They haven't shown it yet, they're doing a top 50 countdown today and tomorrow, and they start from the beginning on Monday as a weekday double bill at 8pm.
However it is part of the countdown, and is on later today at 3pm.
Did they show Pheobe playing at a subway in the pilot episode?

Found this site a few years ago which shows deleted scenes on the us box sets. This might help us to see if they are new masters. http://uncutfriendsepisodes.tripod.com/

Bit of an issue that's been overlooked. Although everything's looking pristine for those of us fortunate to have HD, the SD channel versions will be unwatchable in the eyes of ordinary viewers. On a 16:9 set, the default (and so the setting most will erroneously leave it in) is to watch stretched letterboxed, which looks hideous, or switch correctly to 4:3, which leaves black bars all around the screen.
Why are the SD channels still in 4:3?
Comedy Central SD and +1 are showing Friends in letterbox mode like any other widescreen programmes they have. If they can't be bothered broadcasting in 16:9 SD they may aswell leave the shows in 4:3.

I'll be watching later on, don't have access to comedy central at the moment. This is the scene in question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjskrRATVRk

Really? I've always considered that to be one of the worst of the last season.
If anyone wants a laugh, tune in now... The One Where Ross is Fine is on. Hilarious episode, and proves the show was still great even by the end (this is season 10 episode 2).

Yes I've noticed differences in the opening titles on a lot of episodes today. Also why isn't everything in HD? It's almost like some cameras used videotape and not film.
Some shots on the opening titles on the one with the cheesecake looked slightly different just now on comedy central.

There really is no excuse for it today - and I wish OFCOM would be somewhat stricter over it. If a company isn't in a position to broadcast in 16:9 over a decade after the technology became available, and now many years since it became the norm, they really shouldn't be in a position to have a licence. (And similarly no excuse for SD channels at least to broadcast 4:3 material in any ratio other than 4:3 considering again for a decade or so televisions have been able to handle switching ratios to the users preferences).

Another couple of spots of non HD including the scene on the beach with the jellyfish sting, and also the dual filmed split with Lisa Kidrow as Phoebe on one side & Ursula on the Other.
Even though I've seen these all many times, I'm finding myself looking into the details in the backgrounds.
