While watching the Simpsons on DVD, I've been amazed at some of the great stuff that fell victim to syndication cuts. My favorite so-far was Bart and Lisa singing the theme to Shaft in the karoake bar in One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Bluefish. But I also liked Bart's funeral in Bar the General. I had never seen either of those scenes before. So, after watching some of these older episodes again, what cut scenes are your favorites??
best lines/scenes cut for syndication

Well I've never seen a Simpson DVD.. But here in OZ they always play Bart and Lisa singing the theme to Shaft.. So, my question is.. Would it be safe to believe that in the US they cut more from the eppisodes than abroad?

Me, too, but I think they cut part of it out -- it seemed longer on the DVD.
Yeah, for distribution abroad they send the various countries the entire episode, I guess because tv time/commercial formats differ; it's up to them to cut based on time or content.

Hurf, at least with syndication you had a chance to see cut stuff the first time around, here we are watching it in the UK and some stuff we NEVER get to see.

In the Christmas episode where the kids where stuck in school, they cut the scene where Milhouse tears up a permanent record. In syndication, they don't show the paper reconstructing itself.
In the hullapalooza episode they cut Otto saying "My shoes are talking". No drug references I guess...

I think they don�t make syndication cuts in the UK (cuts to have more time for commercials) but censorship cuts. Sky and BBC cut stuff like swear words or violence. There�s a cut guide for UK airings:

That is one of my all time favorite episodes. That scene was in the last airing here (New Orleans) I am happy to report. So some cuts must vary from station to station. One cut that comes to mind is in Realty Bites 5F06. The show where Homer buys Snake's car from a police seized-property auction. It is the scene where after Homer misses the wire Snake has strung across the road, Kirk Van Houten comes by holding a sandwich in the air saying "I told that idiot to slice my sandwich!". At this point I just knew the wire would cut his sandwich, instead the wire cuts off Kirk's arm. Later in the unemployment office, we see him with his arm in a sling.

Treehouse of horror VII, Citizen Kang. my favourite line gets chopped: "When I was a boy, I dreamed of being a baseball....
I liked in treehouse of horror V, at the begining, with "this is my voice on teeevveeee"

In "King Size Homer" (3F05), Lisa tries to get Marge to tell Homer he needs to do something about his weight. Marge's reply, "You're father can be surprisingly sensitive. Remember when I giggled at his Sherlock Holmes hat. He sulked for a week and then closed his detective agency."
