Season two of "Friends" continues the excellent sitcom. The main thing is Ross and Rachael, which is the romantic subplot that runs throughout the series. At the end of season 1 Rachael  found out that Ross has a thing for her. She goes to the airport when he returns from China and then he comes out with a girlfriend!

The first part of Season 2 is Rachael is now the one pining for Ross and Ross is happy with Julie. But eventually he finds out when one night Rachael leaves a drunken phone call on Ross' machine. So now Ross leaves Julie but before he and Rachael can get going she finds out about his list of Rachael's pros and cons.

Another two or three episodes of Rachael being mad at Ross until the episode with the high school prom video, when Ross does something so endearing that Rachael falls in love with him all over again. The rest of the season Ross and Rachael are a couple and the rest of the cast gets more screen time.
In this season Monica starts dating her dentist Richard (played by Tom Selleck) who is 20 years older than her. Phoebe finds out that her biological dad is alive and when she goes to meet him he's gone but she meets her brother Frank (played by Giovanni Ribisi). Other guest stars included Julia Roberts as Chandler's childhood victim, Charlie Sheen as Phoebe's submarine guy, Chrissie Hynde as Phoebe's replacement at Central Perk, Brooke Shields as Joey's stalker, and Jean-Claude Van Damme as himself..

Once again the DVDs have like no special features. There are two episode commentaries by the creators of "Friends". There is a tour of Monica and Rachael's apartment, a quiz, and some video montages from episode clips. Nothing very interesting.
