A must-buy for Friends fans!, 2005-11-29
My Top Ten Favorite Episodes -
This season is so good that it is hard to pick a top 10 list because of so many good episodes. Some episodes that didn't make the list would be high on some of the top ten of the last seasons of Friends. Probably the best season overall because of Ross & Rachel being together (later seasons screwed up by having them apart and dating others but occasionally getting back together and eventually having a daughter together still not as satisfying as season two's take on their romance). Disk 3 is almost perfect as far as great episodes go. Not one episode on that disk is a let-down.
# 1 - The One Where Ross and Rachel....You Know - This episode gaves fans what we wanted all along, Ross & Rachel on their first date. On top of that Monica & Richard (Tom Selleck) hook up as well and Chandler & Joey get the new chairs and a big screen tv. One of the best episodes of the series let alone this season.
# 2 - The One Where Eddie Won't Go - Hilarious episode. Eddie is very funny as the insane roommate of Chandler. Having Chandler & Joey reunited was a nice touch. The girls having empowerment leads to comedy when Rachel tells Ross something funny. Eddie is the show-stealer here and was missed after this episode. The episode also showed how Joey & Chandler living together led to great comedy.
# 3 - The One Where Ross Finds Out - Funny episode when Rachel is out on a date she drives him nuts because she is stuck on Ross. Rachel gets drunk and calls Ross leaving a message about how she is over him. A hungover Rachel the next day can't remember she left the message until Ross calls home to check his messages. Show has the best ending of the series when Ross & Rachel finally kiss for the first time.
# 4 - The One With The Prom Video - The first flashback episode to when Monica was fat, Rachel had a bad nose & Ross had his curly hair & mustache. Showed all the characters that Ross truly loved Rachel even back in her highschool and his college years. Phoebe's lobster story was funny and sweet.
# 5 - The One with the List - Ross gets himself into trouble just when it seems like he and Rachel are about to hook up. He can't seem to decide between her and Julie when Chandler and Joey suggest making a list of her good & bad traits. A great episode for Ross & Rachel being sooooo close to being together but he messes things up.
# 6 - The One Where Joey Moves Out - Funny episode for Joey licking a spoon putting it back without washing it and his story about soap. Emotional when Joey moves out making you think just when you think the show is stable and reliable anything can happen.
# 7 - The One Where Dr Ramoray Dies - Joey's character is killed off when he makes a remark about making up his own lines. Eddie seems stranger as Chandler's roommate. Joey & Chandler miss each other but can't bring themselves to admit it to each other.
# 8 - The One With Two Parties - The cast was top-notch here as they had to go between the men's & women's apartment to keep Rachel's parents away from one another. The men were at their best (especially Ross in dealing with Rachel's stiff dad). Joey kissing Rachel's mom to distract her from her ex-husband leaving was also un-expected and hilarious. Monica's freaky sense of order showed up majorly for one of the first times in the series.
# 9 - The One With The Chicken Pox - One of the best guest-star episodes of the series as Charlie Sheen plays Phoebe's sub-marine boyfriend who surfaces every once in awhile. Comedy ensues when Phoebe gets Chicken Pox for the first time and gives it to her boyfriend. Instead of romance the two try to scratch each other instead of making love. Monica feels she is too neurotic for Richard but he attempts to ease her mind by trying to convince her that she is normal.
# 10 - The One With Russ - One of David Schwimmer's best acting jobs as he plays a duel role as Russ & Ross. Rachel dates a guy who is exactly like Ross & everyone sees the similarity except Rachel, Russ & Ross. Even though you want Ross & Rachel to be together her being with Russ this episode shows she still wants to be with Ross.

