 awesome, 2007-01-04
awesome very cool The Complete Second Season, i guess all the dvd are great
How could Friends earn any less?, 2006-11-15
After watching the first season of "Friends" 'til I had virtually every line of every episode memorized, I decided it was time to purchase the complete second season, and I'm sure that once I've memorized that season, I'll move on to the third. "Friends" never fails to make me laugh hysterically!
the one with all the great shows, 2006-07-14
this is the second and one of the best seasons of friends!! after a great first season this hit roared back for a second season that was even better. everything you loved about the first season is back and even better than before!
when we last left our new friends,chandler let slip that ross loved rachel at rachel's birthday party. rachel is shocked,but finds the idea of ross as a lover intresting so she goes to the airport(ross had to go to china,the country,for his work) to meet him only to find that ross is with a woman,julie(lauren tom in a great if sad turn as the woman who comes between r & r) and now it's rachel who must pine for ross as he dates julie. this is a nice switch on last years ross crush and really gives the show a lift. rachel's hate of julie is grounded in the same hate as was ross's hate for the italian man rachel dated in year one. chandler is still looking for the right girl,joey gets a t.v. soap job for a while and moves out,monica meets the man of her dreams,who also happens to be her fathers friend(tom selleck,who is a great actor and really builds a stong charter in his few shows,so much so that at several points in the series he would return),and phoebe discovers her mother (who killed herself) and grandmother lied about her father(the guy in the picture frames is said to be her father) and begins to look for him.
the ross&rachel engine drives the season,but all get a chance to shine with the great show "the one with phoebe's husband" where we find out that phoebe married a "gay" ice dancer that see loved to help him get a green card. he returns to get a divorce so he can marry another girl(phoebe,don't hate me but i'm stright),chandler has a third nipple,monica had sex on the balcony with fun bobby,and joey did a porn video(he was young needed the job but couldn't do it so he just watched them have sex)! we also see rachel try everything under the sun to keep ross from sleeping wiyh julie(really a very fun night at ross's) and a moment of very hot talk as rachel helps ross get over his fear of not being good at sex!
we also get "the one where ross finds out" where a drunken rachel blows a blind date worring about ross and leaves a message on his machine telling him she's over him,prompting the greatest reviel in history as rachel tries to stop ross from listing to the message(ross,"your over me,your over me,when were you....under me?")and their first kiss(voted one of the best kisses in t.v. history)only to break them apart in the next one "the one with the list"
now we come to the best show in the bunch and maybe ever, "the one with the prom video" in which ross is told by rachel that they will never get together,only to have a video tape of her and monica's prom night show the true feelings of ross for rachel( the video is the first time we see rachel's nose before surgery and monica as a fat teen)and the final scene of ross in his dad's tux standing on the stairs is heartbreaking(rachel's date had not showen up and after mom and dad talked to him ross was going to take her so see could go)! the show really hit it's best here as the whole cast reacts to this bomb. and the pay off of ross and rachel's kiss and the begining of their romance are just the begining of this great seasons treasures. GET THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Almost to the great Friends era, 2006-07-07
Season two of Friends picks up some from season one, although in my opinion it is just before the real glory days of the series. During season two, several important events take place, including the beginning of Ross and Rachel's relationship, which will be such a cornerstone of the show's entire run, several episodes centering around Ross' newborn son Ben, and Chandler's crazy new roommate, Eddie. Particularly good episodes in this season are: "The One Where Ross Finds Out," "The One With the List," and "The One Where Eddie Won't Go." Memorable guest appearances are made by: Catherine Bell, Dan Castellaneta, June Gable, Adam Goldberg, Elliott Gould, Chrissie Hynde, Chris Isaak, Phil Leeds, Ron Leibman, Emily Procter, Giovanni Ribisi, Julia Roberts, Tom Selleck, Charlie Sheen, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mitchell Whitfield, and Fred Willard.
Quotes from this season:
- Ross : Do you think he'll be surprised to see me?
Chandler : Yes, at first. Then he'll realize he's a monkey, and isn't capable of that emotion."
