Friends: The Complete Series

Product Information

mission? To make depressed or unhappy clients smile again, whether it's a recently-cancelled TV star ("Mr. Frog"), a despondent gamer who pines Friends' isn't a masterpiece, but it managed to provide years of consistently excellent laughs, supplied by characters that were both distinctly unique but also highly relatable. Its cultural influence can still be felt, so some of the gags, jokes, and references will feel familiar even to first-timers. For fans, getting the whole series in one Blu-ray box set will be the perfect chance to revisit their favorite moments, and get to hang out in Central Perk again with some of their best friends, who are so welcome that they might as well be part of the family. The wait is over! Warner Bros. brings one of the best selling TV on DVD titles ever to Blu-ray, with 236 episodes from 10 seasons spread out across 20 discs, with an additional disc for new and exclusive extras. The discs are color coded per season, though the colors themselves don't match the old DVD color schemes, as the disc menus do. The discs themselves are marked 1-21, with the episodes contained (going from 1-236) marked on them. Originally advertised as a 21 BD50 set, the truth is this set is 19 BD50's, with a BD25 for both discs 20 and 21. This release contains the broadcast versions of the show, rather than the extended editions found on DVD, though some episodes are longer than others. All nine episodes are included on this slim but efficient Blu-ray release from Warner Bros., an especially nice surprise since most new shows aren't

Audio Commentaries – Commentaries for "The One with the Holiday Armadillo", "The One with Joey's New Brain", and "The One with Monica and Chandler's Wedding" parts one and two with Bright, Kaufman, and Crane. Costume designer Debra McGuire also comments on "The One with the Holiday Armadillo", and she's a welcome and smart addition, as that particular episode has some very memorable costumes. Friends' is among the best selling DVD titles ever. It was also one of the first TV shows to premiere on DVD. As such, the special features on a per-season basis are rather sparse. WB has included a new disc exclusive to this set with more features. However, other features are missing, including some of the audio commentaries and all of the extended episodes found on the DVD sets. Again, this could have been due to space considerations per disc, but at that point, slap a 22nd disc in there so we could at least have all of the existing extras on the set. For a show with such a large following, the selection of features here is disappointingly slim. It’s based on the novel, by Ben Macintyre, which we’re told has been altered for its screnen version with with some scenes/characters changed/added etc. – the usual that we’re used to.Gag Reel (SD, 10 min) – A gag reel seems like a no-brainer for a show like this, so it's a bit surprising that it took six seasons to get one. It's nice to see the cast fumble and be real with each other, and some of the flubs are quite funny.

However, after one episode, A Spy Among Friends doesn’t feel very accessible. The plotting is very complex, there’s dodgy Russians, secret meetings in Beirut, plus lots of mumbling dialogue, and on the preview I saw, there were no subtitles, so if I do watch any more, I’ll see it on ITVX when it goes live. That said, while I’m not a bookworm, I wasn’t wowed by the TV adaptation of the novelist’s SAS Rogue Heroes. of "young and eager" professionals enjoyed a prime learning experience. Gordon explores his move up the industry ladder, getting studio work on assessment of director Dan O'Bannon. There's talk of travel and editorial philosophy, and his move to direction for 1994's "Revenge of the Red Baron,"

Friends: Other Seasons

Smiling Friends focuses on the eponymous company, a small unit of four employees -- optimistic Pim Pimling and foul-mouthed Charlie Friends ran on NBC for 10 seasons, from 1994 to 2004, and centered on six friends in their twenties and thirties who lived in New York City. The six main cast members recently reunited for only the second time in the past 17 years to film a reunion special for HBO Max. Joey Joey" Music Video (SD, 3 min) – Even weirder than the last music video, this one is cut together by what appears to have been an eight grader using iMovie. Things get a bit more confusing at this point. The supersized episodes broadcast during season 7 are not presented on this set in High Definition and are instead included in Standard Definition within the bonus features.
