Product Description

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

As a friends fan of many episodes, it was great for me to finally see the beginning of the whole saga.
The four episodes are a great place to kick off your collection, and althought they're not the best ones, they are still of high quality, and it's important to remember that these were early days. The first Simpsons episodes looked comparitivly crude, but as with friends, the humour was still there, bursting with potential.
Buy it, laugh at the great writing (except for Chandler), and when you're done with that, pause the tape on Joey and have a good old laugh at his haircut :0D.
Includes:
- the one where it all began.
(Rachel invites herself in to become Monica's flatmate when she dumps her pheonsay at the alter)
- the one whit the sonogram at the end.
(Ross finds out that his ex-wife Carol is pregnant)
- the one whith the thumb.
(Phoebe has money accidentally accredited to her account)
- the one with George Stephanopoulos.
(Pizza deliveries go wrong)

Friends is one of the greatest shows of the nineties. There's no denying that fact. Hate to sound melodramatic but this video is a little bit of history. Although in it's own right not especially good.
