Product Description
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 05/22/2007 Run time: 600 minutes Rating: Nr
Stunt casting stumbles (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Charlie Sheen) aside, it was a very good year for this beloved series, ranked by TV Guide as among the top 25 of all time. With the bar set so high from the first season, a sophomore slump could be expected, but, apart from a game Julia Roberts, only the hour-long episode raised the question whether success would spoil Friends. (This episode, "The One After the Super Bowl," convinced some misguided NBC executive that guest star Brooke Shields could carry her own series!) Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (an Emmy-worthy Jennifer Aniston) were the engine that drove the season and produced some of the series' most monumental episodes, including "The One with Ross' New Girlfriend," "The One Where Ross Finds Out" (with R & R's first kiss), "The One with the List," "The One with the Prom Video," and "The One Where Ross and Rachel... You Know." But this was not the only significant story arc. Enter--and, in the bittersweet season finale, exit--Tom Selleck as Dr. Richard Burke, the family friend ("He's like a brother to... Dad," notes a disapproving Ross) who becomes Monica's (Courtney Cox) lover. Joey (Matt LeBlanc) finds success (albeit short-lived) as Dr. Drake Ramoray on "Days of Our Lives" and moves out ("We're not Bert and Ernie," he tells roommate Chandler). Future Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow's best season is to come, but, as Phoebe, she makes the most of some memorable subplots, including her shocked discovery of sad movie endings she had been shielded from ("The One Where Old Yeller Dies"), her dispute with Ross over evolution ("The One Where Heckles Dies"), and her channeling of an elderly woman who died on her massage table ("The One with the Lesbian Wedding"). Praise is due unsung hero Lauren Tom, so charming and sweet in the thankless role as Julie, the Girl Who Comes Between Ross and Rachel. Adam Goldberg also makes an indelible impression in his three-episode stint as Chandler's new "psycho" roommate. Notable omissions from this set include chapter stops for each episode, and uh, ahem, hel-LOH, how about commentary from the cast? --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews: - What do you expect?
If you love "Friends," you'll love this collection. Before I purchased Season 1 and Season 2 on DVD, I bought "The Best of Friends." Some of the better episodes aren't on the "Best" but the complete season DVDs leave nothing out.
The only improvement I would make is to add some better extras-perhaps with the cast and some deleted scenes. Otherwise, you know what you're getting if you are a fan of the show....more info - More Friends!
Thanks for this product. The price was great and the shipping timeframe was great....more info - "Oh, the cow in the meadow goes moo..."
The FRIENDS have done it again! They're back in Season Two with even more surprises!!! The season starts off with "The One With Ross' New Girlfriend", which sadly, isn't Rachel. It picks up as in last season, where Rachel was going to the airport to meet Ross after his trip from China, to tell him of her feelings, which was something ROSS shouldda done LAST season!
Anyway, Ross comes home with Julie, an old college friend in charge of the dinosaur dig in China, which leaves Rachel in a pissed-off-awe.
In season two, more deep secerts are revealed on Ross and Rachel's past, we find out Phoebe has a husband, perfect Monica gets fired from her job, Joey drinks breast milk, Chandler gets a new roomie, and many more other events occur in The Compete Second Season of Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...more info - Vintage Friends
At the outset, I must confess that I am a big Friends fan. I was in the market for one season, and I chose season two after reading the reviews here. I was not disappointed. We love this collection!...more info - The Second Feast Of Friends
After a phenomenal debut season like Friends,most shows coast on it's success and start to slip in quality.But Friends would only get better with each successive season.
Changes were in the air for the group.Joey joined the cast of Days Of Our Lives as the ill fated Dr.Drake Ramoray,we meet Phoebe's ex husband (Steve Zahn),Chandler gets a new roommate(Adam Goldberg)who turns out to be a psycho,and Monica falls in love with her dad's best friend Dr. Richard Burke(Tom Selleck).The seasons driving force is the beginning of the on/off again relationship between Rachel and Ross.
Many classic episodes came from this season including The One where Heckles Dies,...the Baby on the Bus,...where Ross Finds Out,...the List,...where Ross and Rachel ... You Know,...where Dr. Ramoray Dies and ...Two Parties.
