Lots happened behind the scenes between seasons and early on in the seventh year of the hit comedy, leaving audiences speculating that this might be the last. Perry became seriously ill again, and returned looking more emaciated than eve r. Cox regained weight, but despite finishing Scream 3 happily, things were already rocky with David Arquette. Much was made in the press about Aniston marrying Brad Pitt, of course, but the real news (allaying fans' fears) was NBC's expensive renewal of the cast for two years at $750,000 per episode each (more than six times their previous increase). On-screen, at least there was Chandler and Monica's engagement lasting the whole year, despite predictable ups and downs (eg: "T.O.W. The Truth About London" revealing that Monica fancied Joey). By the time we finally get to "T.O.W. Chandler's Dad" (Kathleen Turner), it seems inevitable that the two-part finale will be an insane mess--but with a happy-ish ending. Sure enough, "T.O.W. Chandler and Monica's Wedding" features Gary Oldman joining in the chaos as Chandler repeatedly goes missing. Other star-turns in the year were Seinfeld's Jason Alexander as a suicidal Office Manager, Susan Sarandon as soap queen bitch Jessica Lockhart, Denise Richards as one of Ross and Monica's endless number of cousins and Winona Ryder as a surprise old friend, prompting "T.O.W. Rachel's Big Kiss". But perhaps the most telling instalment of this weirdly atmospheric year was "T.O.W. They All Turn Thirty". It suggested that maybe the Friends are all getting too old to carry on living their frivolous lives the same way after all. Paul Tonks

I love Friends, and so would probably have bought series 7 anyway, but I have to say I feel slightly cheated by the 2 DVDs released so far. These disks only have 4 episodes on instead of the 8 that appear on earlier releases, but you are enticed to buy them anyway by the offer of extended 'director's cuts'. Don't be fooled. The extended episodes really do not have much extra in them, a few seconds here and there and that is all. I very much doubt that there is as much as a minute of extra footage over all 4 episodes.

Thank you for releasing the DVD at the same time as the VHS (it took about 6 months last time) but at what price - the other seasons are 8 episodes a disc - these are only 4 episodes per disc....slightly unfair!! Not only will it look odd on the bookshelf, but it is quite damaging on the wallet!

Frankly, after a hit and miss 6th Season, Friends is back on top from as one of the greatest comedies of modern times. 'The One With Monica's Thunder', is a great opener to the series, picking up where Season 6 left off, with the engagement of Chandler and Monica. It's a brilliant episode with plenty of laughs and a great story line. The other episodes featured on this DVD are: 'The One With Rachel's Book', 'The One With Phoebe's Cookies', and 'The One With Rachel's Assistant'. Each of these episodes is consitantly funny, and like virtually all episodes, the various subplots throughout the episode will keep you entertained. They are all great episodes, and if you're a Friends fan like me, you should add this disk to your collection.

it sucks!
All the other Friends series were good with the third one very good. The first volume of the seventh has few good moments and there is no plot line. Read more

Brilliant - but where are Episodes 9-12?
It's great to have them back again, not only b/c I'm writing my thesis about them, they are always a lot of fun to watch. Read more