- Chandler : "If I end up like my parents, I'll either be an alcoholic blonde chasing after 20 year old boys, or I'll end up like my mom."

Ross and Rachel rule Season 2, 2006-06-13
Welcome to the sophomore season of Friends. This is where the show and its stars truly exploded onto the national consciousness. With the advent of season the second, the cast and crew had finally hit their full stride. Standouts were David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston as Ross and Rachel and Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe. The Ross and Rachel romance was the strong impetus of the season and had the fans very much invested in the goings-on of the star-crossed duo. But there was still ample room for the other four characters to shine. Kudrow was exceptional in episodes such as The One Where Heckles Dies and The One Where Old Yeller Dies. The best-friend relationship of Joey and Chandler is delved into in The One With the Prom Video and later in a three- episode arc (with a memorable guest star performance by Adam Goldberg). This season also introduced Monica's second greatest love and very good acting foil, Dr. Richard Burke (as superbly, intelligently played by Tom Selleck). Brooke Shields owes her resulting sitcom to her guest star turn in The One After the Super Bowl. But Jean-Claude Van Damme, Julia Roberts and Chris Isaak left fans with a tepid feeling. It goes to show that Friends is best when it's just about the six characters.
Highlight episodes are:
The One with Ross's New Girlfriend - the season 2 opener finds Ross and Julie an item, much to the chagrin of Rachel; Chandler goes to Joey's old tailor and is taken advantage of; Phoebe cuts Monica's hair ala Dudley Moore.
The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant - the six are divided over money issues; Chandler picks up a wrong number on his phone and hooks up with a hot girl (the denouement to that storyline is gutbustingly funny).
The One Where Ross Finds Out - a drunken Rachel leaves a message on Ross's phone; Monica is Chandler's new trainer, a fact he soon regrets; Phoebe's date won't put out (but he is Joey's god).
The One With the Prom Video - an old video tape reveals a college-going Ross and high-schoolers Monica and Rachel (the debut of fat Monica and one of my favorite Chandler jokes "so how many cameras were actually on you?"); Phoebe states her lobster theory; Joey buys Chandler a friendship bracelet which Chandler doesn't want to wear; Monica is in need of a loan (check out the restaurant manager interviewing Monica right after the opening credits); this is truly a great episode.
The One Where Ross and Rachel...You Know - well, it's pretty self-explanatory; also, this is where Monica meets Richard (wherein Richard expounds on the intricacies of the head tilt and the head bob).
The One Where Old Yeller Dies - her mom had lied to naive Phoebe about the endings of sad films; Chandler and Joey bond with Richard; Ross freaks out Rachel with his long-term family plans.
The included special features here improve upon the first season's. This time, there are 2 episodes with producers commentary (The One With the List and The One With the Prom Video). The box set also contains an interactive map to Monica and Rachel's pad, a friends of Friends video guestbook, a trivia quiz and a dvd-exclusive, uncut version of the Smelly Cat music video. Not bad.
There's a reason this show was so well-loved and so much lauded by fans and critics alike. Come sit in for a fun chemistry lesson, as taught by Professors Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc, Perry and Schwimmer.
Some fun trivia facts about Friends:
The first person approached by the casting crew for Friends was David Schwimmer, the second was Lisa Kudrow.
When Matthew Perry auditioned for Friends, he had just shot a pilot for a sitcom about baggage handlers in the year 2020, which fortuitously fell thru.
The first cast member to star in a Hollywood movie is Marcel the Monkey.
The original concept of the show was to star Joey, Monica, Ross and Rachel. Chandler and Phoebe were only supposed to be supporting roles.
The record label wouldn't release the Rembrandts' album unless the band recorded a full-length version of "I'll Be There For You." The Rembrandts were reluctant to release the Friends' title tune because the band members felt the song didn't mesh with what they were doing musically.
The pilot is the only episode that shows in its entirety the opening credits sequence of the cast frolicking in the fountain. For the rest of the episodes, NBC insisted that scenes from various episodes be pulled into the opening credits, fearing that some viewers might not relate with hip, young folks splish-splashing in a fountain.
