The Friends second season picked up right where the first runaway success left off. The scripts are strong, the one-liners just as zippy, and the actors even more endearing

Set in New York City, the series chronicled the lives of six best friends as they navigated through the ups and downs of romance and career from the confines of their local coffee shop and some pretty fabulous Manhattan apartments. While the series originally rode to success on the coattails of its Thursday night predecessor SEINFELD, what differentiated FRIENDS from the rash of copycat sitcoms that followed--and made it a bona fide hit in its own right--was the unique chemistry of its fine ensemble cast: Courtney Cox as neurotic clean freak Monica; David Schwimmer as her endearingly hangdog brother Ross; Matt LeBlanc as none-too-bright actor-wannabe Joey Tribbiani; Matthew Perry as sarcastic computer programmer Chandler Bing; Lisa Kudrow as goofy new-age free spirit Phoebe Buffay; and, of course, Jennifer Aniston as reformed spoiled rich girl Rachel Green (whose highly influential fashion sense launched a thousand hairstyles). This collection includes every episode from the popular series' second season, which featured guest appearances by Elliott Gould, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chris Isaak, Julia Roberts, and Brooke Shields, whose performance secured her a sitcom of her own, SUDDENLY SUSAN.

Reviews for Friends - The Complete Second Season
This set is again choice, packed with good shows and then enough features to ice that particular cake.
Dealing with [Phoebe] is a small sacrifice for enjoying smart writing, witty dialogue, lovably neurotic characters, and increasingly inspired physical antics.
Forget those awful ‘compilation’ DVDs. The full seasons are where the Friends-faithful should spend their hard-earned money.
