Description of Friends - The Complete Fourth Season:
Friends' fourth season, one of the very best and most consistently satisfying, begins with Chandler urinating on Monica's leg to relieve a jellyfish sting. It ends with the two in bed and in lust. In between are several benchmark episodes and rich, character-enriching plot developments that keep this series from coasting on comfort level. Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) agrees to become a surrogate mother for her long-lost brother (Giovanni Ribisi). Chandler (Matthew Perry) "crosses the line" after falling in love with Joey's girlfriend, and is forced to spend one memorable Thanksgiving in a box. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston in what should have been her Emmy year) desperately pursues the recently divorced Joshua (then real-life squeeze Tate Donovan). Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Chandler trade spaces with Monica (Courtney Cox) and Rachel, and then, with provocative (albeit offscreen) sapphic compensation, return to their humble abode. And Ross meets the warm and wonderful Emily (Helen Baxendale), setting the stage for a London wedding and classic season finale that revitalizes our rooting interest in the whole Ross and Rachel thing. Especially jolly good in this two-parter are the scene-stealing British character actors, including Hugh Laurie as the unfortunate airline passenger seated next to Rachel as she wings toward London to tell Ross she loves him ("And by the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break," he tries to reason with her), and Tom Conti and an absolutely fabulous Jennifer Saunders as Emily's squabbling parents. As Friends winds down, it is a pleasure to return to one of its glory years. --Donald Liebenson
Friends - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
"It's like they are literally putting all their eggs in my basket..." 
2008-08-22 - Friends - The Complete Fourth Season is my favorite and the best season! I just can't get enough of season 4, even Courteney Cox said her favorite season is this one right here! Every episode is so good and that's not an easy task to achieve, the writers were truly gifted. Ross and Rachel finally decide NOT to get back together, Ross moves on to bossy brit Emily who decides to marry her in London in the hilarious season finale. Phoebe is asked by her half brother if she would be the surrogate to his and his wife's babies. Lisa Kudrow won an Emmy this season and rightly so. Also in this season there's a love triangle between Joey, Chandler, and Kathy. Rachel and Monica want the boys to get rid of the chick and duck and they want their apartment. I love, love, love this show. I HIGHLY recommend it!!
I love it!
2008-07-31 - If you are a lover of friends this is great to add to your collection.
Still one of the best
2008-05-25 - Though Friends is admittedly getting a bit dated, in watching through the seasons once again, I am reminded of just why I loved this show so much. The brilliant writing, the chemistry and comedic talents of the actors, and the outrageous and irresistible characters add up to such an enjoyable viewing experience.
Season four is notable for the continuation of the Ross and Rachel saga, which ultimately culminates in Ross's marrying Emily but saying Rachel's names during his vows. The season serves to show how out of sync Rachel and Ross are and how really deluded they can be when they each try to convince themselves that they no longer feel anything for the other.
The gem of this season, though, is Phoebe becoming a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife. This means that we get to see more of Giovanni Ribisi as her hilarious brother and it is the season that had quite possibly one of the funniest lines in television, in which Frank Jr. exults in the news that his sister is pregnant with his baby. It also provides fodder for some very funny pregnancy gags, such as watching Rachel and Monica's well-intentioned shower for Phoebe go horribly awry.
This season also grants us some conflict between Joey and Chandler and especially helps to develop Chandler's character a bit further. When Chandler crosses the line with Joey's girlfriend Kathy, we see just how angry Joey can be--and also how generous and concerned for his friend's happiness. It's never been a secret that Chandler is afraid of commitment but his relationship with Kathy shows just how neurotic Chandler can be.
Perhaps best of all, this season really ends with a bang when Monica and Chandler finally get together. There had been hints throughout the series up to that point but the revelation that the two of them slept together is still a big surprise.
Can't get enough of Friends 
2008-01-02 - The first set of Friends DVDs we received were not Friends...who knows what they were packaged in Friends packaging and on Friends DVDs. Amazon quickly replaced the DVDs, and we now have the correct ones to enjoy.
Friends season 4
2007-09-30 - One of the best seasons. The episode with the bet on the apartment ("The one with the embryos") is one of the funniest ever. Friends set a new standard for tv-comedy.
