Friends: The Complete Series Collection (25th Anniversary/Repackaged/DVD)

Love this show. So light-hearted and funny. It can always give me a laugh when I'm in a bad mood. Good story line and you can easily relate to the characters. Glad everything comes in the same case and is well organized. Happy Anniversary!

I'm 40 and had never watched FRIENDS until a year ago on HBO MAX. I mean I had seen a few episodes here and there as a teenager because my best friend's parents were obsessed with it and never missed an episode but that's it. I was one of those teenagers who was against anything super popular and mainstream (why? No idea. I think that was just a 90s "cool" thing?). My husband was the same way and had actually never seen a single episode. WELL, boy were we missing out! We both were absolutely hooked pretty much from the very first episode to the very last. When I decided to watch the series for a second time I didn't want to deal with commercials so I went ahead and splurged on this box set. I'm so glad I did. I'm currently on my 4th rewatch and it's now my all time favorite sitcom. Every character is so funny and so lovable, this show makes me laugh even when I'm in the worst of moods. It's also the only sitcom I have ever seen that is perfect from the very first season. I find most sitcoms to be pretty cringe worthy during at least the first half of the first season but not with FRIENDS. If you thought you were too cool to watch it (like I did when it was originally on the air) then think again and give it a shot. You'll probably love it (I mean the fashion and nostalgia of the 90s and early 2000s alone makes me really happy) I'm so happy I gave it a chance! About time.

Dang, 190$ bones was a lot to drop on a set of a TV show that isn't even my favorite, but i love Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc. I didn't own the show yet so i decided to go whole hog on it and i am glad i did. This is not a review of the show but the quality of the 4K release, specifically. To start off, the actual packaging is delightfully slimmed down so two seasons are in each separate case and it is so much better this way to reduce clutter. There is a separate standard blu ray case with two full discs of additional bonus features, and an included booklet with an episode listing for all the discs and chapters for the bonus discs. Now for the real wow part to me-the video quality of the show itself. It does not use DolbyVision, however, they are in HDR and i must say, for a relatively older show, WB clearly gave love to one of their most popular series. The colors and sharpness even in the early seasons are instantly noticeable and gorgeous! Fantastic job, i must say, as a techy kind of guy who has a large physical media collection, this is one of the best looking TV shows out there, even going against something newer like Better Call Saul. The other wonderful part of this set, is that unlike a lot of 4K discs, you can stop this, turn off the player, and come back to it later. It instantly pops up with a "Resume where you left off" button! Yay! No trying to fast forward to where i was before. Great stuff. Ultimately, if you are a Friends fan, this is the best possible set for you but that price is kind of ridiculous, even though it is well made. Also, if you already own the DVDs or Blu Ray releases, this becomes less palatable. It really is a beautiful release though.

as described

We love the Friends series and got tired of chasing the current streaming service that had it. This was the most affordable option and every disc worked great to watch the entire franchise.

Another Update, I Pulled out my old DVD player and it plays full screen, it’s old from 2011. So it’s all about the settings on your DVD player, not the actual DVD’s themselves! Update: it’s not as bad as I thought, although if you have a huge flat screen bigger than 32” you might want to stay away it won’t fit your screen, but the series is real copy, I just which there was some way to fit it to the screen, and the resolution is not bad! Terrible resolution! I was so excited to get this since Netflix no longer carries friends :’( I opened it and everything was sealed nicely all tight no cracked cases or DVDs so I was so excited thinking that the bad reviews were wrong like always Which in that aspect they were!..... So I go to pop in the dvd still all is good, The main screen popped up with the title and it was formatted to the screen until I hit the play button on one or the episodes :( the quality is so bad, it is not fitting to the screen there are black blocks on both sides, I’m guessing if you have a small TV like back in the day When it actually originally aired with the box televisions you might be okay, but I have a 32” flat screen and well I just want to cry! The picture quality is crap! WHY NETFLIX WHY??? Or better yet WARNER BROTHERS????? I’m so mad and sad at the same time! If it fit to the damn screen I could at least get use to the picture quality not being up to par! But I can’t with the Black blocks on the side not fitting to my screen! These are crap, all DVDs Movies that I own fit the format of my TV so I don’t know if it’s the way they are or if it’s bootlegged, but in no way am I happy!!!!!! If you can’t deal with it not fitting to the screen then don’t buy it, if you can deal with it well then buy it! Its definitely not the quality of the version Netflix had! I want that version! :( :( :’(

Favorite series ever.

Bought this to give an birthday gift to my wife, wasn't happy with the purchase as few CD's didn't work.

Excelente! Aunque la calidad de imagen no es tan buena, si es la version original con todos los subtitulos y audios para escoger. Me llego bien empaquetada aunque por alguna razon los discos estaban un poco humedos como sudados como si ya tuvieran tiempo guardados en alguna bodega. Pero limpiandolos se quitan facilmente.

フレンズ大好きなのでいつでも見れるようにブルーレイ買いました。 ただ、日本語字幕が出ないんですが仕様でしょうか？他の方のレビューで日本語字幕があると見ましたが、英語や中国語などの字幕はありますが日本語が出てきません。機器の設定でしょうか？英語字幕で見てますが、できれば日本語字幕で見たいです。

Excelente! O box inclui um disco só de extras, além de vários episódios comentados. E o melhor: possui legendas em português :)

Questa versione, boxset sfondo blu in DVD, è la versione giusta. Quella con tutti gli episodi originali estasi e extra material come bloopersb es interviste!