But also from season two was The One With The Prom Video,considered the greatest Friends episode ever.Not only are we treated to a plot involving a hidious bracelet Joey gives to Chandler,but an old video of Rachel and Monica's prom.Giving a glimpse into to past at an overwieght Monica,a pre-nose job Rachel,and an extremely dorky Ross("Looking Good Mr. Kotter).The most surprising moment is after viewing the video and Rachel seeing how much Ross really loved her,she finally kisses him(his Lobster) one of those special moments why Friends beloved by it's many fans....more info - Great
Excellent service!
And the item was in the conditions he advertised ...more info - Lack of chapters upsetting
The episodes are great, and I love the fact that it will play all the episodes straight through, but there are no individual chapters in each episode. If you try to skip to the next chapter, you go to the next episode. Therefore, you have to fast-forward through the entire episode if there is a specific part you want to see. The lack of effort in creating the dvds is obvious....more info - I am the number 1 fan of friends and you can't say you are!
OMG! I am the number 1 fan of friends. I've seen all the episodes over 20 times, I know practically all the words to all the episodes. I also know all the small details that most people don't like that Rachel's parents payed 40,000$ for the wedding with Barry. Also that Ross is alergic to kiwi. And that Chandler got bit by a peacock at the zoo. Oh and also that Joey has a bed time penguin pal called Hugzie. How many of you know that hu? You seriouslly HAVE to buy this DVD! Friends is the best show that ever walked the planet and I am TOTALLY obsessed....more info - This DVD set is kick you in the crotch, spit on your neck FANTASTIC!
I have watched this season so many times I have literally memorized every plot..every guest star..practically every line! All the episodes are hilarious but these are my favorites: TOW Ross' New Girlfriend, TOW Ross Finds Out, TOW the List, TOW the Prom Video, TOW Ross and Rachel...You Know, and TOW Joey Moves Out. The second season of Friends started the monumental relationship of Rachel and Ross which goes on and off more than a lightswitch throughout the entire series. Also Tom Selleck who plays Monica's much older boyfriend, Richard is a spectacular guest star. The second season starts with Ross returning from China, new girlfriend, Julie attatched snugly to his shoulder, and ends with Ross and Rachel together, Monica and Richard in a tragic breakup due to his reluctancy to have children. Many plot twists and turns make for an interesting season that I have enjoyed for a very long time and I'm sure I still will!...more info - Lovely Friends!
Great quality, amazing extra features and trivia game, love the footage never seen before! ...more info - Actually this season has more than Ross and Rachel kissing
I am still not at the point where I can recognize the bonus footage included in "Friends: The Complete Second Season" on DVD, but I can tell that the second season was an overall improvement on the first, despite the fact that the series did not put its best foot forward with "The One After the Super Bowl Pars 1 & 2" (thumbs up on Julia Roberts, both thumbs down on Brooke Shields and Jean-Claude Van Damme). Obviously getting Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) to the point where they would actually kiss was a key dynamic, but what made this a better season was that Monica (Courtney Cox) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc), the two weakest characters in the first season, were finally given something to do. For Monica it was a romance with Dr. Richard Burke (Tom Selleck), the old friend of the family, while Joey landed the unforgettable part of Dr. Drake Ramoray on "Days of Our Lives" and actually moves out of the apartment with Chandler. Chandler (Matthew Perry) continues to crack jokes to ease all the pain in his life and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) sings "Smelly Cat" for the first time, but even as background for most of these episodes they both steal their share of scenes.Best episodes from the Second Season: "The One with Ross' New Girlfriend," but because Phoebe gives Monica the wrong "Moore" style hair cut (Dudley instead of Demi) more than Rachel discovering Ross is now with Julie the paleontologist; "The One Were Heckles Dies," not only because the girl inherit his junk, but because Phoebe goes toe to toe with Ross on evolution; "The One With Ross Finds Out," where Rachel protests too much about being "over" Ross; "The One with the Prom Video" and the killer moment when Rachel finds out what she did not know way back when and discovers Ross is her "lobster"; "The One Where Eddie Moves In," where Adam Goldberg moves into Chandler's apartment and provides the best guest starring role of the season (plus the "Smelly Cat" video); "The One Where Old Yeller Dies" and Phoebe finds out why her moment never let her seen the end of the famous Disney doggie snuff film; "The One with the Bullies," where Chandler and Ross go to toe to toe with a couple of bullies over the couch at Central Perk; and "The One with Barry & Mindy's Wedding," where the focus might be on Rachel as maid of honor at her ex-fiance's wedding, but the pivotal point is Monica and Richard breaking up over the subject of children (cross apply the irony and poignancy to this season's adoption plot line forced by Arquette's real world problems conceiving: is there anyone on the planet that more people would like to see pregnant?). If the first season was a 4.0, then the second gets "Friends" up to 4.5. The justification for rounding up is the payoff to "The One with the Prom Video" (the kiss and not what Monica discovers her parents had put on the end of the videotape). "TV Guide" listed that as one of the Top 100 moments in television history, and it was not until Chandler's proposal to Monica turned out to really be a surprise that the series topped this one. If only Ross and Rachel did not go "on a break" during the next season, then things might have turned out differently....more info - One of the best seasons
Friends was a great shows, but of all the seasons this one is among the very best. Funny episodes, funny actors, even better than the first....more info - So when were you....under me?
