Friends: Complete Season 3 - New Edition [DVD]

bril

With the show firmly in it's stride, Season 3 provides some of 'Friends' very best moments, in a season which is consistently funny, engaging and often genuinely heartwarming. From Ross' Princess Leia fantasy to Monica's accidental purchase of a racecar bed, Season 3 is never short on laughs, and would be worth a purchase for some of the brilliant quips and hilariously awkward situations alone. But this is also one of 'Friends' best seasons as regards more serious moments, and character development, with issues like Monica trying to get over her break up with Richard, Ross' and Rachel''s moving and tumultuous relationship, and some new situations for pretty much everyone else. There's nothing really to moan about here, at all. The episodes are pretty much all superb, the DVD quality is fine, and though the extras aren't particularly great, there are still a few decent interactive features. For those new to the show, you'll enjoy this, though I would suggest beginning with Season 1; and for those returning to a show they know and love, don't worry, Season 3 of 'Friends' is every bit as good as you've remembered.

I was tidying the attic to make more room for old VHS cassettes and came across a Friends one.I remembered that I used to like the series so re-watched it and was suitably entertained,again.I had odd ones with no real order so decided to get the ones I was missing...,if they were low priced.I had difficulty in watching the VHS cassettes because the picture and sound drifted all over the place.I chose DVDs to overcome this and certainly did enjoy this old,but good,sitcom comedy show.It's of it's time obviously but still made me laugh out loud so my enjoyment was high.It made me check out You Tube for interviews of the cast and what they're doing today.I might also get some of the older 'Soap' sitcom DVDs too and maybe 'the Golden Girls' too.I'm not that bothered about the 'Cheers' series though.I became interested in who produced these shows too because they follow a similar pattern.Anyway,after about 10 years between viewing,Friends still has the power to entertain and provoke laughter.

This is definitely up there with the best series' of friends (along with series 4 and 6), it's a time when the stories are still fresh but the awkwardness between the characters (particularly evident in the first half of season 1) has completely disappeared. It also contains the post popular Friends episode according to the British public; 'The one with the football'. Other classic episodes of the series include, 'The one where no one's ready', 'The one without the ski trip' and 'The one at the beach'. There's no 'filler' episodes that began to appear in the 7th series and the laughs are consistent throughout. One major downside is the lack of extras. It seems that Warner have completely neglected to add any extras to the DVDs and the extras described by one reviewer are only available on the Region 1 versions. Each episode is the standard length and not the longer versions that also appear on the Region 1 DVDs. Still worth buying, but if you are a huge Friends fan i would suggest getting it imported on Region 1.

The DVD worked perfectly, I am very happy with it.

Great series which seems to have a come back. This is the 4:3 view which is how we watched it over 20 years ago. This copy had narrow white and blue lines down the side of the screen view, annoying to see.

excellent film

Sold at a great price and delivered promptly. Very happy!
