I honestly can't see the "Friends" crowd interested in a Blu-Ray version of the show.

silversnake · 09-27-2008, 07:01 PM

I have all the dvds right now , i really can't see myself selling all of my dvds and than buying it back on blu-ray unless it's really, really worth it. In which case i'd have to do the same thing with Seinfeld.

I'm in the "Friends" crowd and I'm VERY interested in this.

_Bolt_ · 09-27-2008, 07:47 PM

For $30 a season, ill be picking them all up

Tony Stark · 09-27-2008, 11:46 PM

Yes! I love Friends.. Will buy / double dip all seasons because my wife love to watch it on DVD. Am slowly replacing my dvd collection and Friends DVD will be gone

Awesome news! I can see myself have friends over for friends marathon all day on blu-ray

I never really gave this show a chance....I just dont like this kind of comedy.

I always wondered...How can they be in new york and you never see any black people on the show...no offense...Just wondered

Galley · 09-28-2008, 12:07 AM

I'd be interested in a Complete Series box set for $200. What, too low a price?

They answered that question by having Aisha Tyler on the show for several episodes!

If they released King of Queens I would def. buy it and probably also everybody loves raymond because they are played on the hd channels and were meant to be that way.

with movies its different i dont mind the blackbars but for a tv shows its kind of strange

Unfortunately, the only "HD" channel I know of that plays "The King Of Queens" reruns are TBS, and they don't air them in HD... they just stretch them and upconvert them (at least all the episodes I've seen). They do air "Everybody Loves Raymond" in HD some, but both shows didn't start in HD, as the first few seasons of ELR was shot in 4x3... as was TKOQ.

That being said, I have all of "Friends" on DVD (well, I'm still missing the 10th season), and I just don't think I care enough to double-dip on Blu-ray. Maybe eventually, but I just don't see it happening Day & Date.

Every show that comes to Blu-ray grows the market. A successful show like Friends will attract new Blu-ray owners.

DigitalfreakNYC · 09-28-2008, 01:03 AM

how did they do the show? i'm assuming it was filmed?

No, it was magically beamed via telepathy...

That would be the first time Friends would be associated with brain power.

Cordre69 · 09-28-2008, 04:03 AM

I don't believe the show was done in widescreen...
I have all the DVDs and would totally buy the BR set if it was made available and was a better quality!

I love 'Friends'. So this would certainly be a buy for me.

Victor Wright · 09-28-2008, 03:01 AM

Can't say that I love Friends (have them all on DVD, and that's good enough), but I do hope they release them on BR and that they do well, if only for the fact that it may prompt them to release The West Wing next!

First of all, there were black people on the show from time to time. Joey and Ross both dated black girls, two in fact (they both dated both the girls.) One played by Gabriel Union and the other played by Aiesha Taylor. Second, not everyone makes it a point to have friends from every ethnic group on earth. The show was about a group a friends who lived in New York. Most of the story took place in doors, like the coffee shop or inside the apartments. While I don't live in New York I don't exactly see black people or Hispanics or every race of people everywhere I go.

I would snap that up in a heartbeat.. Same with the complete seasons of the Soprano's.
