Compared are the TV Version and the Extended Version


10 differences, incl. 6x alternate footage
Length difference: 95.2 sec (= 1:35 min)



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 4x05 (The One with Joey’s New Girlfriend) contains several additional scenes. All in all, the Extended Version is approx. 1.5 minutes longer. Here, Chandler has a crush on Joey's girlfriend resulting in some additional scenes dealing with that issue.

The Extended Version starts with a distance shot at the Central Perk: Joey is doing a crossword puzzle.

In the TV Version, the subsequent shot of Ross starts insignificantly earlier (no screenshots).

Subsequent to Chandler's toilet story, the scene is much longer actually.

Monica: "What movie did you get?"
Joey: "I got what I always get, Die Hard."
They react rather condescending but Kathy says: "See, that's what I like about Joey. Any other guy would have been 'Yeah, The English Patient is my favorite movie too.' But Joey goes, 'No way. Let's get Die Hard! I'm not watching that English crap.'"
Monica: "Yeah, he's dreamy."
Being so close to Kathy on the couch, Chandler appears to feel a little uncomfortable: "I gotta go. I gotta go meet some friends."