The title of this review is just one of the great lines in the second season, or for that matter any season of Friends. Friends is a unique show in that even when they have an episode that [stinks] compared to other Friends episodes, it is great compared to other shows. I can say that I have never seen an episode I did not find enjoyable, especially this season. Joey moving out and eventually moving back in provide 3 hilarious episodes with Eddy, Chandlers new roommate. There of course are the ones with Ross and Rachel getting together which are classics and partly the reason a lot of people even watch Friends. Anyway, enough rambling, I have some Friends to watch. You should too....more info - Friends, my favorite show of all time!!
Ahhh, the season where Ross and Rachel FINALLY become a couple! All through the 1st season, we witnessed Ross's many attempts to express his feelings for Rachel. In this season, Ross and Rachel become a couple, but it wasn't easy for them to get there. At the beginning of this season, Ross meets a woman named Julie, who is his girlfriend for the first couple of months and Rachel shows her jealously throughout Ross and Julie's relationship. Ross breaks up with Julie when he discovers that Rachel has feelings for him. But Ross does something that angers Rachel to the very core of her being; he makes a list that compares her and Julie. Rachel finds out about the list and blows off Ross for a couple of months. Then Rachel views a video of her and Monica going to senior prom. Rachel's date is late, so Monica's father suggests Ross take Rachel to the prom. Ross didn't think it was a very good idea, but he goes along with it anyways. But, when Ross is upstairs getting ready, Rachel's date shows up, leaving Ross heartbroken. Rachel never knew about this until she sees the prom video. As soon as the video is over, Rachel kisses Ross and they finally become a couple. This is also the season where Monica meets and falls in love with the man of her dreams. But their romance is short-lived due to a serious matter. This is defintely a great DVD to add to your Friends collection. Hope you enjoy!!...more info - OK, what kind of a sick doogie snuff film is this? from the one the where old yeller dies
This season is really funny. This season shows Phoebes song Smelly Cat. It shows Monica's older boyfriend Richard played by Tom Selleck. Rachel and Ross begin dating, and Joey is on a soap opera and Chandler uh well nothing much happens with him but he does get back together at the end of the season with Janice. They both go OH MY GOD and then they kiss and then everyone says OH MY GOD. I really love this season and I love FRIENDS. ...more info - things that matters
The Show runs human emotions at some fine scale that you don't even realize how fine and caring they are (unless you get to experience them first-hand as each episode progresses). I tend to get messed up, I laugh, I cry, I startle...The highlight of the season may well be the one with Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross (David Schwimmer) getting together; here as elsewhere even the most "life-threatening" or perhaps "serious" issues become resolvable with little human touch and gesture....more info - so no one told you life was gonna be this way...
