Friends' penultimate season could well be called "The One with All the Romantic Arcs." Phoebe meets Mike (Paul Rudd virtually joining the ensemble). Rachel attempts to "move on" from Ross with a rival co-worker (guest star Dermot Mulroney). Ross meets Charley (Aisha Taylor, welcome colorblind casting), a paleontologist with an intimidating roster of Nobel Prize-winners in her dating history (so, of course, she hooks up with Joey). Other storylines, including Chandler's transfer to Tulsa and Rachel's sudden lust for Joey, are not as compelling as previous seasons', and an indication that inspiration is flagging. But while one is hard-pressed to add any of these episodes to the Friends pantheon, what redeems the season are the grace notes: Phoebe channeling a New England WASP to impress Mike's parents ("The One with Ross's Inappropriate Song") or playing naughty girl to Ross's "daddy" ("The One with the Lottery"); Joey's confession that he doesn't get it when people punctuate the air with finger quotes ("The One Where Emma Cries"); and Chandler's discomfort (and ultimate revenge) as an audience member at a ranting feminist's one-woman show ("The One with the Soap Opera Party").

Friends: A must have DVD

Friends is the by-far the best comedy show ever. They have the best charcacters and I spend hours and hours watching the show. The ninth season was so incredible and soooooooo funny. some of the first episodes I saw were from the ninth season and I became totally hooked. All of my friends and I love the show and we quote it all the time because we love it so much, especially the ninth season. This is one of the best seasons of one of the best shows. If you dont own this season, or any of the seasons you shoud buy it right now. It will have you laughing for hours! This is truly a must have Tv show on DVD.

9th Season a Must Own

I own all 9 seasons of Friends, and think the show is fantastic. However, agreeing with everyone else, at the end of the series, it starts getting a little lackluster. From the beginning of season 1 with 6 people in their 20s, all single and full of life to the end of season 9 with the same 6 people in their 30s, 2 of them married, 2 of them with a child, the show just starts to lose its liveliness. However thats not to say that season 9 doesnt have its funny parts. Not the best of all the seasons, but still a must own. I recommend this to everyone.

quick question. anyone know when season 10 comes out

One of the best season so far

This season is very funny but it is what I believe the longest season of "Friends" (620 minutes). Here are the episodes of the ninth season of "Friends":

9.01 The One Where No One Proposes
9.02 The One Where Emma Cries
9.03 The One With the Pediatrician
9.04 The One With the Sharks
9.05 The One With Phoebe's Birthday Dinner
9.06 The One With the Male Nanny
9.07 The One With Ross's Inappropriate Song
9.08 The One With Rachel's Other Sister
9.09 The One With Rachel's Phone Number
9.10 The One With Christmas in Tulsa
9.11 The One Where Rachel Goes Back To Work
9.12 The One With Phoebe's Rats
9.13 The One Where Monica Sings
9.14 The One With The Blind Dates
9.15 The One With The Mugging
9.16 The One With The Boob Job
9.17 The One With The Memorial Service
9.18 The One With The Lottery
9.19 The One With Rachel's Dream
9.20 The One With The Soap Opera Party
9.21 The One With The Fertility Test
9.22 The One With The Donor
*9.23 The One In Barbados, part 1
*9.24 The One In Barbados, part 2

*(9.23 and 9.24 are combined together in one episode with a approximate 1 hour long season finale.)

My favorite episode is the last one in this season which is 9.23 and 9.24 (which are combined together in one episode) because it is funny especially the scene of the sunny-rain of the speech to beach. Also, the scene of the ping-pong game is funny. And Finally, the final scene about the kissing is very touching. However, other episodes are also funny. Like 9.15, it is pretty good because Joey has an audition for a boardway play which he uses a special techinque to make those people (including the "Lost World" guest star) impressed.

Overall, this season is one of best season so far. All the episodes are good. Worth to watch it and worth buying. Recommended to everyone. :)
