Season 1: When the first series of Friends debuted in September 1994, it was immediately obvious there would be no need for the show to find its feet. "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate" was a confident introduction to the six lead characters, opening in the middle of an everyday conversation with the soon-to-be uncharacteristic line: "There's nothing to tell". In fact, the soap opera-style plot got complicated pretty quickly, with spoiled brat Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) moving on from her failed wedding to feelings toward nerdy/heartthrob Ross (David Schwimmer). However, no love life was more complicated than Joey's (Matt LeBlanc), with an endless stream of girlfriends that annoyed the hell out of wisecracking roommate Chandler (Matthew Perry), who only seemed to be able to connect with Janice (Maggie Wheeler), the shrillest voice in the city. Bouncing all manner of neuroses around them were Ross' obsessive sister Monica (Courteney Cox) and endearingly ditzy Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow). Premise established, Series 1 matured the characters by providing a monkey and a son for Ross. We met also meet Ross and Monica's parents Jack (Elliott Gould) and Judy (Christina Pickles), Chandler's mother (Morgan Fairchild) and Phoebe's twin sister Ursula (Kudrow, naturally). Fans loved cameos from George Clooney, Jay Leno and show creators Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane. But really the focus was on building to "T.O.W. Rachel Finds Out" that Ross is in love with her. --Paul Tonks
Customer reviews:  Four episodes of classic FRIENDS, 2001-02-05
Series 1 of freinds is great to watch, filled with memories of old heaircuts, past girlfriends and all the information to fill the gaps for those that started watching later than the rest of the addicted 'friends' watchers. Don't miss out on these episodes with Joey's parents, the valentine's day bonfire night, Ross and Joey's sexy talk and Phoebe's twin. I have series 1 and 2 and always watch them particularly as now, friends is becoming more and more complicated and the characters arent as original and funny as they used to. Watching the earlier series just gives you a chance to remember how they sarted out. So for the friends fans and those that just want a great video, I recommend series 1 and 2 and definitely these 4 episodes (one of my favourite being series 1 episode 13).
