Caddyshack. TV edit has 2 scenes.

1. Dr. Beeper driving up in the 911 passing the caddies on the way in. Tony hits the rear quarter panel and fakes that he's been hit, falling to the ground. Dr. Beeper exits the car and goes to attend while another caddy locks his door. When the caddies run off, Dr. Beeper triggers his car alarm attempting to open the door.

2. Danny and Ty are finishing up the whole be the ball thing. Carl comes by on this big lawn mower and talks to them, teaching them a swing and Ty takes the ball of someone trying to play thru and gives it to Carl to hit. He whacks it and all three run off before the party behind catches up.

I recently watched The Breakfast Club on some station that had the following scene added (copied from IMDB):

When they sneak out of the library, there is a scene where Dick is at the vending machine getting some candy. He loses his money and starts kicking the machine. Every one has to run by this door one at a time to get where they are going. They all run by just missing being noticed. Ally Sheedy however slowly walks by stops and stares at Dick kicking the machine then slowly walks past unnoticed. Molly Rinwald then says "She's nuts but she's cool"

The Jerk comes to mind. I was so used to seeing this on tv, that when I finally saw the theatrical version on dvd, it was really weird not seeing a few scenes that are only on the tv version.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079367/alternateversions

# A version of "The Jerk" shown on cable's Turner Network Television contained alternate footage. Besides changing the name of Navin's dog to "Stupid" rather than the traditional "Shithead," genuine alternate footage was contained. In one previously-unseen scene, Navin is so broken-up over the loss of Marie that he "just had to spin." The carnies remove him from the ride by force, and he tries to explain to them what emotions are. The "charity" montage is also rather different. Before the cat juggling sequence Navin meets a professor-type who insults him and shows him some apparently unpleasant pictures, and a Texan millionare who cries over small cracks on the seat of his airplane. Navin pays both, of course. In this version there is no "Iron Balls McGinty" sequence.

# On the television version there are a few extra scenes not available on the VHS release. On the TV version Navan elaborates on making a dollar and ten cents an hour, and he also tells his mother he was waiting for his skin to change color any year now. This footage is not available anywhere else.

# The scene where Mr. Hartounian hires Navin is a bit different in the TV version. Instead of showing Navin at the urinal, the entire shot of Jackie Mason is used until Navin exits the men's room. Also, Mr. Hartounian mocks Navin's response and mentions how kids today "wanna start on the top and work their way sideways," which ends in him wondering, "who'm I talkin' to?"

# The scene where Navin and Marie first meet was also changed. After Navin rescues Billy from the train ride, he tramples through a bunch of miniature houses because his cap is pulled down. When Marie gives Navin back his stuff and thanks him for saving Billy, an alternate take and different shots are used. After Navin says, "he's a real little dickens," Marie adds the line, "so are you," and a close-up is used when she kisses him.

The extended tv version of Halloween is available on dvd as well. One of the entended scenes reveal that Michael is Laurie's sister....a concept that was not present at all in the original film.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077651/alternateversions


# Additional scenes were shot by director John Carpenter for the 1981 Television Network premiere. These include:

* a meeting between Dr. Loomis and two doctors from the mental (psychiatric) institution where Michael Myers is being kept
* a scene where a nurse leads Dr. Loomis to Michael's room, telling him who was supposed to have been watching the patients. Once they arrive in Michael's room, she tells him he must have broken the window glass with his bare hands. They then glance over on the wall, and see that he has written in blood the word "sister".
* a shot of Michael Myers sitting completely motionless in his cell
* a scene where Lynda visits Laurie Strodes at home and borrows a blouse just as Annie calls trying to borrow the same blouse.

We never do see the photos. The payoff is, when another hardluck case is soliciting Navin, he (Navin) says something about a poor family eating (sucking?) rocks to survivie, supposedly referring to the earlier photos.

Two Minute Warning had new footage filmed, which changed the motives of the villains.

The Warriors had extra scenes for TV

Also, I think The Godfather I & II were shown on TV with more unseen footage and called 'The Godfather Saga'

wasn't there a laserdisc version of "The Godfather" edited the same as the TV edit with the violence and language restored?

At that point all one saw were mysterious lights with no definite outline of the solidity of the ships. I think this was changed per Spielberg's request on the Criterion laserdisc as well.

an interesting footnote to this Special Edition shot was that while Criterion wanted it's laserdisc edition to retain the original 1977 theatrical edit of the film - this new footage is the only shot that Spielberg specifically requested put directly back into the film. Oddly, this supposed 1977 cut of the film does not include the original "When You Wish Upon A Star" (in lyric form) over the end credits. The ABC television cut was also the only version that included the "they can fly rings around the moon, but we're light years ahead of them with our highways" line, that is no where on the SE DVD edition of the film (but is on the Criterion laserdisc SE).

That's becasue the 1977 theatrical version ended with the same end credits score found on the Criterion LaserDisc, as well as the Colelctor's Edition LaserDisc, DVD and VHS. The only version to have the "When You Wish Upon a Star" interpolation was the 1980 Special Edition (though, to confuse the issue, the Special Edition end credits melody is the one featured on the soundtrack CD to the Collector's Edition). Oh, and I'm not sure what you mean by "in lyric form"; no version of CE3K ever had singing over the end credits.
