User:Phinbart/UK cuts
This is a list of cuts that have been made to episodes in the UK, and a list of episodes that only air after the 9pm watershed ?
Contents
Episodes that air post-watershed
- "Weekend at Burnsie's" - Due to heavy drug use, it only airs after the watershed very rarely. Its time slot varies, most common to be 9:30pm. However, RTÉ Two airs this before the 9pm watershed.
- "Love, Springfieldian Style" - This episode hardly airs, even after the watershed. This episode has aired previously at the 6pm slot on Channel 4.
- "Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?" - Possibly due to sexual references.
Episodes that were temporarily banned
- "A Streetcar Named Marge" - BBC2 once aired the episode, but it was never shown again, possibly because of the offensive song. In 2005, Channel 4 aired the episode right after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Channel 4 apologized and cut the song entirely from the episode. Now, this episode hardly ever airs.
- "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" - This episode was due to air on BBC2 around the time of the 9/11 attacks, and was therefore pulled from the schedule. BBC2's rights expired before the channel could air the episode. On August 7, 2005, Sky1 finally aired the episode, with cuts to remove most (not all) shots of the Twin Towers.
- "The Cartridge Family" - This was banned by Sky1 for constant foolishness with guns, and was later released on a VHS compilation, Too Hot For TV, so that British viewers could see it the episode. The episode was broadcast on BBC on October 26, 2001, with Sky finally airing it on September 26, 2005.
