Are there original TGIF broadcasts anywhere?

[Kittykittykittycats]

I notice on a couple of season 7 and 8 episodes, the runtime is 21 minutes. Like S7 Christmas is only like 21:30 and Chick a Boom is around 21:40. In 2008 somebody uploaded the original TGIF broadcast of S7’s Christmas episode but of course the copyright Nazis HAD to take it away. So I can’t compare it now. Someone said it has to be the original airing because the WB logo had snow falling. Also, there’s no Reginald Veljohnson voiceover like in the syndicated prints.

I also desperately want the original airing of Rachel’s Place with the deleted cold open. I’m very upset that somebody emailed me and offered to send a tape from that night and totally gypped me out of money.

Does anyone know if those 2 episodes ran that long originally? And if someone actually has one from TGIF on ABC?

Were you able to confirm if the cold opening is on the DVD of season 2?

Disregard my last question, I realized that cold openings is something done by the network the ep originally aired so it would never be seen on the DVD or syndication

The original premiere of Rachel’s place used to be on YouTube. It started a few seconds into the cold open but it had most of it plus a scene of Urkel doing taichi and explaining to Rachel that everyone is mad at him for burning the hangout which gives her the idea to buy it.
