This handsome box set includes all the episodes from Series One--from our favourite coffee-drinking sextet's initial meeting in the pilot right up to the series cliff-hanger "The One Where Rachel Finds Out"--that Ross is in love with her, that is. Other highlights include: "The One With the Butt", in which Joey gets a big break as Al Pacino's stunt bottom; "The One With the Monkey" in which Ross acquires Marcel, his pet monkey; and the two-parter (imaginatively called "The One with the Two Parts") in which Joey starts dating Ursula, Phoebe's twin sister and Monica and Rachel double-date cute doctors played by George Clooney and Noah Wyle from ER. --Leslie Felperin

Friends is an incredible tv show(according to my daughter!) which shows all the things that can happen to friendships starting in high school... so good my daughter never misses an episode, sad now they've stopped making them ! 10/10

I wish to disagree with the other viewer's review on the DVD as having "quality picture and sound." I have watched this on an award winning DVD player and Sony Bravia TV and the image quality is awful! It looks as if it has been recorded from a 10 year old video. The resolution is poor, the colour is out and the sound is inconsistant. It's sad because it detracts from a classic comedy programme.

This was our first introduction to the 6 New Yorkers, and what a brilliant introduction it was. The characters seem to change considerably over the 10 series, but the early episodes are still as funny now as they were then. A brilliant series with some memorable episodes. If you're a fan of Friends and haven't purchased this yet then order it today, you'll find yourself watching them again and again - now that's what I call value for money!

i bought this as i was a huge fan of friends & still am, so i thought why not start from the beginning.
this is a good start to the long running series about the ups & downs of 6 friends.

standout episodes are:
the one with fake monica
the one with the ick factor
the one with the birth
& the one where rachel finds out

overall this dvd is good but i hav seen better series than this, try series 4 and 5
