Editorial Review:
The eighth season of Friends picks up just moments after Monica and Chandler said, "I do." But the focus of this season is firmly on Rachel's pregnancy, as the story progresses from fatherhood revelations in "The One with the Red Sweater" and "The One Where Rachel Tells..." toward complicated new feelings for Rachel, Ross, and Joey, culminating in the maternity ward two-parter "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby." But it's not all Rachel's pregnancy story. Standalone highlights include "The One with the Rumor" in which the "We Hate Rachel" club started in high school by Ross and a certain Mr. Jennifer Aniston (an uncredited Brad Pitt) is revealed; while "The One with Monica's Boots" has Monica and Chandler arguing over finances when Phoebe and Ross are arguing over the attentions of Sting's wife, Trudie Styler (cameoing as herself). Relationship complications fall upon Phoebe as "The One with the Tea Leaves" hooks her up with a stellar cameo from Alec Baldwin. "The One with Joey's Interview" has Matt LeBlanc in top form preparing to be interviewed by Soap Opera Digest. But time starts to tick faster for everyone in "The One Where Rachel Is Late," as Joey's WWI movie finally arrives, but is overshadowed by the wait for Rachel's overdue arrival. Naturally it's all build-up to the cliffhanger finale and a final emotional surprise. --Paul Tonks

Best of Comedy There are funnier things than Friends on television, but nothing as long-lasting and consistently funny. In Season 8, the acting and directing (as well as visual quality) have improved from the early series, whilst it has lost none of its inventiveness and sparkle.
The season kicks off right after Monica & Chandler's "I do" and with the finding that Rachel is with child. Her pregnancy comes up in all 24 episodes. From the identity of the father ("Oh no- don't tell me it's her!"), to the... more info
FAB FRIENDS!!!! series 8 is such a fab series of friends with every episode guaranteed to make you laugh. Ross' reaction to finding out that Rachel is pregnant is just hilarious, the episode where Chandler takes a bath makes you cry with laughter and the one starring Brad Pitt with the 'I hate Rachel club' is amazing (not only beacuse Brad's in it, it's extremley funny!) Altogether it's a great series with some of the funniest episodes of Friends ever seen. I would recommend this series to any Friends fan I cannot stop... more info
true friends!!!! The best prog. ever has to be FRIENDS!! It's soooo funny I laughed so hard I nearly cried. There's Chandler he's sometimes annoying but he's funny. Monica is very organised. Ross is a bit of a science geek,something suprising happens to Rachel and Ross! Joey is REALLY thick thats why he's so funny. Pheobe is a mad hippy she is so cool!FRIENDS IS THE BEST EVER! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Simply wonderful I have to be honest from the start and say I was never the biggest fan of Friends. I never managed to get into it, finding it amusing at best and only watching it casually if there was nothing else on.
However, that was some time ago and on the high praise from some friends of mine, I decided to have a gamble on one of these new re-releases of the well-known series, starting with this one because it's got the episode with Brad Pitt in from the 'we hate Rachel Green club.' This is kind of sad now they've... more info
