Comparison between the TV Version and the Extended Version.


10 differences, among of them 4 with alternate footage
Length difference: 56.7 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 3x04 (The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel) contains approx. 1 minute of new footage. Especially Rachel and Monica have more screentime. All in all, nothing worth mentioning though.

We see Joey with a fake mustache on TV. He desperately attempts to sew something together.
A narrator says: "How many times has this happened to you?"
