And, with Rachel's baby joining the crib in the season finale, you won't want to miss a single hilarious episode.]]> Review: An eighth year rejuvenation - During the seventh season, many people thought that Friends was near the end. The comedy that existed in the beginning seemed to be a little stale, yet it was still one of the best shows on television. There was talk that season eight would be the final one for the six friends. Then came Sept. 11. Following the horrific events of that day, people began turning to comfort items and Friends was certainly that. Rejuvenated by higher ratings the show took off again and enjoyed quite possibly one of the finest years in the ten year run. The eighth season journeyed down a number of roads, with the two predominant ones being Ross and Rachel's baby and Chandler and Monica as newlyweds. Matthew Perry's Chandler went through a lot of changes during the course of the show, probably the most of any of the characters. Seeing him as a newlywed brings a whole new side to his comedy. He was certainly funny as a single guy living with Joey, but this newlywed Chandler is a different kind of funny. Courtney Cox Arquette is great as the neurotic Monica, finally in a marriage, but with someone she may never have guessed only a few short years ago, before the whole London thing. In this season she attempts to stick it to a reviewer who disses her restaurant, talks Chandler into taking baths and tries to impress her parents with a toast involving a dead dog. Once again, her comedy with Chandler takes on a whole new level. The storyline involving Ross and Rachel's baby is a great one and the episode where everyone finds out exactly how it "happened" is one of the best of the season. As a viewer, most people have been rooting for the two to get together, and this season does that, but at the same time begins to pull them apart. The very beautiful Jennifer Aniston pulls off a pregnant Rachel very well. The nerves, the mood swings, the food aversions, and the actual birth itself are all well done. This is her moment to shine on this show and she takes it and runs with it. As Ross, David Schwimmer continues to be the "divorced guy." He meets Mona at Monica and Chandler's wedding and begins dating her then tries to explain the whole Rachel pregnancy thing to her. He talks himself into many ridiculous situations throughout the course of the season. Matt LeBlanc's Joey gets a great storyline in the season as well, as he realizes he is falling in love with Rachel. This plays out through the season as Rachel moves in with Ross, then after having the baby, says yes to Joey's "proposal", leaving the viewer hanging until the start of season nine. As Phoebe, Lisa Kudrow is often on the outside, but she presents a unique angle on many of the situations. Her stories this year include dating her twin sister's fiancee (Sean Penn), giving Monica a massage and a variety of other strange situations. This season featured some great episodes, as mentioned. One of the great episodes of the ten seasons was the Thanksgiving episode featuring Brad Pitt. He plays a high school friend of Ross who was a founding member of the "I Hate Rachel Green Club". His loathing of her makes for an interesting Thanksgiving for everyone. And it is actually kind of funny to watch him despise his real life wife. All in all, this season was one of the best seasons of the show. Viewers got to see new sides to many of the characters, yet the old back stories that made them who they are still are relevant. The ending to the season was a great one, leaving a viewer hanging on until season nine (Which is due out in a few months). Obviously any fan of Friends is going to want this set, but anyone who is a fan of the sitcom in general and wants to see what good writing and good acting look like, this, or any set from the Friends series, is a good bet. NBC sure misses this show. Review: I feel like this season reinvigorated the series.. - I love Friends, though, personally, I've felt it was at its best season 1-5. When season 6 came around it was good but not quite as good as 5. Then season 7 honestly wasn't very good. It was just a "day in the life" kind of things but there wasn't much going on to really keep you wanting to watch and see what happens. I feel like the writers were struggling to shift the stories with the age of the characters and things happening in their lives. Just when one may think that it's ready to end, the show definitely lives up again this season. Rachel's pregnancy is one of the pushes... but not only that, but the jokes, writing, and acting was all perfected. They allowed the characters to evolve and we could really see new dimensions to their personalities. They really did well this season and while watching this season I'm not at all surprised that they one an Emmy in 2002. Overall, fantastic season and definitely worth watching. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003TNW03K | | Actors | Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry | | Best Sellers Rank | #52,840 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #6,025 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (757) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1000154531 | | Language | Unqualified | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Box set, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 4 | | Producers | David Crane, Kevin S.

It was just a "day in the life" kind of things but there wasn't much going on to really keep you wanting to watch and see what happens.

I will admit I absolutely love EVERY single episode of friends and it will forever be my fave show but season 8 is truly great. Many people think friends was losing its touch around season 7, as it wasnt the greatest and some thought plots were getting stale- but the dynamic group came back full force in season 8 with great new storylines and the magic and freshness that dominated the first few seasons. This was the season that debuted after the unfortunate events of 9/11 in New York and it was at this time that Friends' ratings once again shot through the roof as people found comfort in their favorite show. Now that it has finally been released on DVD we too can find comfort in watching our favorite six over and over on disc now that the show is over forever :(!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1277925-friends-season-8](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1277925-friends-season-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
