The Simpsons
Disney+ has exclusive streaming rights over The Simpsons.[1] However, the episodes from before the show went widescreen are available on a 16:9 aspect ration, rather than their original 4:3 aspect ratio. This cuts off parts of the screen and even cuts out some jokes, such as a joke from the episode "Duffless" where Duff Beer, Duff Lite and Duff Dry are all shown coming from the same tube. The episodes are set to be given their original 4:3 aspect ratio in "early 2020".[2]
The season 3 premiere "Stark Raving Dad" is also not available on Disney+, due to being removed from syndication due to the allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson.[3]
