Comparison between the TV Version and the Extended Version.


7 differences, among of them 1 with alternate footage
Length difference: 22.6 sec



All Blu-ray releases of this cult series unfortunately only contain the TV-Version of all of the episodes. Viewers who already know the Extended Versions from the DVD boxes will miss the additional footage.

Episode 3x08 (The One with the Giant Poking Device) contains almost half a minute of additional footage. As expected, there is nothing spectacular among it but more Chandler is never wrong. The altered nudity shot at the end is hinky, no doubt. But then again, it looks too harmless to be considered censorship plus it is rather long in the TV Version as well.
