It was amazing. Comedy/Situstion/Romance. It is the best TV show on Earth. I know there are lots but I really am their number 1 fan. It would be my dream to be taken on set to meet the cast one day. I have watched all the episodes like 10 times each and I and up crying with laughter every time. Sometimes with sadness like the one with the triplets where Phoebe doesn't want to let the babies go, she started crying at the end and I was crying with her. And the very last one I cried as that was the last ever friends epusode and it was sad SO sad to as it was the last one. So I was crying for like 15 minutes!!! If you played me 5 seconds of 1 episode I could guess the name of which episode it is and get it right! I know you may think I am crazy or a freak or some weird fan but I am really not. Friends is just my life a d if I had 1 wish it would be to meet the cast with my best friend Olivia

Friends was excellent tv. But the price is a rip off. You can buy the svd box set all seasons for less than 50 quid. So paying thesw prices per season doesnt make sense.
