As I'm finding it very difficult to write something original about each episode… and I'd find it even more difficult to rates the episodes in some kind of order, I'm going to cop out ever so slightly. Basically I love Friends - it's a fantastically funny show, and if you enjoy it - buy it on DVD because they are very re-watchable. For a more technical side - see the Season 1 box set review. but for the individual discs I'm just going to highlight my favourite quote from each episode.

1: The One Where Monica Gets A New Roomate
ROSS: You know what the scariest part is? What if there`s only one woman for everybody, y`know? I mean what if you get one woman- and that`s it? Unfortunately in my case, there was only one woman- for her...

2: The One With The Sonogram At The End
CHANDLER: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y`know? I mean it`s like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.
ROSS: Yeah, and-and it`s not that we don`t like the comedian, it`s that-that... that`s not why we bought the ticket.

3: The One With The Thumb
CHANDLER: Ooh, Lambchop. How old is that sock? If I had a sock on my hand for thirty years it`d be talking too.

4: The One With George Stephanoloulos
CHANDLER: Well, aren`t we Mr. "The glass is half empty".

5: The One With The East German Laundry Detergent
ROSS: Uberveiss. It`s new, it`s German, it`s extra-tough.

6: The One With The Butt
CHANDLER: You can always spot someone who`s never seen one of his plays before. Notice, no fear, no sense of impending doom...

7: The One With The Blackout
JOEY: Hey Ross. This probably isn`t the best time to bring it up, but you have to throw a party for Monica.

8: The One Where Nana Dies Twice
Monica: Mom already called this morning to remind me not to wear my hair up. Did you know my ears are not my best feature?
