Friends season 2 dvd review

One of the most successful television series of its time, Friends won numerous awards as a perennial favorite of fans and critics alike. Set in New York City, the show features the lives of six twenty-something friends who share apartments with each other, Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). The six spend the majority of their free time gathered in a coffee house called “Central Perk” where Rachel works, Monica’s grandmother’s apartment (which she and Rachel rent), and in Joey and Chandler’s apartment (which is across the hall from Monica and Rachel). One of the funniest shows of its era, Friends joined with fellow NBC Seinfeld to create one of the most successful one-two punches in network history... The Friends (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere which begins with Rachel anxiously waiting for Ross at the airport so she can tell him about her feelings. But when Ross exits the plane with his new girlfriend Julie (Lauren Tom) on his arm, Rachel struggles with what she should do. The first several episodes of the season are dominated by this storyline until (in episode #31) a drunken Rachel phones Ross and leaves a message on his answering machine revealing the truth. Forced to decide between Julie and Rachel, Ross constructs a list of pros and cons (episode #32) that Rachel inevitably finds. The incident threatens to destroy their relationship before they finally come together. Meanwhile, Joey lands a part on Days Of Our Lives as Dr. Drake Ramoray, but seals his own fate when his hubris steps on the toes of the show’s writers… Below is a list of episodes included on the Friends Season 2 DVD: Episode 25 (The One with Ross’s New Girlfriend) Air Date: 09-21-1995 Episode 26 (The One with the Breast Milk) Air Date: 09-28-1995 Episode 27 (The One Where Heckles Dies) Air Date: 10-05-1995 Episode 28 (The One with Phoebe’s Husband) Air Date: 10-12-1995 Episode 29 (The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant) Air Date: 10-19-1995 Episode 30 (The One with the Baby on the Bus) Air Date: 11-02-1995 Episode 31 (The One Where Ross Finds Out) Air Date: 11-09-1995 Episode 32 (The One with the List) Air Date: 11-16-1995 Episode 33 (The One with Phoebe’s Dad) Air Date: 12-14-1995 Episode 34 (The One with Russ) Air Date: 01-04-1996 Episode 35 (The One with the Lesbian Wedding) Air Date: 01-18-1996 Episode 36 (The One After the Superbowl: Part 1) Air Date: 01-28-1996 Episode 37 (The One After the Superbowl: Part 2) Air Date: 01-28-1996 Episode 38 (The One with the Prom Video) Air Date: 02-01-1996 Episode 39 (The One Where Ross and Rachel… You Know) Air Date: 02-08-1996 Episode 40 (The One Where Joey Moves Out) Air Date: 02-15-1996 Episode 41 (The One Where Eddie Moves In) Air Date: 02-22-1996 Episode 42 (The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies) Air Date: 03-21-1996 Episode 43 (The One Where Eddie Won’t Go) Air Date: 03-28-1996 Episode 44 (The One Where Old Yeller Dies) Air Date: 04-04-1996 Episode 45 (The One with the Bullies) Air Date: 04-25-1996 Episode 46 (The One with the Two Parties) Air Date: 05-02-1996 Episode 47 (The One with the Chicken Pox) Air Date: 05-09-1996 Episode 48 (The One with Barry and Mindy’s Wedding) Air Date: 05-16-1996

Coach dvd review

Nominated for 16 Emmys and 4 Golden Globes, Coach delighted fans of all ages during its celebrated nine-season run. One of the most underrated sitcoms of its era, the series covers the exploits of fictional Minnesota State Screaming Eagles college football coach Hayden Fox (Craig T. Nelson), the quintessential male chauvinist pig. But unlike many of his politically-incorrect brethren, Hayden has a heart of gold. It’s this softer side that appeals to successful anchorwoman and girlfriend Christine Armstrong (Shelley Fabares). In the locker room, Hayden is joined by assistant coaches Luther Van Dam (Jerry Van Dyke) and Dauber Dybinski (Bill Fagerbakke), the perfect compliments to the coach’s oftentimes sketchy logic. Between his estranged daughter Kelly (Clare Carey), her less-than-manly boyfriend Stuart (Kris Kamm), nagging athletic director Howard Burleigh (Kenneth Kimmins), and ladies basketball coach Judy Watkins (Pam Stone), Hayden is always dispensing sarcasm, trading barbs, or being aggravated by someone. Craig T. Nelson is brilliant in his portrayal of the opinionated and overbearing, yet multidimensional Hayden Fox. His onscreen rapport with co-star Shelley Fabares creates the believable illusion of a true romance. But Coach boasts a cast replete with star power. The series is given a charming comic angle by the underappreciated and long overdue breakout role of Jerry Van Dyke, brother to Dick Van Dyke, who plays the role of Luther Van Dam, the stuttering and kind-hearted bungling best friend of Hayden. Jerry had a few guest appearances in the decades before Coach that were absolute show stoppers (both The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Andy Griffith Show come to mind), but Coach put his talents to use full-time so all the world could see just how funny this man really is. Overall, Coach is a fun and oftentimes brilliant comedy, and the first few seasons are by far the best. So grab yourself a chair and some official Minnesota State Screaming Eagle merchandise and enjoy watching one of the best comedies of its time…! The Coach (Season 1) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Kelly and the Professor” in which Hayden learns that his daughter Kelly, a student at Minnesota State, recently went out on a date with a professor. The revelation drives Hayden crazy, and he’ll go to any lengths to uncover the identity of the guilty faculty member… Other notable episodes from season one include “I’m in Love with a Boy Named Stuart” in which Hayden is introduced to Kelly’s new boyfriend, Stuart, his future arch-nemesis, and “I’m Sorry I Told You My Wife Was Dead” in which Hayden compromises his integrity in an effort to coerce a widow into handing over the massive donation her dead husband had promised the Minnesota State football program.
