Compared are the TV Version and the Extended Version


5 differences, incl. 1x alternate footage
Length difference: 31.6 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 4x13 (The One with Rachel’s Crush) is approx. half a minute longer. A few smaller cuts here and there, especially Chandler causes a few more laughs due to the additional footage.

While the opening of the TV Version contains new footage, the opening in the Extended Version is still the same.

This changes with the next episode though.

In the TV Version, both the previous shot of Chandler and the subsequent one of Joey are slightly longer (no screenshots).

Chandler: "The bartender taught me a trick though."
