I just have a couple of questions about this episode - but please don't give any content spoilers as I haven't watched it yet....

1. Is it true that the regular version of this episode is approx. 2 hours long?
2. What's the difference between the regular and Director's Cut versions of the episode?
(Director's Cut usually means longer, if so, how much longer?)

Thanks!

Edit:- Hmm, if my math on the minutes is right, then TGLF can't be more than a regular episode length... The second question stands though.

No. Both versions are on the DVD. The original one runs about 43 minutes. The "Director's Cut" runs about 46 minutes.

Three minutes.

In regards to your second question, a director's cut of an episode is the show exactly how the director envisioned it. Nothing's been edited out because of network "concerns", time overages, etc. The episode you see on TV is whatever didn't make it to the chopping room floor.

I like watching the director's cut of an episode. Sometimes you get to see things you didn't get the chance to see the first time around on television.