i got introduced to friends through the dvd box sets, and it's been a pleasure to watch them in order, with the full episode included, uncut. certain lines or parts of scenes are cut out on tv, so if you're a die-hard fan, having the episodes on dvd can be preferable. i'm liking the third season better than second right now, but that's only a personal preference. there are some classic episodes included on this set - lots of ross and rachel, joey's first big role as drake ramoray on days of our lives, joey moving out of the apartment with chandler, and monica's relationship with an older man, richard. being that chandler and phoebe are my favorite characters, i missed their involvement a bit, but they got subplots. highlights: ross and rachel 'you-knowing' in the planetarium part of the museum where ross works, phoebe's "smelly cat", ross making a list about rachel, monica's character developing as she grows closer to richard, chandler finding an internet girl who turns out to be janice, all the tension between ross rachel and julie, etc. lowlights: something about the episodes where eddie moved in seemed less well written and a little tedious. maybe it was just the fact that i was sick when I was watching them. *g* the fact that there are no chapters in episodes themselves, as others have mentioned, is a drawback. should have commentary from the six main character actors themselves; other shows do! deleted scenes would be nice; some of the special features seem useless, like showing a short clip of each guest actor when if you just watch the episodes, you have the whole thing. being able to check out monica and rachel's apartment in detail was kind of cool, though. and the quiz game was fun. if you get it wrong, it shows a clip of one of the characters shouting "no!", which i thought was incredibly clever and funny. that's all i can think of off the top of my head; i'm at work and can't check the dvds for specifics. :)...more info - Arguably the best if not the best season in the series
I personally like all 10 seasons of this show but there is something about Season 2 that just keeps you wanting to watch friends and re-watch this season. As this show gets into its older seasons there is always something that upsets me in some way. For example, Chandler just starts getting bashed on more and more later on and Monica gets really annoying. Also, Ross and Rachel never get back together ONCE until the end of the show after they break up in the 1st episode in the 4th season except for their little flings and Emma who's born in the 9th season. But even though all the seasons are good there are always some episodes in the other seasons that annoy me. However, the second season is not like this.
Season 2 of the show FRIENDS starts off right where it left off from season 1 and the story line is great. But the jokes and the acting and everything just gets better. This is where the show really starts to take off. It starts off with Rachel at the airport to welcome Ross back but he comes back with a new girlfriend, Julie, and that starts the Rachel jelousy. Then Ross finds out that Rachel likes him and he realizes in the episode "The one where Ross finds out" that he needs to be with her. Then after a few bumps in the road they finally are able to get together which is a really great moment for the show. But I think this season is great not just for Ross and Rachel but for the other characters. You realize the closeness that Chandler and Joey have for one another in the episodes that Joey wants to and does move out before he comes back. Also, especially the really funny jokes chandler brings to this season starting from the beginning to the end which got better from Season 1 are good. Joey's character even matures throughout. Then Monica dates Richard and has a serious relationship that gets referred back to in the other seasons. I thought that was a good storyline to put in. Then Pheobe just brings her cool weirdness that plays an interesting part in the whole season. There are really no episodes at all in this season that I don't want to re-watch. They are all very good. Even the couple I maybe would say were on the lower end of the episode list have re-play value.
Here are the episodes in the season. If I had to choose a favorite disc or episode I would probably say Disc Three which I think is really good on top of the other ones.

1. "The One With Ross' New Girlfriend"
2. "The One With the Breast Milk"

12. "The one after the Super Bowl"
Disc Three

...more info - Those early years.....
Season two is basically where the R&R story began. TOW Ross' New Girlfriend showed how Ross' once jealousy has now taken position inside Rachel, because when ever she sees Ross and Julie together she feels like what Ross felt when she was with Paolo. In TOW Ross Finds Out, our favorite couple finally realize how good they are together, which took a downtoll in TOW The List where Ross makes lists about all the bad things about Rachel and Julie, and Rachel accidentally reads it. For a few episodes there we thought we'd never see Ross and Rachel together, but BAM! There they are, as a happy couple! (If you want to savior these moments, don't move on to Season 3 any sooner!)
This season also shows us some of Chandler's side. TOW Heckles Dies is technically Chandler's episode where his problems and habits are revealed. He was SO stressed he called Janice! ("Janice? You called JANICE?!" Phoebe questions to Chandler when he's at the coffeehouse) Well, Janice turns up, but with a little surprise. Later, Chandler can't stop thinking about his date's huge head.
