A list of when Simpsons episodes have been broadcasted in error, or air at a strange time.

US[edit]

Episode Description Airdate Channel
"Once Upon a Time in Springfield" The airing was a last-minute replacement for the premiere of the Fox quiz show Our Little Genius when it was cancelled without being aired after the producers discovered that some of the contestants may have been given more specific information about their categories than was made public, which could have subjected the network to criminal penalties for violating Federal laws against manipulating quiz shows.

Episode Description Airdate Channel
Repeats (Episodes unknown) Due to Diana, Princess of Wales being involved in a car accident, Sky1 modified their schedules for the day. In this modified schedule, were (at least) two repeats of The Simpsons; those were repeats of "The Day the Violence Died" and "Much Apu About Nothing". August 31, 1997 Sky1
Unknown (possibly from Season 1) An episode of Stella ran in error without sound for 40 minutes on the Sky1 channel, and the error was not present on the HD channel. After 40 minutes, the screen went back for about 10 seconds before starting a repeat of an episode in the early seasons of The Simpsons. January 20, 2012
