Amazon.co.uk Review
Seemingly low-key but as wittily crafted as the first two series, this season develops minor characters--Gunther, Central Perk's proprietor, who is in love with Rachel; Phoebe's half-brother Frank (played by rising-star Giovanni Ribisi); the chick and duck--who will play key parts later on while the foundations for crucial story lines developed in Series 4 are laid down. The most momentous story arc covers Rachel and Ross splitting up when she suggests they take a "break" and he sleeps with the girl from the copy shop. Phoebe gets to know her little brother Frank who falls in love with the much-older Alice, for whom Phoebe will bear triplets in a later series. Monica pines after Richard and then starts dating the millionaire Pete, although towards the end Chandler is trying to persuade her he's good boyfriend material--clearly an omen of things to come. --Leslie Felperin

They'll always be there for you December 28, 2007
The newest and final addition to my Friends collection (not quite sure how I ended up purchasing this one last). I haven't seen some of these episodes for years but they still had me in tears of laughter. How can anyone not find episodes such as the Princess Leia fantasy hilarious? And the episodes when Ross and Rachel ARE ON A BREAK (!) absolutely heartbreaking. Another absolutely brilliant series from the show that just kept getting better and better.
EMOTIONAL YET HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! October 6, 2007
This series takes the six friends through they lowest points. With problems for Ross and Rachel, Chandler and Janice, Monica and Richard. This series brings a tear to your eyes. However, the jokes are still hilarious. This series if the best one it is a MUST BUY FOR THE WHOLE FSMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God the writers weren't!
I'm not a big fan of 'cute' sitcoms overflowing with 'cute' people, but Friends just wipes me out. It's so much more than just a gang of attractive people going through contrived situations, spouting contrived lines. The writing, acting, direction are all of the highest quality, and that's why it was so popular, year after year after year. It was no promotion stunt that saw each of the stars on $1m an episode by the final season! It's unusual to find a show with 6 lead characters in which all 6 can actually take the lead. Usually, one or two of the characters are head and shoulders above the others, so everything has to revolve around them and when things don't, the show falls flat. Friends really bucks that rule. The dialogue is so sharp and the characters so well drawn that virtually any show, involving any storyline, around any character is a knockout success. Season 3 is one of my favourites. It's both touching and funny how Ross and Rachel finally get it together in season 2 after making viewers wait so long. And that's only the start - without spoiling anything, things don't exactly run smoothly in season 3. 'The' argument is one of my favourite episodes. Absolutely hilarious. So much so, it spawned a long running catchphrase. If you've never watched Friends, you missed out on some of the best TV of the last decade. And I'm so jealous - I wish I could experience it all for the first time again!
 some great episodes and some slow-moving ones too April 13, 2007
There were a lot of episodes of series 3 that I found a little slow going and even tedious.But this series also contains some of my favourite episodes of Friends:the episodes with Chandler's girlfriend Janice,Phoebe's brother who likes to melt things,and the episode where Rachel finds out about Ross cheating on her - an episode that shows how good the writers of Friends can be at mixing the serious with the funny,and one in which Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer give acting performances of a standard you'd expect to see in a highly acclaimed play on Broadway.
We Were On A Break! July 10, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This third season of Friends brings about the birth of probably the biggest line in Friends history hence the "We were on a break!" title. Once again the Ross and Rachel relationship is at the forefront of this series after Rachel gets a dream job at Bloomingdales and has less and less time to spend with him, Ross ends up thinking Rachel is having an affair with a co-worker and proceeds to cause problems by sending her presents and even a barber shop quartet at her works! This then brings Rachel to ask Ross in the heat of an argument if they can have a break in their relationship to then regret saying it. Ross then sleeps with another woman only for Rachel to find out even though they had got back together. Ross thinks that he's done nothing wrong as they were on a break but Rachel disagrees and finishes the relationship! Ross and Rachels damaged friendship is an integral part of a lot of the episodes.
We also have Monica having a relationship with millionaire Pete Becker until he decides to be the ultimate fighting champion and Chandler dating Janice AGAIN even though he's spent forever trying to get rid of her, finding he does after all really like her, only for her to get back with her husband she's separated from known as the mattress king!
Again, there are a number of great cameos from some famous celebrities. These include Courtney Cox's real-life husband David Arquette who appears as a stalker of Pheobe's twin sister Ursula but ends up stalking Pheobe instead believing her to be Ursula, Ben Stiller who is a date of Rachel's one night and unbeknown to her has a bit of a screw loose and shouts at random people for no reason, Isabella Rossellini who appears as one of Ross's chosen people who he's allowed to have sex with if her ever gets the chance even though he's going out with Rachel and Robin Williams and Billy Crystal who make brief appearances in the coffee house.
Once again, another great series of Friends.