Joey and Chandler's friendship enters some problematics when Joey decides to move into an apartment where he can live by himself, leaving Chandler on his own and missing a friend, which makes him get another roommate who turns out to be a fruit-drying-psycopath! But, all things turn out well, Chandler tricks Eddie (his replacement roommate) into thinking he doesn't live in the apartment anymore, and Joey moves back in.
Ross' discomforts toward Carol and Susan's relationship takes a absolutely unexpected turn as the two women decide to get married. Ross says he won't go, but when Carol's parents aren't willing to be a part of the wedding, Ross agrees to coming there and give Carol away.
Monica finds love in a old family friend who is 50, leaving Ross to deal with a lot. While on their dad's birthday party, Monica decides to tell her parents. Ross, terrified as he is, makes sure when the moment hits, neither of his parents have anything to throw at Richard or Monica or possibly anything they could be hit with.
The situations all wrap up and this season ends in TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding. Rachel goes there wearing something that looks like something 'you drink where you're nauseous' and ends up giving some stupid impression. But something Barry says while she's attempting to leave while not insulting her but giving her the power to be strong and sing Copacabanna infront of the guests which was celebrated and sang along with a lot. Then finally the episode ends with Chandler waiting for his internet-mystery girlfriend who turns out to be....you watch for yourself!
This season is very good and I'd recommend you buy this dvd. ...more info - my new favorite show
it's a shame i wasn't in to this show a long time ago. i did watch some of the reruns and after getting all my other shows out of the way i finally rented the first season. i bought 1-3 so far and 1&2 are my favorite. i can't believe the first episode of season 2 is so hilarious!! definitly my favorite ep. so far. great show!...more info - Friends What can I say pricless
Friends Priceless they were all friends you could count on to be there every Thursday night with about the same life problem as you have but they seemed to get into more trouble as we did especially Joey what can I say about Joey poor Joey always into everything never meaning any harm everybody loves him he wants to be a soap star man who doesn't but who ever gets to they have up & downs & help each other out as true friends really should. I just had to have the complete series on my personal collection.& by purchasing here on amazon.com really saved allot of money to help buy the entire collection ...more info - Really begins to his its stride
While the first season of the show is highly enjoyable, it really begins to hit its stride in season two as we get to learn more about each characters' particular eccentricities and we witness more of the ties that bind these characters in friendship. The most important element of this show was the chemistry that these actors had together and season two shows them really continuing to click.
Some of my favorites:
"The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant": Monica unwittingly loses her job when her promotion leads her to accept a gift which, unbeknownst to Monica, is a violation of company policy. The thing I like most about this episode is how it treats the disparate incomes of the characters and how the more financially strapped of the friends must deal with the financial advantages of the others. Been there, done that.
"The One with the Baby on the Bus": Chandler and Joey prove just how stupid they can be when the inadvertently leave Ross's son Ben on a city bus. Phoebe's immortal "Smelly Cat" is introduced in this episode and she loses her performing gig at Central Perk, much to my chagrin as her strange lyrics and musical interpretation provided me with much mirth. The episode also contains a memorable guest appearance by Chrissie Hynde, who is Phoebe's replacement.
"The One Where Ross Finds Out": Rachel has a hilariously bad date that leads to a drunken confession of her feelings for Ross on his answering machine. What I love most about this episode is Ross's immortal line: "You're over me? When were you under me?"
"The One with the List": Ross breaks a cardinal rule by putting in writing things that are deeply hurtful to Rachel.
"The One with Russ": Rachel dates Ross's clone, though she doesn't know it at first. It's great fun to see David Schwimmer play two versions of his character.
"The One After the Super Bowl": Chock full of guest starts doing a hilarious turn. Chandler gets his comeuppance courtesy of Julia Roberts. Dan Castellaneta (aka the voice of Homer Simpson) does a funny turn as a San Diego Zoo employee who has the information Ross is looking for but does a spectacularly bad job of trying to get Ross to pay for it. Brooke Shields is hysterical as a wacko fan who is convinced that Joey truly is Dr. Drake Ramore.
"The One with the Prom Video": We've seen how petty and downright mean Ross can be and now this episode shows us how kind and generous and thoughtful he can be. This has to be one of the most memorable episodes in the series' long history.
