watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.

i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

The ones broken up for televised airing like normal 23 minute long episodes is the main reason. They'd have a time difference from watching them on adult swim compared to the DVDs too. They cut some jokes out and inserted commercials. I really can't even stand watching Bender's Big Score in the episodic format, since much of the stuff I liked most was cut or shortened.

Pretty sure this is exactly the answer. Production Season 5/Broadcast Season 6 was made as 4 dvd movies that were then cut up into four episodes each for broadcast.
