Latest revision as of 18:15, June 28, 2022

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 ? m̩==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" - Possibly due to drug references and bad language. This episode hardly airs, even after the watershed. This episode has aired previously at the 6pm slot on Channel 4, with cuts.
  • "Smoke on the Daughter" - This episode is only shown post-watershed on Channel 4, possibly due to themes revolving around smoking.
  • "Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?" - Possibly due to sexual references. This episode has aired previously at the 6pm slot on Channel 4, uncut.
  • "American History X-cellent" - Possibly due to violence and drug references. This episode has aired previously at the 6pm slot on Channel 4, uncut.
  • "Whiskey Business" - Possibly due to suicide 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.

Saturdays of Thunder

Some of the "McBain" movie Homer was watching at the DVD store was cut out in UK airings on the BBC, which no longer airs the show but did at time of airing. The cuts are as follows:

(A waiter reaches into a turkey and retrieves a gun, he leads the laser-guider onto McBain's chest.)

Skowie: Everything's gonna be...

(Skowie reaches to retrieve a photo from McBain, getting in the way of the laser. The waiter shoots, but Skowie gets in the way of the bullet. The waiter doesn't stop shooting and keeps blasting Skowie, over and over again. We see the carnage from different angles. First from behind; then from above, where a ceiling fan blocks most of the violence; then we see it through a key-hole and finally through a steering wheel from an old boat. We see a close-up of the gun, as it keeps firing. The waiter stops firing, as Skowie grabs one of his many gun wounds, he falls to the floor screaming. The waiter leaps onto a motorbike, hidden behind the counter, and drives away. McBain runs after it, blasting at it. The waiter gets away as McBain returns to his fallen partner, who is lying in a huge puddle of blood.)

Skowie: Damn, damn, damn, damn. McBain, I'm not gonna make it.
McBain: Oh, stop talking crazy.
Skowie: Do one thing for me... get Mendoza.

(Skowie dies as his hand rolls over, photo of his wife and boat still in hand. grabs Skowie's body and listens for a heart beat, he then lets go and looks upwards.)

McBain: (yelling) Mendoza!
