Syndication

Hi there,I live in Italy where The Simpsons has no syndication.. Now the question is : Has the Fox channel syndication ? And the episodes on the net contains too the syndications ?

Episodes broadcast on Fox in the USA (Sundays) are called "network runs." Those are uncut.

Episodes broadcast by independent stations 5-7 days per week in the USA are called "domestic syndication." They are cut.

Episodes broadcast outside the USA are always called "international syndication." (That includes Italy.) Broadcasters outside the USA receive episodes by mail uncut, but they have permission to make their own cuts if they wish -- and often do.

The only exception is Canada. Canadian stations that show The Simpsons 5-7 days per week use the USA "domestic syndication" versions. But all other Canadian broadcasters (the 'Global' network, cable channels, etc.) use the "international syndication" versions (and sometimes make their own cuts, and sometimes don't, just like other countries).

So yes, some episodes on the internet are from "domestic syndication," and they are accordingly cut. If you want uncut episodes, just try to find recordings that were made from Fox in the USA, or from any source except USA and Canadian domestic syndication.
