== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' is a rare case of a recut of an entire televised series (in this case, ''[[Dragonball Z]]''), cutting away the filler, remastering the show in HD and rerecording the dialogue with as many of the original voice actors as possible.

* When [[Marvel Comics]] reprinted the original series of ''[[Elf Quest]]'' new pages had to be added by Wendy Pini to fit the total page count. Some of these were new episode titles and recaps, while others were new or expanded story pages. Most of the latter were included in subsequent reprints; due to [[Art Evolution]] it's usually not too hard to tell which. A few of the new episode titles were also included, causing some disruption to the original chaptering. Controversially, the series was also re-lettered with bigger balloons which obscured more of the original art and removed some special formatting. This was not corrected until the art was finally "remastered" with computer lettering and coloring, which is the version currently available on the official website.
** Another reformatting took place when [[DC Comics]] reprinted the series in [[Manga]]-style volumes, requiring Pini to expand, contract or extend existing comic panels to fit the new page size. This version also included most of the additional art drawn for the Marvel version.
Line 23:
* There was a special showing of ''[[The Godfather]]'' trilogy on TV some years ago. Called ''The Godfather Saga'', it clocked in at ''over twelve hours'' and showed the events in all three films ''in chronological order'', adding scenes that were cut from the original theatrical releases. Whether this works or not [[Your Mileage May Vary|is entirely up to you]]. The added stuff was released on DVD in the [[Deleted Scene]] section.
* The horror film ''[[Needful Things]]'' was shown on TBS some years back with a sizeable chunk of added footage, most adding depth to the characters. This version has yet to be released in any format.
* The ''[[Dune]]'' movie. The 1984 theatrical version was not director [[David Lynch]]'s Director's Cut—the producers not only made him cut a lot of material from his script, they also cut a lot of scenes that had been shot out as well—but it's the only one he's very happy with. Then in 1988, an Extended Cut was made to be shown on TV, referred to as "The [[Alan Smithee]] Cut". It used deleted scenes, but reused more footage than ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic(1978 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. David Lynch hated it, demanding his name be removed from the writer and director credit. ''Then'', in 1992, a San Francisco TV station made a mix of a cut between the original theatrical version of the movie and the Alan Smithee cut, which kept the new scenes but also put the violence back in. Finally, a cut known as the Extended Edition came out on DVD, which was a 177-minute edit of the Alan Smithee version. David Lynch is now a bitter arthouse director. Go figure.
* Universal also did this for the Kevin Costner sci fi ''[[Waterworld]]''. The Extended Cut originally appeared on ABC television in two parts that clocked in at two hours each (with commercials). It trimmed out the opening pee shot, the excess violence, and replaced most cusswords with "Slime!". It also reshuffled some of the order of events and added a ''ton'' of development of both world and characters, mostly for the Deacon and the atollers.
* While we're on Kevin Costner, this also happened to ''[[Dances with Wolves]]''. An Extended Cut was shown in Europe that adds practically ''an hour'' to the running time. While the focus on John Dunbar is lost, all the characters get a ''buttload'' of development. Also, the precise reason why the Army camp was deserted was explained. This has been released on DVD, and is the only way to get a widescreen version of the film without eBay.
Line 101:
* ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'' has gone through a few editions. Director [[Robert Wise]] considered the original theatrical release a "rough cut", due to it being rushed to meet Paramount's première date (to the point where the film reels were still wet from developing when they were shipped out). An extended cut appeared on ABC TV and was released on VHS as a "Special Longer Edition" in 1983. Wise would later revisit the work, supervising the "Special Director's Edition" DVD release in 2001, which allowed him to complete the film closer to what he had intended in 1979, had he had more time. Interestingly enough, the first Blu-Ray release of ''The Motion Picture'' is the theatrical cut.
* The Blu-Ray releases of the first two ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films include both the theatrical cut and an extended cut. The extended cuts basically just re-incorporate the same [[Deleted Scene]]s which were extras on the original DVD releases. The Blu-Rays of the third movie onward only include the theatrical cut.
* ''[[Justice League (2017 film)|Justice League]]'' had an R-rated extended director's cut called ''[[Zack Snyder's Justice League]]'', with all of the footage shot by Snyder reinstated.

* [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|The original ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic]]'']] [[Pilot Movie]] was first shown as a film in Canada to raise capital for the series. This version is trimmed. Then, it was subsequently released as a three-part episode for re-runs. The full, uncut pilot is available on the DVD set, as are a slew of deleted scenes from ''every single episode'' of the series.
** [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|The new series]] also has a slew of "Extended Unrated Versions" of many episodes and telemovies. These versions are available on DVD.
** And editing scenes to fit with current-day Sunday-morning Japanese broadcast censors.
* ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' and ''[[QI]]'' have extended versions of their shows, broadcast the following night: ''Have I Got A Bit More News For You'' and ''QI XL'' respectively. However, some of these were not shown on [[The BBC]] for various reasons (The next night having sport on instead, and sometimes due to sensitivity of the material.) These episodes tend to get their first airing on ''Dave''.
