As previously reported, Friends on Blu-ray is presented in an expanded 1.78:1 aspect ratio and has been modified from its original 1.33:1 format. In most cases, the main difference is more empty space on the sides (just look at the screen caps), and I'd imagine that the reason for this decision is that, at the very least, fans would be getting something a little different. As for the image quality itself, Friends looks good but not great in high definition, with inconsistent colors and grain levels......but hey, at least it wasn't shot on video, right? For the most part, what we get represents a passable and relatively pleasing image (especially compared to the original DVD release), though not without a few color inconsistencies and other minor distractions. Overall: nothing to write home about, but also nothing to lose sleep over.

More so-so news on the audio front: it's presented in lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 (a very modest upgrade from the DVD's 5.0); not surprising, as Warner Bros. typically avoids lossless audio on catalog TV collections. The dialogue is still clear and easy to understand, but the music cues still don't have much in the way of dynamic range. Though less space devoted to audio means better picture quality and more episodes per disc, it's hard to say if the sacrifice was really worth it. Optional 2.0 dubs have been provided in Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, as well as nearly a dozen subtitle options (including English SDH).

Seen above, this two-disc release is housed in a standard keepcase with a matching slipcover and an Ultraviolet Digital Copy redemption code. The menu is easy to navigate, much like the original DVDs...and hey, at least we get chapter breaks this time. Remember when those counted as "Bonus Features"?

Like most sophomore seasons, this second year of Friends seems a bit more comfortable in its own skin. Among other modest improvements, the performances are more natural and the direction is stronger (but in all honesty, the first season set a solid template). Warners' Blu-ray collection continues its dissection of the Complete Series boxed set, which serves up superior image quality, a widened aspect ratio, the shorter broadcast versions of most episodes and...well, that's pretty much it. Recommended if you're going the season-by-season route, but there's nothing here that hasn't been made available already.
