Compared are the TV Version and the Extended Version


11 differences, incl. 3x alternate footage
Length difference: 59.6 sec



New season, old problem: Any Blu-ray release worldwide only contains the TV Version of every single episode while, for instance, the US and UK DVDs contain the Extended Versions.

Episode 4x22 (The One with the Worst Best Man Ever) is approx. one minute longer. Basically, every main character gets their additional moments. And once again, there is an additional end credits scene. Only this time, the scene from the TV Version has not simply been added at the very end, no. Here, the scene from the TV Version is entirely missing for a change. As a result, the TV Version (Blu-ray) contains a further scene with Chandler's and Joey's rather unusual pet. The Extended Version on the other hand contains a scene with Monica and Ross. She points out he gave their grandmother's wedding ring to Emily.
