I've just bought the first 3 seasons of the Simpsons dvd box set (35 bucks each, not bad really) uncut, and there are many scenes (a lot rather minor) that I haven't seen before and C 10 have chosen to cut over the years, which is astounding and annoying considering that those geezers show 'trash' like Big Brother where every girl it seems blows a different bloke every night (or something along those lines) but those pricks chose to cut scenes like more Itchy and Scratchy or Groundskeeper Willie giving Mrs Krabapple a nice ol Slap to the face when she becomes hysterical over the disapperance of Seymour Skinner.
I can understand them cutting Grandpa's line when he appears to call Homer 'a big fat *****head' on a rollercoaster, but most of these other censor cuts are appalling.
And I bet other shows probably get cut too, like Law and Order etc.
These dumb a/holes at C10 should take a long at themselves ..
They have a bloke dressed as a woman coming on a perverted trash show like Big Brother, but no, they can't have a cartoon scotsman slapping a woman.
Hypocritical b@stards.

It's done partly to fit a timeslot and rating, and partly to fit in the ads. I'll leave it up to you to work out which might cause the larger number of edits.

Ya know, I just did the same thing last weekend - all 3 for $35 a pop, great stuff.

I believe episodes are edited by fox prior to distrubution for syndication around the world. Chances are the first run of the episode contained the scenes but the more timeslot friendly 're-run' version is seen from then on. I think there is some info on it at the excellent Simpsons resource snpp.com.

Another one to look out for - a little detail that was cut in 'Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" gave me a chuckle - Grandpa states Herb Powell's mother would do things Homer's mother would never do - "...like have sex for money."

Herb's mum was a pro! Classic!
