Friends - The Complete Second Season really hit the jackpot! This show was mega-popular thanks to The Rachel haircut and of course the talented and irreplaceable cast. I love the season 2, it's hilarious and witty! Lisa Kudrow finally got to shine this season, she was so neglected in season 1, her comic timing is impeccable. The Ross and Rachel storyline was the highlight of the season and Monica's releationship with a much older man, Richard portrayed by Tom Selleck. You've got to pick up season 2, worth every penny. Enjoy!

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.

Thanks for this product. The price was great and the shipping timeframe was great.

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.
