A few years ago, I went into CeX and bought several Friends DVDs. I had a few quid burning a hole in my pocket and thought, 'fuck it, why not?'.
At this point, I'd watched every episode about 50 times a piece. I love it.
That evening, I popped one of the disks into my DVD player and a scene that I had literally NEVER seen before came onto the screen. I was baffled, what the fuck is this?!

Turns out, it was an episode called 'The One With The Free Porn'. As I'd only ever watched Friends on television (Channel 4, E4) and there was so much stuff that these channels would have had to edit out, they just never played it. Apparently, it has been on Comedy Central though. Those kinky bastards.
So anyway, last night I settled down to watch How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. Another episode I'd never seen before! And guess what, it was about a sex tape.
I took to Facebook to ask: 'Is it just me? Or have other massive fans missed out on these episodes too?'. And a lot of people had never heard of them or, like me, had only stumbled across them via DVD purchases or Netflix. They even cottoned me onto a couple of others.
So, thanks to some censors, you may still have some episodes tucked away you've never seen before due to heavy cutting.

Here's the episodes you may have missed:
Friends - The One With The Free Porn - Season 4 ' Episode 17
Not to be confused with all the other episodes that mention porn (Phoebe's twin sister starring in one, Joey starring in one, Chandler getting off to sharks).

"After George's mother catches him alone in a somewhat embarrassing situation, Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer stage a contest to see who can last the longest without any sexual gratification.

"George is next after he visits his mother in hospital and her roommate gets a sponge bath across from the curtain separating them.

Scrubs - My Dirty Secret - Season 3 ' Episode 9
"After Elliot gives a patient an orgasm during a pelvic exam and refers to patients 'private areas' using non-medical terms Dr. Kelso taunts her. Carla tells Turk that she doesn't think they should have sex again until their wedding night, the Janitor uses this information to his advantage to get back at Turk.
"Dr. Cox moves in with J.D. and Turk temporarily as a result of not being able to handle his relationship with Jordan."
So there you go, check them out. Although, you may have already been aware of all of these. In that case, sorry. But if this helps just one person watch Barney Stinson looking for a sex tape then it was worth my time.
