Bloopers

What is all this about a bloopers show? I would really like to see it and will it be shown in the uk?

It was used to fill a 40-minute episode of "Friends" out to the hour.

The same thing will probably happen here, with fillers for the other three.

Eric Assen seems to think that it won't come out anywhere else... and the only plave to read it is there at his site...

and

three.

With due respect to Eric, what does he know about the various rights to "Friends" which Channel Four has bought for E4? They are bound to show the 40-minute episodes in full, so they need filler material.

Not necessarily. Stuff that goes into syndication aften gets a lot chopped out (often arbitrarily and to the show's detriment -- like in TOW All the Poker). Also, I suspect that the 40-minute, so-called "Super-Sized" shows actually aren't all that long; I think they've been mostly padded with more commercials.

You are talking about American syndication. That doesn't happen here, although reruns sometimes have minor cuts for content when shown much earlier in the evening, for example "the bastard" at the end of 301.

In Britain, the amount of commercials is limited by law, so cutting a show merely reduces the number of viewers and therefore revenue. When the 35-minute pilot is shown here, it's padded out to an hour, not cut.

You must remember that in Europe, "Friends" is something special, it's not just another TV programme. Other American shows trail far behind.

And I do know that a 40-minute show isn't that long, 30-minute shows aren't that long either. To any Brits who time it, please remember that with PAL the show runs about 4% faster compared with NTSC.

yeah I've noticed that, especially when the characters are moving fast, they seem to do it really fast, I reckon they'll show the bloopers show as they showed the behind the scenes show.

Does anyone know the name of the song that Monica was dancing to during the blooper section. I think it is the some one as on a Bill Irwin tape, "In Regard of Flight." Thanks in advance.

Shake your Groove thing by peaches and herb. I have the song on the Drew Carey Show soundtrack, actually. Hope this helps.

IS that 40 minutes of show, or just a 40 minute timeslot, meaning barely more than 30 of action?

In article , Paul Hyett wrote:

Timeslot of course, but having done some timings, it seems that E4 could fit it in a 30 minute slot if the show began seconds after 9pm, had one short break, and finished just before 9:30. They would then have to pile the other adverts into breaks before & after the slot.

This is bad news for anyone hoping to see the bloopers, especially as some of them are very funny (my favourite is the one in the fort), but I reckon E4 won't squash the episodes down, but stretch them out and make a big thing of it.

See my new review of S7-13 for a proper analysis.

I'll skip that for now to avoid spoilers.

I know I said that I don't mind them, but I don't actively seek them out either.

How is this all for The Netherlands????? If anyone has an idea I'd really like to hear it. And if it isn't broadcasted here (which won't be a big surprise because they are not even showing season seven yet!!!) does anyone has any ideas if they're gonna be on the season 7 DVD? Coz I'm gonna buy that anyway... Last question: will the season 7 DVD be more expensive because of the 40 minutes eppys? Love Lenneke PS. You can also send me the email with your answer if you'd like that better.... My adress is [email] !!

Are the bloopers only shown in the US networks? I haven't caught any in my time slot.

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :)

I loved every minute of it. :) The only disappointment was when I came on board the cruise-ship in Miami and discovered that they didn't have NBC there, just CNN and ESPN. So I didn't get to watch any Friends sweeps episodes. :(

BTW, have you posted your review of 713? I can't find it in my newsreader.

But of course - I'll repost where we had go to. :)
