Butt where Joey gets the role of Al Pacino's bum and gets fired for overacting, The One With the Blackout sees New York plunge into darkness causing Rachel to meet Paulo and Chandler to be trapped in a vestibule with Julie Goodacre finally The One Where Nana Dies Twice sees Monica and Ross' Nana die, come back to life and die again. As ever the Friends are hillarious and this video's worth buying just for The One With the Blackout.
