Between Friends' fifth and sixth seasons, Courteney Cox and David Arquette were married, leading to "The One After Vegas" adding "Arquette" after everyone's title credits. Unfortunately, on-screen it's divorce time again despite "The One When Ross Hugs Rachel," since he secretly tries avoiding an annulment of their accidental marriage. Far more out in the open is Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica's (Cox) relationship. Moving in together creates lots of fun as the others move back and forth into each other's apartments. It also leads to Joey (Matt LeBlanc) finally showing a tender side toward temporary roommate Janine (Elle Macpherson). By now his chat-up catchphrase "How you doin'?" had caught on, but he needed to fall for someone. He kept the fun alive all year, pretending to have a Porsche, starting work on the show Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E., and falling for Chandler's (Matthew Perry) card game Cups in the excellent "The One with the Last Night" (one of many directed by David Schwimmer). More fun came from Ross (Schwimmer) trying to teach everyone the mental discipline Unagi, popping ridiculous moves with Monica for their childhood dance routine and having a fluorescently dazzling smile in "The One with Ross's Teeth" (also featuring a near-silent cameo from Ralph Lauren). Far more talkative was Reese Witherspoon as Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) sister--another temptation for Ross. What they briefly had wasn't as complicated as later in "The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth's Dad," who turns out to be an Emmy-winning Bruce Willis (thanks to having become friends with Perry during The Whole Nine Yards). The fans' need for love interest and continuity had established the seasons' format now. Another two-part finale offers jeopardy--then resolution--from Tom Selleck's Richard in "The One with the Proposal" between Chandler and Monica. --Paul Tonks

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) very good   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
very good edition of world-known show. it icludes the scenes which were never shown on tv - and that's the best. also some extra features like producers commentaries, soundtrack and the episode behind the scenes.

2) A very funny season, kept fresh by new arrangements of characters   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
The producers/writers of Friends wisely allowed the characters to age as the series progessed. Not only did this introduce new story possibilities (as the Friends matured and wanted more permanent relationships, for example), but kept the characters aging with the core audience that was aging at the same time. In this season, the primary season-long arc is the relationship between Chandler and Monica, culminating with Chandler's proposal in the season finale. Naturally, a Chandler-Monica pairing breaks up the Chandler-Joey and Monica-Rachel pairings that dominated the first 5 seasons, adding a fresh look to the apartments and the interactions between the characters.Obviously one storyline does not a season make: other major occurances in this season include Ross dating both Rachel's sister and a 19(?)-year-old former student, Rachel and Phoebe moving in together, and Joey starting on a new TV show and having a rare "long-term" relationship. Prominent guest stars include Reese Witherspoon and Elle Macpherson as Rachel's sister and Joey's love interest respectively. They both fit seamlessly into the show, and I especially liked Macpherson's caustic outsider (of Monica: "She's awfully loud for such a small person!") having to pretend to like Joey's friends. Not as successful is Bruce Willis's appearance as Ross's girlfriend's father (and briefly Rachel's boyfriend). Like Julia Roberts in Season 2, he brings a weirdly inappropriate intensity to the role (although it almost pays off in the final show of his arc, when he ends up weeping on Rachel's lap for hours). Finally, the incomparable Tom Selleck makes his final 2 appearances as Richard, playing the part of spoiler in the season finale when he tries to win Monica back just as Chandler has worked up the nerve to ask Monica to marry him.These middle seasons are the best seasons of Friends. The early seasons were dominated by too many gimmicks (Ross's monkey, Phoebe's pregnancy, etc.), and the later seasons seem to run out of steam. In Season 6, the writers and the performers are at the tops of their games, and this is one of the best seasons of Friends.

3) The best laugh   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Every time my wife is sad or unhappy she put this on and we both laugh it out

4) Come on! It's Friends.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I'm sorry. I'm a huge Friends fan, so there is a definite bias. I love each and every show.

5) The return of Friends   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is one of the better seasons actually besides the first three. After seasons 4 and 5 that were not that great, the series Freinds came back in great form. The comedy is actually much much better than before and the acting great. There are the usual great acmeos (Bruce Willis) and some really fantastic episodes.
