About this product

Product Information

Popular American sitcom FRIENDS first appeared on our screens back in 1994 to little fanfare. The show followed the lives of six twentysomething singles--Monica (Courtney Cox), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Ross (David Schwimmer), and Chandler (Matthew Perry)--who occupied a trendy New York loft apartment. These were essentially six beautiful people who had probably never known a hard day's work in their lives, and whose every utterance was a well-crafted witticism. But despite their idealised lifestyles and perfectly coiffed hairdos, there was something annoyingly endearing about them. Viewers could easily relate to their struggles with work, sex, and relationships because these were universal struggles - albeit heightened for comedic effect. From early on it was clear that FRIENDS had successfully tapped into the zeitgeist of its time, and now, 10 series down the line, the show's broad appeal continues to live on in popular culture. This box set contains every episode from series 1 through 10.

  • NEVER GETS OLD!

    I first saw Friends as the episodes were released and have seen it on countless occasions since. It still makes me chuckle and now that I have the boxed set, I can watch as many episodes as I like which is great to be able to do on a miserable winter's day. Obviously, there are a few scenes which do date it a little but I think it is a great set to have.

  • The leading mainstream US comedy of the 1990s retains its popularity due to its continuing relevance to single people in their 20s.

    Extremely good value, if you can live with a slightly subpar picture. Comedy about the lives of 6 single 20-something friends in 1990s New York. Right from the start, the ensemble chemistry is very good. Rachel & Joey are the eye candy. Monica & Chandler have good verbal comic timing, while Ross & Phoebe are the more physical, oddball comics. The writing is a little weak for the first 12 episodes, but each of the cast is prepared to undergo major humilitation in order to keep the laughs going. There's also more sexual inuendo than the mainstream norm for the 2010s. Midway through Season 1, the studio seems to have recognised a hit. Thereafter, the writing is better, and Monica's hair is fixed so that she looks under 30. The iconic Rachel hair comes a little later. Friends picks up on two linked social phenomena, new in the 1990s, which have persisted to the present day. Firstly, later marriage, especially in big cities, and consequently stronger singleton friendship groups for people in their 20s. Secondly, the decline in fortunes of the US middle class since the 1970s is reflected in the low quality jobs of the Friends, especially when compared to those of their parents. Many of the audience will identify with these aspects of the show, which add extra depth to the laughs.

  • Great show

    When I first ordered the dvd's I was a bit worried, slightly damaged box loose discs, but upon receipt there was minimal damage to the box, i wouldn't have noticed. I opened all ten seasons boxes in all 3 discs were loose. Friends is great - whats not to like, all the characters are a great fit and just how you would imagine that generation to be and living in New York.Some of the scrapes they get in are just brilliant.

  • Fabulous Friends

    Have wanted this box set for quite a few years as I miss seeing it on TV. The DVDs are exactly what I expected - each episode is so funny and entertaining as it was when it was airing on the television. Even if you've not seen Friends before, I would highly recommend as they are timeless and the writers are so clever with the wit and storylines. Give yourself and your friends a great laugh.

  • Excellent series.

    So far, one disc freezes (season 4 episode 19) where the girls get their apartment back. Not good for wide screen, but does have subtitles. Good value for entertainment gives hours of easy watchable fun.

  • Great buy of an old classic

    Purchased for my Grandson who’s a huge Friends fan. He was absolutely delighted with the boxed set which arrived in good time for his Birthday. Hours of side splitting comedy with familiar characters .. well, that’s one happy ‘lockdown’ lad!

  • I hope it continues as good as it has begun.

    I've based my review on the little I have seen of the DVDs, but so far so good. The box was badly damaged, in pieces, but I assume it occurred in transit, and for the price I am pleased with my purchase.

    What's not to like about "Friends" ... the fact it's still on TV today, says it all! Just had to buy the box set just in case it disappears into the ether for ever!

  • Christmas present for my Daughter

    I bought this for my Daughter for Christmas and even though she can stream all the episodes, she loved having the actual DVDs to watch in her room.
