- Difference: 122.6 sec



As usual, almost any newer episode of Family Guy has been released as uncensored and extended version on DVD. The latest season 10 has just started to air in the US (September 2011) but the last episode released on DVD is episode "8.08". It's available on "Volume 8" and was released in June 2010. Since then, no further box has been released or even announced so far for some reason. But the English people know what they're doing. While the UK counterpart was always released a couple of months after the box set in the US (the UK Season 9 equal to the US Vol. 8 was released 5 months later), the next UK box is already available. "Season 10" contains the episodes "8.09" until "8.19", the episode Partial Terms of Endearment, which got banned from TV in the US, plus the first 3 episodes of season 9 and it was released in May 2011.

The fourth episode of the box, 8x12 ("Extra Large Medium"), is different in some parts to the TV version. It seems that those are mostly story shortenings, but in one case it's probably a censorship alteration. In this episode Chris falls in love with a girl who's got the Down's syndrome and during a musical performance by Stewie, who wants to encourage him, there's a much nastier gag about the girl on the DVD. Also remarkable in this context is one of the two bleepings at the end: "assholes" couldn't be heard in the TV version but it's comparatively harmless when you think of some other much more offending words.
Moreover one of the cutaways is placed at a different point in the episode caused by the story extensions in the DVD version, which is quite unusual for the episodes.

In an additional scene you can see Lois worrying about the kids while Peter is interested in something else.

Lois talks to a ranger: "Please, you gotta help us. They've been lost for hours. For God's sake, Stewie's only a baby."
Ranger: "A search party is being organized as we speak but at the moment, I'm the only one on duty."
Lois: "Oh, my God."
Peter: "So, uh, you're the only one working these woods, huh?"
Ranger: "Yes."
Peter: "So there's no other guys like you here?"
Ranger: "Nope. It's just me."
Peter: "And what would be another way for you to say that?"
Ranger: "I'm by myself."
Peter: "Maybe a more specific way."
Ranger: "I'm the lone ranger."
That's what Peter wanted to hear: "Yeah, you said it!"
He laughs and wants more: "Your name wouldn't be Rick, would it?"
Ranger: "No, it isn't."
Peter: "It's too much to ask, too much to ask."

Chris says in a new animation: "I'm so hungry."
Thereupon he imagines Stewie to be a chicken drumstick.

In the TV version Brian says: "Well, I just think you're being taken for a ride, Lois. Like a snail on the back of a turtle."
A corresponding cutaway follows, the snail says angrily: "Slow down! I want to get there, but I want to get there alive!"

In the DVD version Brian says: "I think you're being sold a bill of goods."
Lois ripostes: "Brian, I don't care what you think. And for your information there are gonna be some changes around here."

From here the lyrics of Stewie's song differ but with roughly the same footage (just the mouth movements were adapted here and there).


TV version:

"And her smile is like the sweetest summer flower
Her kiss is so inviting
And her hugs are so delighting
And what makes them really nice
Is that they've got a little spice..."


DVD version

"And they seem to say: We'll open just for Chris
They shine like sunny weather
And they're close enough together
That if they should so desire
To create a little fire..."

The footage at the end of the scene is different.

In the TV version Stewie lands in the lowest shelf and goes on:
"Because they're tighter than a vice
And they go on for an hour."
Meanwhile you can see Ellen squeezing a teddy bear so tight, that the head flies away.

In the DVD version Stewie stands one shelf higher:
"They could reach across her nose
And give each other a kiss."
And that's exactly what they do then.

After the musical scene follows a new part in the DVD version, in which the turtle/snail cutaway is shown at the end (fitting better in this context).

Brian, wearing a muzzle, comes to Lois: "What the hell? Lois, did you put this muzzle on me while I was sleeping?"
Lois: "Sorry. My psychic warned me you were gonna bite somebody. I didn't wanna see that happen."
Brian: "That's it. This psychic nonsense has gone way too far."
Lois: "What do you mean, 'nonsense'?"
Brian: "Lois, there is no such thing as a person who is psychic. It's tempting to wanna believe in something that brings you comfort. The reality is you're being totally naive."
Lois: "Of course you don't believe in psychics. Your cynicism prevents you from ever being in a receptive state."
Brian takes the newspaper: "I'll prove what I'm saying. Let me read you your horoscope. 'You have a very strong emotional nature. You are riding the crest of a wave of good energy today and ought to be able to get your friends to see how things ought to be. You're on the ball and you know it.'"
Lois sees herself confirmed: "There you go. You just proved my point. That's 100 percent accurate."
Brian's upset: "Oh, yeah? You're a Sagittarius and I was reading Capricorn. And that last sentence was a panel from Doonesbury."
Peter says: "I hate that strip. Nothing funny about pictures of the Capitol building and all that writing."
Lois: "What's your point?"
Brian: "I'll tell you what. Meet me at the park later and I'll show you. And you'll see you're being taken for a ride. Like a snail on the back of a turtle."
The before mentioned cutaway follows: "Slow down! I wanna get there, but I wanna get there alive!"

Due to continuity reasons some sentences are different when Lois is sitting next to Brain in the park in the next scene. In the TV version it's explained a little bit more which wasn't necessary in the DVD version.


TV version

Lois: "Now, what is it you want?"
Brian: "All right, look, Lois, this psychic nonsense has gone too far, so I'm going to prove to you that there is no such thing as someone who is psychic, and that with the most minimal training (and the right set of buzzwords...)"


DVD version

Lois: "Show me whatever it is you wanna show me."
Brian: "I'm gonna prove that with minimal training (and the right set of buzzwords...)"

Chris' conclusion was bleeped in the TV version (and seems worse if you compare it to way worse insults): "You're just a bunch of assholes like everyone else."
