One of the most successful television series of its time, Friends won numerous awards as a perennial favorite of fans and critics alike. Set in New York City, the show features the lives of six twenty-something friends who share apartments with each other, Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). The six spend the majority of their free time gathered in a coffee house called “Central Perk” where Rachel works, Monica’s grandmother’s apartment (which she and Rachel rent), and in Joey and Chandler’s apartment (which is across the hall from Monica and Rachel). One of the funniest shows of its era, Friends joined with fellow NBC Seinfeld to create one of the most successful one-two punches in network history...

The Friends (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere which begins with Rachel anxiously waiting for Ross at the airport so she can tell him about her feelings. But when Ross exits the plane with his new girlfriend Julie (Lauren Tom) on his arm, Rachel struggles with what she should do. The first several episodes of the season are dominated by this storyline until (in episode #31) a drunken Rachel phones Ross and leaves a message on his answering machine revealing the truth. Forced to decide between Julie and Rachel, Ross constructs a list of pros and cons (episode #32) that Rachel inevitably finds. The incident threatens to destroy their relationship before they finally come together. Meanwhile, Joey lands a part on Days Of Our Lives as Dr. Drake Ramoray, but seals his own fate when his hubris steps on the toes of the show’s writers…
