Friends - The Complete Sixth Season (1999)

"Ahh salmon skin role!"

Friends - The Complete Sixth Season could be the last great season of this popular show. Seasons 7-10 dragged a bit in terms of storylines and character development. Season 6 is pure delight, Monica and Chandler decide to live together leaving Rachel to room with Phoebe. Rachel finds out she is still legally married to Ross who has postpone the allument papers leaving them to divorce instead. The season finale is an hour long episode which Tom Selleck reprises his role as Richard just as Chandler is about to pop the question to Monica. Great season, talented cast, and the laughs continue, enjoy! August 23, 2008

Can't go wrong

I love Friends and I am collecting all of the seasons so I was very happy to find this half off. It was delivered quickly, and without any problems. I highly recommend this - it's a great season. May 28, 2008

order cancelled by company or Amazon without my consent

I ordered this product, and found out a few days later that the order was cancelled without my consent either by the company or by Amazon. I'm not such a big fan of that. May 5, 2008

A very funny season, kept fresh by new arrangements of characters

The producers/writers of Friends wisely allowed the characters to age as the series progessed. Not only did this introduce new story possibilities (as the Friends matured and wanted more permanent relationships, for example), but kept the characters aging with the core audience that was aging at the same time. In this season, the primary season-long arc is the relationship between Chandler and Monica, culminating with Chandler's proposal in the season finale. Naturally, a Chandler-Monica pairing breaks up the Chandler-Joey and Monica-Rachel pairings that dominated the first 5 seasons, adding a fresh look to the apartments and the interactions between the characters.

Obviously one storyline does not a season make: other major occurances in this season include Ross dating both Rachel's sister and a 19(?)-year-old former student, Rachel and Phoebe moving in together, and Joey starting on a new TV show and having a rare "long-term" relationship. Prominent guest stars include Reese Witherspoon and Elle Macpherson as Rachel's sister and Joey's love interest respectively. They both fit seamlessly into the show, and I especially liked Macpherson's caustic outsider (of Monica: "She's awfully loud for such a small person!") having to pretend to like Joey's friends. Not as successful is Bruce Willis's appearance as Ross's girlfriend's father (and briefly Rachel's boyfriend). Like Julia Roberts in Season 2, he brings a weirdly inappropriate intensity to the role (although it almost pays off in the final show of his arc, when he ends up weeping on Rachel's lap for hours). Finally, the incomparable Tom Selleck makes his final 2 appearances as Richard, playing the part of spoiler in the season finale when he tries to win Monica back just as Chandler has worked up the nerve to ask Monica to marry him.

These middle seasons are the best seasons of Friends. The early seasons were dominated by too many gimmicks (Ross's monkey, Phoebe's pregnancy, etc.), and the later seasons seem to run out of steam. In Season 6, the writers and the performers are at the tops of their games, and this is one of the best seasons of Friends. February 19, 2008