"The One Where Eddie Won't Go": Ah, how I can relate to Chandler's troubles with a truly deranged roommate. Watching Joey and Chandler convince Eddie that he doesn't live with Chandler is so rewarding.
"The One with the Chicken Pox": Few things are as funny as watching Phoebe and guest star Charlie Sheen paw at one another with oven mitts duct taped to their hands. This is one of the episodes that shows how unlucky in love poor, sweet Phoebe is.
As I looked over the list and tried to choose my favorites, I realized I could have mentioned every single episode of season two. ...more info - The BEST season
Season one was great, but this season was even better.
The building tension between Ross and Rachel until "The One With The Prom Video". Then soon after the main focus becomes the risk of Joey and Chandler losing their friendship when Joey moves out for a better place.
This season started with Rachel being extremely jelous of Julie (Ross' new girlfriend), then them dating for one day until Rachel finds a list of pros and cons about her and Julie.
Then Ross desperately trying to get Rachel back until she views an old home video of Ross planning to ask Rachel to the prom, she is flattered by the video, and they get together.
Joey and Chandler were at a height in this season, with the ups and downs of their friendship, and Joey's period of stardom as Dr. Drake Ramoray of Days of Our Lives.
With those two things aside, there were also many short side plots in this season, Carol and Susan's wedding, Phoebe's gay husband, money, breast milk, wierd roommates, job searches, babys left on bus's, and Monkey's in movies.
Here comes the list of episodes in the order that I like them.
The One Where Eddie Won't Go
The One Where Ross Finds Out
The One With The Chicken Pox
The One After The Superbowl
The One With The Bullies
The One Where Ross and Rachel...You Know
The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies

... in my top 3 seasons of often beloved,sometimes hated but undoubtely one of the most influential tv series in 90's, Friends. There is also no weak episode in the whole bunch and those two which I consider the weakest (TOW Phoebe's Husband and TOW Five Steaks, An Eggplant) are still above average. Also this is the season where all main characters had given some kind of story arc which helped a lot in fleshing them out. We got here official start of Ross' and Rachel's relationship on one hand and Joey's and Chandler's friendship on the another, also Monica found her dream guy (one of the most appropriate recurring guest star Tom Selleck) and finally Phoebe started to look for her father during the second year. Of course, aside of this there were many other plots, main or side, which kept whole run fresh and unpredictable. Also this is the season full of guest stars which I personally don't mind excluding van Damme's cameo which I find quite embarrassing. On the opposite side stands Brooke Shields and particularly Adam Goldberg whose performance was hilarious. But the real reason why I found this year the best is that all episodes are filled with great gags, one liners, funny situations which are going hand in hand with storylines therefore are not purposeless, there is even some space for tears but never in the way you would say you're watching soap opera with laughs (that was my problem with some episodes in later seasons). So we got here more lively characters, precise scripts, really a big amount of great laughs and above all fresh main cast having fun being a part of it. All six were really enjoying portraying their characters and you'll know it. For me this is the hardest season to choose favourite eps from but those should probably be TOW Breast Milk (great western films send offs),TOW List (emotional and funny in the same time),TOW Prom Video (obvious choice, one of the most famous eps of riends ever, home video sequence and the execution of the result is perfect), TO After the Superbowl part 1 (Brooke Shields outdid herself also Marcel the monkey returns) and to round it up to five I choose TOW Dr. Ramoray Dies (Adam Goldberg is funny as hell in this one, Tom Selleck vs. David Schwimmer are great as is Dr. Ramoray's departure). I can't really say which season is the second best and which the third but because of all above I'm pretty sure I like this one the most. Nothing's perfect but this one's really close. 100 percent recommended!...more info - Friends 2nd season
It didn't even come in the sleeve/case. It didn't tell me anywhere that it wouldn't come in the case. I would like to have the case....more info - everyone's favorite multi-cultural gang!!!
