Season chronology | |
The second season of Friends, an American situation comedy created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, premiered on NBC on September 21, 1995. Friends was produced by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television. The season contains 24 episodes and concluded airing on May 16, 1996. TV Guide placed the season 31st on their list of television's 100 all-time greatest seasons, being one of the series's three on the list.
Season synopsis
Unlike the Brady Bunch-esuqe first season, this season features more serialized storylines; it begins when Rachel discovers that Ross "dumped" her for Julie, a woman he knew from grad school. Julie returns for several episodes early in the season. Rachel's attempts to tell Ross she likes him mirror his own failed attempts in the first season, but she accidentally lets it slip out on a phone call. When Ross finds out, he dumps Julie, but Rachel is angry because of a list of bad things that he wrote about her to help him decide between the two of them. Eventually, a prom video reveals that Ross intended to take Rachel to the prom when her date was late. This makes Rachel forgive him and they begin a relationship that lasts into the following season.
Joey, a struggling actor in the first season, gets a part in a fictionalized version of the soap opera Days of Our Lives but loses the part soon after when he angers the writers by saying in an interview that he writes many of his own lines. Tom Selleck begins a recurring guest role as Dr. Richard Burke. Richard, a friend of Monica and Ross's parents who is recently divorced and with grown children, is 21 years older than Monica but despite this they date for the second half of the season. In the season finale, they end the relationship when they realize that he does not want any more children and she does.
The second season also served to deepen Chandler and Joey's friendship. This becomes especially apparent in the episodes in which Joey temporarily moves out and a man named Eddie Menuek moves in. Chandler is disgusted that Eddie does not like what he likes, and has trouble bonding with the him, so he allows Joey to move in and pretends that Eddie never lived there. Eddie's mental illness causes him to believe that he really has never met Chandler when Chandler insists this is the case and leaves him alone. Another surprise comes when Chandler falls in love with a woman over the Internet and when he goes to meet her at Central Perk, when Janice his ex walks in. Despite this, they decide to get back together, for real this time.
This is the only season (excluding the final season) of the entire series in which the season finale does not lead to the immediate beginning of the first episode of the following season.
