The Holidays are Always Better with FRIENDS and Family -- Give the Gift of FRIENDS: The Complete Series on 4K Ultra HD -- Includes New Bonus Content! (Review) #FRIENDS

Disclosure: I was sent a screener from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.


FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE SERIES

COMES TO 4K ULTRA HD FOR THE FIRST TIME

 

This Ultimate Collector’s Set Features All 10 Seasons from One of Television’s Most Popular Sitcoms Completely Remastered – Plus All New Bonus Content!


I still can't believe we lost Matthew Perry last year.  It still feels like a bad dream, and one I wish we could all wake up from, as he truly was a beacon of light and one who could make you laugh and pick your spirits up, every time you sat down to watch him play Chandler on this hit series, Friends.  I will not like, I first started watching the series because of him, and then slowly fell in love with the other cast members.  But, he always had me laughing until I was tearing up, and even to this day, I will stop flipping through the channels when I come upon a Friends episode, or even a movie he starred in, as I know he will make me smile.


Over the years, I have bought and collected the individual complete season releases of Friends, but always hoped that a box set would release so that I could display with my favorite Friends memorabilia.  Finally the wait is over, and now I have the Friends: The Complete Series on 4K Ultra HD -- all ten seasons -- to display and not worry I will ruin by watching over and over again or scratching a disc. Even if you already own all the seasons, this new box set offers a completed remastered version of the series, as well as new bonus content not to be missed.

"As FRIENDS marks its 30th anniversary this year, the beloved TV series continues to hold an enduring place in popular culture and hearts worldwide. With its witty humor, relatable characters, and memorable catchphrases, FRIENDS transcends generations with its universal appeal, making it a classic that continues to bring joy and laughter to fans around the world."

Can you believe that this year marks the 30th anniversary of Friends?  First, boy do I feel old, and "Wow" it is crazy that it is still as popular as it was when it first aired back in September of 1994.  Each new generation stumbles upon this iconic series and falls in love with it, and new merchandise and memorabilia keeps coming out and selling out.  Just the other day I grabbed a new 2025 Friends calendar for the new year, right after I bought a Friends advent calendar to have fun counting down the days until Christmas with my girls.  Friends is one of those shows that will never go out of style, and one they don't need to come back and do a reboot or special movie, as we have so many great episodes that spanned ten seasons to enjoy time and again, without ever getting bored of them.  And, now with the passing of Matthew Perry, each time we sit and watch and episode or two, we can't help but remember what an amazing actor and person he was and how he will be forever missed.

If you are looking for the perfect gift to gift yourself or that special someone in you life that can't get enough of Friends, I highly recommend you pick up the Friends: The Complete Series box set, available now on 4K Ultra HD. And, make sure you watch all the extra bonus content -- 2 hours to be exact, of all new bonus content.
