Friends - The Complete Series Collection

I’ll start by telling you that I am a huge fan of the television series Friends. There has never been, and I doubt ever will be, a show that I have enjoyed more than this show. I have seen every episode at least a dozen times each and because of that have most of the dialog committed to memory. So, when I found out that they had the entire show, all ten seasons, on DVD I started thinking of purchasing the set. The price tag was a little daunting but eventually I caved.

Then came the surprise. After watching the show from the DVD’s I started noticing dialog and scenes that I couldn’t remember ever seeing before. At first I thought it was just me not remembering some of the events in the show but after experiencing this with every episode I finally came to the conclusion that it was dialog and scenes that had been cut from the original episodes to fit network time constraints.

Some of the edited dialog was quite amusing and had me watching several episodes during a single sitting just to see the new material. So, for a Friends fan this little surprise was a very welcome, if unexpected, gift.

So, if you are thinking of picking up this set yourself hopefully I have just given you one more reason to do so!
