Comparison between the TV Version and the Extended Version.


8 differences, among of them 3 with alternate footage
Length difference: 56.8 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 3x18 (The One With the Hypnosis Tape) is almost one minute longer. Especially Chandler's throwing the key in a rather gay way is memorable. Joey's mishap at the end is good for a laugh as well.

Rachel looks annoyed.

Joey: "Oh."

Joey: "Yeah, uh, all right Ross, if you had a million dollars what's the first thing you'd buy?"
Ross: "I'd probably get some municipal bonds, and then put the rest in the bank, and live off the interest."
Joey responds cynical: "Well....we've heard from Dr. Fun."

Alternate take when Chandler jumps up because someone is at the door.