Friends is so Great!! It shows you how people from culturally diverse backgrounds can get along and live together, not like most tv shows where they'd have you believe everyone in the world (let alone big cities like New York) is white. Also I like it when the Friends go to events, concerts, new restaurants, ethnic festivals, etc., and really explore the city and world around them. Not like most shows where the main characters just sit around the same place and talk. How boring, right!?Friends is truly an enlightening revelation in the tv world!!! So get Friends Season Whatever on dvd now!!!...more info - We watch our Freinds continue their journey
Many celebrities make guest appearances on the second season after they had such high aclaim the first season it seemed impossible to top it. But the second season was just as good if not better than the first season of friends.We watch as Monica deals with the love of an older man, Joey gets a job on Days of Our Lives, Chandler makes is corny jokes, Pheobe is clueless but not and Ross and Rachel try together but they can becuase of many problems. It's the journey through these six characters that makes it so interesting to watch because we can all relate to one or more of them. Bottomline: Freinds season 2 is the next thing to get after season 1....more info - Friends

My Top Ten Favorite Episodes -
This season is so good that it is hard to pick a top 10 list because of so many good episodes. Some episodes that didn't make the list would be high on some of the top ten of the last seasons of Friends. Probably the best season overall because of Ross & Rachel being together (later seasons screwed up by having them apart and dating others but occasionally getting back together and eventually having a daughter together still not as satisfying as season two's take on their romance). Disk 3 is almost perfect as far as great episodes go. Not one episode on that disk is a let-down.
# 1 - The One Where Ross and Rachel....You Know - This episode gaves fans what we wanted all along, Ross & Rachel on their first date. On top of that Monica & Richard (Tom Selleck) hook up as well and Chandler & Joey get the new chairs and a big screen tv. One of the best episodes of the series let alone this season.
# 2 - The One Where Eddie Won't Go - Hilarious episode. Eddie is very funny as the insane roommate of Chandler. Having Chandler & Joey reunited was a nice touch. The girls having empowerment leads to comedy when Rachel tells Ross something funny. Eddie is the show-stealer here and was missed after this episode. The episode also showed how Joey & Chandler living together led to great comedy.
# 3 - The One Where Ross Finds Out - Funny episode when Rachel is out on a date she drives him nuts because she is stuck on Ross. Rachel gets drunk and calls Ross leaving a message about how she is over him. A hungover Rachel the next day can't remember she left the message until Ross calls home to check his messages. Show has the best ending of the series when Ross & Rachel finally kiss for the first time.
# 4 - The One With The Prom Video - The first flashback episode to when Monica was fat, Rachel had a bad nose & Ross had his curly hair & mustache. Showed all the characters that Ross truly loved Rachel even back in her highschool and his college years. Phoebe's lobster story was funny and sweet.
# 5 - The One with the List - Ross gets himself into trouble just when it seems like he and Rachel are about to hook up. He can't seem to decide between her and Julie when Chandler and Joey suggest making a list of her good & bad traits. A great episode for Ross & Rachel being sooooo close to being together but he messes things up.
# 6 - The One Where Joey Moves Out - Funny episode for Joey licking a spoon putting it back without washing it and his story about soap. Emotional when Joey moves out making you think just when you think the show is stable and reliable anything can happen.
# 7 - The One Where Dr Ramoray Dies - Joey's character is killed off when he makes a remark about making up his own lines. Eddie seems stranger as Chandler's roommate. Joey & Chandler miss each other but can't bring themselves to admit it to each other.
# 8 - The One With Two Parties - The cast was top-notch here as they had to go between the men's & women's apartment to keep Rachel's parents away from one another. The men were at their best (especially Ross in dealing with Rachel's stiff dad). Joey kissing Rachel's mom to distract her from her ex-husband leaving was also un-expected and hilarious. Monica's freaky sense of order showed up majorly for one of the first times in the series.
# 9 - The One With The Chicken Pox - One of the best guest-star episodes of the series as Charlie Sheen plays Phoebe's sub-marine boyfriend who surfaces every once in awhile. Comedy ensues when Phoebe gets Chicken Pox for the first time and gives it to her boyfriend. Instead of romance the two try to scratch each other instead of making love. Monica feels she is too neurotic for Richard but he attempts to ease her mind by trying to convince her that she is normal.
# 10 - The One With Russ - One of David Schwimmer's best acting jobs as he plays a duel role as Russ & Ross. Rachel dates a guy who is exactly like Ross & everyone sees the similarity except Rachel, Russ & Ross. Even though you want Ross & Rachel to be together her being with Russ this episode shows she still wants to be with Ross.