This one's actually the first..., 2005-11-29
... in my top 3 seasons of often beloved,sometimes hated but undoubtely one of the most influential tv series in 90's, Friends. There is also no weak episode in the whole bunch and those two which I consider the weakest (TOW Phoebe's Husband and TOW Five Steaks, An Eggplant) are still above average. Also this is the season where all main characters had given some kind of story arc which helped a lot in fleshing them out. We got here official start of Ross' and Rachel's relationship on one hand and Joey's and Chandler's friendship on the another, also Monica found her dream guy (one of the most appropriate recurring guest star Tom Selleck) and finally Phoebe started to look for her father during the second year. Of course, aside of this there were many other plots, main or side, which kept whole run fresh and unpredictable. Also this is the season full of guest stars which I personally don't mind excluding van Damme's cameo which I find quite embarrassing. On the opposite side stands Brooke Shields and particularly Adam Goldberg whose performance was hilarious. But the real reason why I found this year the best is that all episodes are filled with great gags, one liners, funny situations which are going hand in hand with storylines therefore are not purposeless, there is even some space for tears but never in the way you would say you're watching soap opera with laughs (that was my problem with some episodes in later seasons). So we got here more lively characters, precise scripts, really a big amount of great laughs and above all fresh main cast having fun being a part of it. All six were really enjoying portraying their characters and you'll know it. For me this is the hardest season to choose favourite eps from but those should probably be TOW Breast Milk (great western films send offs),TOW List (emotional and funny in the same time),TOW Prom Video (obvious choice, one of the most famous eps of riends ever, home video sequence and the execution of the result is perfect), TO After the Superbowl part 1 (Brooke Shields outdid herself also Marcel the monkey returns) and to round it up to five I choose TOW Dr. Ramoray Dies (Adam Goldberg is funny as hell in this one, Tom Selleck vs. David Schwimmer are great as is Dr. Ramoray's departure). I can't really say which season is the second best and which the third but because of all above I'm pretty sure I like this one the most. Nothing's perfect but this one's really close. 100 percent recommended!
Those early years....., 2005-11-21
Season two is basically where the R&R story began. TOW Ross' New Girlfriend showed how Ross' once jealousy has now taken position inside Rachel, because when ever she sees Ross and Julie together she feels like what Ross felt when she was with Paolo. In TOW Ross Finds Out, our favorite couple finally realize how good they are together, which took a downtoll in TOW The List where Ross makes lists about all the bad things about Rachel and Julie, and Rachel accidentally reads it. For a few episodes there we thought we'd never see Ross and Rachel together, but BAM! There they are, as a happy couple! (If you want to savior these moments, don't move on to Season 3 any sooner!)
This season also shows us some of Chandler's side. TOW Heckles Dies is technically Chandler's episode where his problems and habits are revealed. He was SO stressed he called Janice! ("Janice? You called JANICE?!" Phoebe questions to Chandler when he's at the coffeehouse) Well, Janice turns up, but with a little surprise. Later, Chandler can't stop thinking about his date's huge head.
Joey and Chandler's friendship enters some problematics when Joey decides to move into an apartment where he can live by himself, leaving Chandler on his own and missing a friend, which makes him get another roommate who turns out to be a fruit-drying-psycopath! But, all things turn out well, Chandler tricks Eddie (his replacement roommate) into thinking he doesn't live in the apartment anymore, and Joey moves back in.
Ross' discomforts toward Carol and Susan's relationship takes a absolutely unexpected turn as the two women decide to get married. Ross says he won't go, but when Carol's parents aren't willing to be a part of the wedding, Ross agrees to coming there and give Carol away.
Monica finds love in a old family friend who is 50, leaving Ross to deal with a lot. While on their dad's birthday party, Monica decides to tell her parents. Ross, terrified as he is, makes sure when the moment hits, neither of his parents have anything to throw at Richard or Monica or possibly anything they could be hit with.
The situations all wrap up and this season ends in TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding. Rachel goes there wearing something that looks like something 'you drink where you're nauseous' and ends up giving some stupid impression. But something Barry says while she's attempting to leave while not insulting her but giving her the power to be strong and sing Copacabanna infront of the guests which was celebrated and sang along with a lot. Then finally the episode ends with Chandler waiting for his internet-mystery girlfriend who turns out to be....you watch for yourself!
This season is very good and I'd recommend you buy this dvd.
One of the best seasons, 2005-11-09
Friends was a great shows, but of all the seasons this one is among the very best. Funny episodes, funny actors, even better than the first.
