A sitcom behemoth of the last 10 years, Friends shot out of the gate in 1994 with snappy writing and an attractive cast. The exploits of sensitive paleontologist Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), his obsessive-compulsive sister Monica Geller (Courteney Cox); Monica's roommate Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), a spoiled rich girl trying to live on her own; earthy aromatherapist/masseuse Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow); and Monica's neighbors across the hall-- sarcastic Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and his dim-bulb roommate Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) became a nationwide obsession, a pop-culture icon (remember "The Rachel" haircut?) and a top Nielsen hit for its entire run. See the 10 or more seasons club . The first two seasons were mostly centered on the on-off saga of Ross and Rachel, and while their relationship remained a strong presence through romantic rivals and even a baby, View clips and vote for your favorite Friends moment. the other characters eventually moved from sideshow players into a shared comedic lead. But Friends was not without its heart. Most of the cast had dysfunctional relationships with their parents and went through loss, divorce, marriage, parenthood, and love triangles. The emotional pregnancies of Rachel (by Ross) and Phoebe (surrogate to her half-brother's triplets) won the actresses Emmy Awards, and Joey's tender feelings for Rachel in Season 8 won LeBlanc, the most improved actor in the series, a nomination. Most sitcoms run out of ideas by the fifth season, but Friends gave itself a refreshing jolt the minute Monica and Chandler wound up in bed together. Their budding romance was not only the one of the funniest arcs of the series, but one of the most sentimental, as they planned a wedding, struggled to have a child and eventually turned to adoption. By seasons seven and on, the characters had each "grown up" from young singletons to thirtysomethings finding permanence in their careers and love lives but never losing the laughs. Just friends? See our guide to who kissed whom on Friends. Friends featured a parade of celebrity guests, but unlike Will & Grace, it actually utilized most of the stars as more than cameos: The sextet's parents were all brilliantly cast, particularly Kathleen Turner as Chandler's drag-queen father and Teri Garr as Phoebe's dizzy mom. Everyone from George Clooney to Sean Penn to Julia Roberts to Bruce Willis has appeared on the sitcom, and Tom Selleck certainly enjoyed a career resuscitation after his recurring role as Monica's older man. But no star power ever penetrated the bond between the six stars, and their unmatchable chemistry worked for 10 seasons. Even if the show is on reruns daily, this boxed set of Friends remains watchable over and over again--even if that theme song grates on your nerves. Standout episodes include The One With All The Poker (Season 1), The One With The Birth (1), The One With the Prom Video (2), The One With the Flashback (3), The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends (3), The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break (3), The One With the Embryos (4), The One With All the Wedding Dresses (4), The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (5), The One Where Everybody Finds Out (5), The One Where Ross Got High (6), The One With the Videotape (8), The One With the Rumor (8), The One With the Male Nanny (9), The One With Rachel's Other Sister (9), The One With Ross' Tan (10), and The One Where the Stripper Cries (10). --Ellen A.

1) Box only? [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If anyone selling the entire One with All Ten Seasons box set is willing to sell the black box separately, could you please let me know? I'm a huge fan of the show who already owns all ten seasons and would love to have the wooden box to complete my collection. I've been looking for the box for years and cannot seem to find it for sale alone on here or on EBay.Thank you.2) These friends are who we are or were. [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Each Friends episode is funny no matter how many times I watch it. I love these characters. There is something in every episode that reminds me of something familiar and I guess that what makes it so much fun. This is a great addition to my collection and will remain one of my favorites. I purchased the 10-season collection and do not regret this purchase.3) FOR THE TRUE "FRIENDS" AFFICIANADO! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you loved "Friends", you'll want this limited edition boxed set! It has every episode, including bloopers, outtakes and extended footage. All in a beautifully etched wooden case with the cast laminated on a hinged plexiglass front cover. Worth every penny!4) the one with the memories [Rating: 5 out of 5]
You'll love the characters because they're just typical people who do embarrassing things and go through life having successes and failures. If you want something that will make you laugh and sometimes cry after a hard day's work, then you'll love it. You won't find anything like it...ever. I swear by that statement.5) The best [Rating: 5 out of 5]
A very good series. Ten beautiful years of great comedy and drama. It is a definite classic.
