I was watching the season 6 commentary on disk 2 & they mentioned putting a blooper from "TOW Ross Got High" on the gag real that "MAY" be released to us at a later date. Did the blooper episode w/ Conan air after season 6 (I can't remember) and did it include the blooper from when Rachael made the trifle. They stated it was probably the funniest blooper/laugh they had on the show. I can't seem to recall it on any blooper scenes.

It would be completely awesome if they did put out a DVD that had nothing but 2 hours of bloopers & then all kinds of behind the scenes, interviews & pretty much everything we wish was added on the seasons DVDs as extras. I would totally pay $30 for that. I am a complete EXTRAS junkie though so that might have something to do with it.

Oh I did want to add one more comment.... So far watching the commentaries I have to say I am pretty disappointed. I expected them to be a bit more upbeat & humorous & with a bit more behind the scenes info. I still watch them but I am always left a bit disappointed after expecting to have gotten more out of it than I had. I have only seen a few of them so far. How do the rest of you feel about the commentary on the DVDs? Personally I would find it much more interesting (& probably more humorous) if it was members of the cast doing the commentary.

The Conan special aired right after 715: TOW Joey's New Brain. It's the one where Ross is playing the bagpipes, and at the end, Phoebe is singing along with it. I believe they showed a blooper scene at the end of the episode, instead of a regular scene, as they went into the Conan special.

I am always left unsatisfied by the miniscule set of bloopers that appear on TV Series DVDs - when they appear at all, which is about 1/3rd of the time. i would love to see 2hrs of blooopers on one show. You know they have 'em around, why are they so stingy with them?

But it's not just "Friends", it's every show I have DVDs on.

Again, it's not just "Friends". I have gotten to the point on all the TV shows I have on DVD where I just skip the commentaries. With few exceptions, they are done by full-of-them-selves writers or producers who love pointing out the super-obvious and bask in the glow of their long developed plans for this or that character, or else they are cast members who can barely stop poking fun at hair-styles and other quirks and snickering at each other long enough to actually give an interesting piece of info or two.

Joss Whedon on BtVS, JMS on B5 - these are about the only commentaries I find worth listening to.

I've listened to the BKC commentaries on seasons 1 and 2 and, assuming I was able to stomach all of them, by the end of season 2 I was sticking my finger down my throat. As a matter of fact, that's one reason why I have not bought any more seasons in the Friends collection. Just 1 and 2.

I've watched all of the episodes with commentary and I have also found them to be pretty disappointing. The special features on the discs are pretty lame too. I wish they had included the Conan O'Brian blooper episode on the season 7 DVD. It was a shame that they didn't. I hope they include the "I'll be there for you" music video with one of the seasons.
