One of TV's all time funniest shows - Review written on April 05, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

Few comedy series have made me laugh (and cry) like "Friends". I love the entire series. It's what I watch when I need a laugh. Season 9 has some great moments, as our friends - Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey - begin to really start the adult phase of life. And it's still hilarious, just like the first 8 seasons. If you are a fan of the show, it's worth it to get the series on DVD.

I am afraid that this is not an objective review. I loved the series and had to have the full 10 seasons. For those who truly loved spending time with "Friends", this is a must.

My husband and I get what we call the "Sunday Blues" when the weekend is winding up and we are getting ready for another Monday and hectic work week away from each other. This is the last season to complete our collection of 1-10 and it is not uncommon for us to watch a disc of any of the 10 "5 star" seasons on any given night but especially on "Blue Sunday" evenings. You are always with friends here and the season takes a big turn this time with Joey and Rachel, what fun!

I know, you can watch reruns of the show every day of the week. But when you buy the whole season you get so much more. I was surprised that every episode had never before seen scenes. The deleted scenes should have been left in, but a bonus for fans that intend to purchase the DVD. I would definetly recommend this to anyone. It's light and fun and who doesn't like to laugh. It sure beats watching the mostly depressing daily events of our ever changing world in which we live. There's no better way to escape for a few hours. LOVED IT!!

As with the previous seasons, the ninth one only gets better with age.
The continuing "friend"ship of Joey, Chandler, Ross, Rachael, Phebe, and Monica, the show is timeless. If you are collecting all seasons, you can't miss this one.

This was my second favorite season, definitely. At first it was tricky to pick my favorite out of season 8 and 9. I picked season 8. This started and ended with a bang. I really enjoyed the character Charlie, and Monica and Chandler trying to have a baby. This was an absolutely strong season, with good humor. My favorite episodes were "The One where Emma Cries", "The One with the Pediatrician", "The One with the Sharks", "The One with the Male Nanny", "The One with Ross's Inappropriate Song", "The One with Rachel's Phone Number", "The One where Rachel Goes Back to Work, "The One where Monica Sings, "The One with Phoebe's Rats", The One with the Blind Dates", "The One with the Mugging", "The One with the Boob Job", "The One with the Memorial Service", "The One with the Lottery", "The One with Rachel's Dream", "The One with the Soap Opera Party", "The One with the Donor", and "The One in Barbados."

Friends is a great show, even if some people say it overstayed its welcome. The 9th season is my least favorite, but even so, there were quite a few episodes where I was actually laughing out loud. Mike was a new character added this season, and he steals the show. You wish that he was there all along!

I remember putting Season 9 as the worst season of Friends in my book, but it's not as bad as I remembered. Some episodes are actually incredibly funny. The faux pas was when they started to have Aisha Tyler guess star as Charlie, and have her come between Joey and Ross. Also, the whole story line with Rachel's infatuation for Joey could've been better executed, or shouldn't have been there at all. It got bad towards the end, but I'm not disappointed. The stuff leadings towards it was classic Friends.

I love friends!! it's my all time tv series, I think that it's one of the few tv series that you can watch several time in your life and still laught on the same jokes, that alone justify the price of owning these dvd. I recommend all the seasons, I thinks that all of them are very funny

Over the course of about 3 months, I have bought and watched all ten seasons of "Friends". I didn't start watching the show in it's first run until it had been on for several years, so the ninth season is probably the first one that I had watched on a weekly basis, as it was broadcast. By the time I was ready for the ninth season, I watched it, one disc after the other, in one long day! I think you can conclude that I liked it!

Until I received this season of "Friends" as a gift, I had forgotten how good the last few seasons were. I think around season 5 or 6 "Friends" seemed like it was losing some of its original spark, but they really made a comeback, and Season 9 is well done and hilarious. Like all sitcoms, the characters get into zany situations, but the stories are more realistic than some shows, and all the charm and heart that made the first few seasons such a success is still there in full force.

Just like seasons 1-8, I'm sure I'll be watching season 9 over and over again in the months and years to come. And the extras included on the DVD make it even better!

I must say that I really love this season and not until I was able to watch the extra scenes and watch all of them in order did I realize just how great a season it was. The 10th season is cloaked with sadness because it was coming to a close. But the 9th is not !

A Great Sitcom Winding Down - Review written on August 23, 2005
* * * *
Rating: 4 out of 5

It is rare for a sitcom to sustain its humor over several seasons. It happened to all the best... Seinfeld, Cheers, and now Friends. Don't get me wrong, Season 9 is still funny as hell but I find the "mid-seasons" the funniest - 4,5,6,7. Some old jokes are just repeated and rehashed already with some no longer appropriate given the age of our Friends now.

The stories are still great and I am very happy where our Friends are now. Joey making it big. Phoebe finding true love. Chandler and Monica wanting to seriuosly start a family and so on.

Season 9 may not be the funbiest but it certainly solidifies Friends place as one of the best sitcoms ever. Looking forward to The Complete Tenth Season!!

Ok so I love the 9th Season of Friends. It was the funniest season of them all! The best episode ( in my oppinion) is the second episode where Joey and Ross have a run in at the Coffee House and Joey doesnt know how to use air quates! It is hillarious!! Definatly a must-have for any "friends" fan!
Friends Season 9: TOW Emma, Mike, and Charlie - Review written on August 03, 2005
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5
4 customers found this review helpful.

Season 9 deals with Rachel being a mother to the newborn Emma, the introduction of Phoebe's soon to be husband Mike (Paul Rudd), Chandler and Monica deciding to finally have a baby, and the last minute reemergence of Ross-Rachel-Joey triangle. I believe all of them produced productive stories for the characters except the triangle. I think it was a wrong turn not only was it already done before, it produced absolutely nothing except dragged the Ross and Rachel hookup. (I mean does anybody really think Rachel and Joey will end up together?) But I can forgive that wrong turn because Season 9 is a strong season in spite of that.

There are a number of standout episodes but here are my top five.

1. TOW the Lottery - this is an ensemble show and the fact that I chose this as the best episode of the season just proves that the show is really at its strongest when all the cast is together. There's some great one-liners, some slapstick, and some drama. I love this episode!

2. TOW Rachel's Other Sister - Another ensemble episode and another standout Thanksgiving episode. Christina Applegate gave an amusing performance. Some great one-liners from Rachel ("I went to the zoo yesterday, now I'm a koala bear" "Yeah Ross when I have a heart attack at a restaurant I want you there with your fossil brush") Some classic Monica obsessing with the plates and kookiness of Phoebe (check out how she's the only one eating the food the way Monica asked them to protect the plates) and you've got a classic episode.

3. TOW Emma Cries - The girls stole this episode. And it was a relief that Emma would actually be used well as a comedic material Lisa Kudrow was just a riot here ("This just proves that no good can come from having sex with Ross" "Have I gone deaf") And there's the Ross-Joey storyline which is a good B story.

4. TOW the Inappropriate Song - I like this episode largely because of Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe finally meets Mike's parents. I love how she adopts that "upscale-Hepburnesque" accent, how she inadvertently blurts out her not so impressive past, how she forces herself to eat meat, and how she brings Smelly cat in the conversation. I love everything about it.

5. TOW the Male Nanny - The 200th episode, Freddie Prinze Jr. surprisingly gave an amusing and not to mention a non-annoying performance. It's a funny storyline with Schwimmer and Aniston having some funny scenes. ("It's not like you just came in from branding cattle" "Its like firing Elmo")

Grade: A
