Small White Dragon: Nov 23, 2007; No relation.

Just watched all three seasons so I'm new here.

Do we know how many episodes are left in this season? Heard it was renewed for season 4 as well.

Kristen Bell's contract caps them at 13 episodes per season, and since we opened the season with an hour-long episode, there should be five episodes left.

I looked it up, and not quite yet.

11.15 new episode, Don�t Let the Good Life Pass You By
11.22 thanksgiving night footbawl
11.29 some weird lego jurassic world specials
12.06 new episode, Janet(s)

THEN there�s a month or so with no new episodes - December 13th and 27th are reruns, 20th is a series finale of Timeless ( ), and January 3rd is a two-hour premier of that Dwayne �The Rock� Johnson competition show, The Titan Games. The Good Place returns January 10 at 9:30/8:30c, after the season premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Titan Games runs in the 8/7c slot.)

01.10 The Book of Dougs
01.17 Chidi Sees the Time-Knife
01.24 Pandemonium

Remember we had a multi-page derail about the meaning of the finale�s title.

And actually, her contract caps them at 16 (she mentioned they can ask her to do more, but no more than 16 on an ep of the podcast). They just have been doing 13 because that's what NBC orders.

I checked on Netflix and it was 16 minutes for the whole episode?? How many commercial breaks do you Americans have to stretch that out to half an hour?

Seriously, it can't be that much work for 16 minutes of TV that it needs this much time between episodes.

Which episode? I don't think any episode has only been 16 minutes, but yeah we have a ton of commercials. It's not about work or time, it's about that sweet, sweet advertising money.

Sometimes, apparently. Also, the Blu-rays may have different extended cuts from the ones on NBC's own site. No-one seems to be able to pin down exactly what different versions exist for what episodes, or collate them in one place.

I made an attempt for S1. From that thread:

when comparing the versions of the last two episodes to their broadcast version, I noticed that the end of Chapter 12 was slightly different from the broadcast. Mainly for pacing, but in the process, the last line between Michael and Shawn was cut. I decided to make this video in the interest of curiosity for other fans and possible access to this slightly different version, should one or the other not make the cut in an eventual DVD or Blu-Ray release.

I've made the assumption that the Chapters, as separate episodes, are likely to be chosen for the home video release, an assumption made evident by my labeling of the standalone E12 as "DVD." Of course I have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, so this is more for ease of distinguishing the two cuts from one another than anything else.

If the video doesn�t embed correctly

I haven't compared - and don't intend to - the rest of the episode, but based on a glance at the TRT there doesn't appear to be any other changes. Just the ending.

As it turned out: The DVD (no Blu-ray, sad) did have extended �producer�s cut� versions of all the episodes - except eps 1 and 13. Those were only available on Hulu, and probably NBC�s site, though I never checked back then. So the DVD is, frustratingly, incomplete. And none of those extended versions are on Hulu anymore in the US; they expired shortly before S3 premiered. Netflix has them in broadcast length. And when I use the NBC app, this is what I see for S1:

S2 just has podcasts and clips, no episodes.

Amazon only has the broadcast-length versions as well. Only available for purchase, no streaming.

I never bothered comparing the runtimes for S2, so I couldn�t tell you the runtimes. Based on what i remember seeing on Hulu this Summer, they had extendeds for nearly every episode, except for the premiere, to which Schur apparently committed to the double-length premise and never had separate/extended cuts for those episodes. The rest were similar to S1, anywhere from 2 to 5-ish extra minutes each. I do not yet have the S2 DVD, but according to the Shout! Factory page, it contains extended episodes. Again, E1/2, �Everything is Great!,� appears as one double-length episode, but is not extended. I have never seen nor heard of any other version of this episode anywhere (besides the fact that they will be two episodes in syndication, obviously.)

Summary: In the US, you can see broadcast versions on Netflix and Amazon. The only place to see extended episodes for S1 and S2 is on DVD. Except S1E01 and S01E13, where there is nowhere to see them. Please prove me wrong, as I�d like to see them again.

pnumoman: Sep 26, 2008; I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.

Wow, that is some corporate bullshit with those two uncut episodes. Hulu is just the worst, but not surprising given that it's a streaming service from a group of networks that clearly don't care that much about it.

I actually distinctly remember watching the DVD and seeing a few extra lines for S1E13. Mainly a quick flashback to Jason being miserable as Jianyu and Tahani miserable after seeing the points list, with Eleanor noting these as examples of Michael forking with them.

I see that S1 was released on Blu-ray in the UK back in September, and S2 is set to be released in the UK in February. That�s great! I happen to have a player where I can change the playback region, so I will probably grab those in the next few months. Thanks!

Oh my god, I never even considered it, but of course the :spergin:

rules of the good place would dictate that any points for freeing an entire race of people would be more than offset by the casualties of the resulting civil war. Probably those on both sides, too
