Adrian Lowe Sydney Morning Herald 06/27/2018
[This finale was] difficult to believe as a plot movement given Rachel refused Joey's marriage proposal a season earlier, but this episode is saved by...Chandler and Monica trying to conceive but being sprung by her father... Go to Full Review Caryn James New York Times 12/07/2017
Heading into its ninth and most likely final season this fall, ''Friends'' has taken every clich from the ''very special episode'' handbook and through some alchemy of good writing and performing turned hackneyed ideas into funny, energetic, fresh shows.

Season eight is inconsistent, but its highs are oh so high. Go to Full Review Adam Chitwood Collider 06/27/2018
One of the reasons Season 8 works so well is because, possibly more than any other season, this one relies on the ensemble to react as a whole to certain events as opposed to splitting everyone off into little subplots. Go to Full Review Brian Zoromski IGN Movies 06/27/2018
8/10
Friends fans always loved Joey, but this season finally made him a real human being with feelings. Go to Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine 06/26/2018
The familiarity factor can't be discounted, but give Friends more credit: It's reliably amusing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Put it on in the background, or just to get a laugh in from chandler’s quick wit or joeys iconic moments. All the characters are absolutely incredible and so is the show.

Everyone in the gang slowly finds out, the father being the last. They all want to watch the duo's s*x tape. No one wants to date a pregnant Rachel and she feels out of the game. Ursula tries to marry Eric but Phoebe breaks them apart for good and then tries to date him. The loving wife, Monica, arrangers a hooker for Chandler's bachelor party. Joey's sister is pregnant and then never gets mentioned again. Ross and Mona decide to take a step forward and three back. Joey starts falling for Rachel because that is what happens within this group. Monica is not as neat as she pretends to be. Everyone is traumatized watching the birthing video. Joey confesses. Everyone hates the hyper Parker. Joey almost loses his role on Days of Our Lives because of another interview. Rachel gets a baby shower. Rachel is really, really un-dilated. Joey accidentally proposes to her and she says yes this time. She also steals Monica's baby's name. See more André F @andre_f 09/13/2024 No geral, a temporada é muito boa, mas o final é péssimo.
