A sitcom behemoth of the last 10 years, iFriends/i shot out of the gate in 1994 with snappy writing and an attractive cast. The exploits of sensitive paleontologist Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), his obsessive-compulsive sister Monica Geller (Courteney Cox); Monica's roommate Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), a spoiled rich girl trying to live on her own; earthy aromatherapist/masseuse Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow); and Monica's neighbors across the hall-- sarcastic Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and his dim-bulb roommate Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) became a nationwide obsession, a pop-culture icon (remember "The Rachel" haircut?) and a top Nielsen hit for its entire run. p table align=left cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" trtd align="center" img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000AM4PBS.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg" border=0 align=top brSee the span class="tiny"10 or more seasons club /span. /td/tr /table The first two seasons were mostly centered on the on-off saga of Ross and Rachel, and while their relationship remained a strong presence through romantic rivals and even a baby, table border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=3 width=200 align="right" tr tdhr noshade size=1 b class="h1" View clips and vote for your favorite iFriends/i moment. /b hr noshade size=1/td /tr /tablethe other characters eventually moved from sideshow players into a shared comedic lead. But iFriends/i was not without its heart. Most of the cast had dysfunctional relationships with their parents and went through loss, divorce, marriage, parenthood, and love triangles. The emotional pregnancies of Rachel (by Ross) and Phoebe (surrogate to her half-brother's triplets) won the actresses Emmy Awards, and Joey's tender feelings for Rachel in Season 8 won LeBlanc, the most improved actor in the series, a nomination. p Most sitcoms run out of ideas by the fifth season, but iFriends/i gave itself a refreshing jolt the minute Monica and Chandler wound up in bed together. Their budding romance was not only the one of the funniest arcs of the series, but one of the most sentimental, as they planned a wedding, struggled to have a child and eventually turned to adoption. By seasons seven and on, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs. p table border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=3 width=200 align="left" tr tdhr noshade size=1 b class="h1" Just friends? See our guide to who kissed whom on iFriends/i. /b hr noshade size=1/td /tr /tableiFriends/i featured a parade of celebrity guests, but unlike iWill Grace/i, it actually utilized most of the stars as more than cameos: The sextet's parents were all brilliantly cast, particularly Kathleen Turner as Chandler's drag-queen father and Teri Garr as Phoebe's dizzy mom. Everyone from George Clooney to Sean Penn to Julia Roberts to Bruce Willis has appeared on the sitcom, and Tom Selleck certainly enjoyed a career resuscitation after his recurring role as Monica's older man. p But no star power ever penetrated the bond between the six stars, and their unmatchable chemistry worked for 10 seasons. Even if the show is on reruns daily, this boxed set of iFriends/i remains watchable over and over again--even if that theme song grates on your nerves. p Standout episodes include The One With All The Poker (Season 1), The One With The Birth (1), The One With the Prom Video (2), The One With the Flashback (3), The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends (3), The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break (3), The One With the Embryos (4), The One With All the Wedding Dresses (4), The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (5), The One Where Everybody Finds Out (5), The One Where Ross Got High (6), The One With the Videotape (8), The One With the Rumor (8), The One With the Male Nanny (9), The One With Rachel's Other Sister (9), The One With Ross' Tan (10), and The One Where the Stripper Cries (10). i--Ellen A.

 FRIENDS RULE!! January 9, 2009
All I can is that this show is one of my favorites. I was so hooked on the show when it was on air and even though I missed a few episodes I couldn't wait to get my hands on this complete series. I wanted to relive the entire show all over so I was very pleased with the great deal I got here on Amazon. This show is so worth it. All the discs are secure in there little individual box set case. The cool thing about this show is that no matter how many times you see the episodes they are still funny. I truly recommend this show to everyone its hilarious.

Awesome Buy January 6, 2009
I gave this to my sister as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loved it. We've been watching the series ever since it came on the air, so it was definitely worth the money. I recommend this to anyone who is a Friends enthusiast.
