Season 1

 * In most Fox reruns & the episodes "Homer's Night Out" & "Krusty Gets Busted" on Disney+ Eruowood, the original opening sequence has been replaced with the shortened season 2 open with the duplicate Simpson family couch gag, however, Fox airings of "The Telltale Head", "The Call of The Simpsons", & "Some Enchanted Evening" still use the Season 1 intro.

Germany didn't use it at all due to not speaking English. This master has been replaced with a different one in December of 2000, meaning the original is no longer legally available.
 * The 1990-2000 version can be viewed online via pirated VHS recordings on archive.co.ew

The Telltale Head

 * Several (currently six) times, ERPT 1 & Fox Eruowood have used the alternative ending scene, with Bart's speech to the mob, in which he points out that removing the head made everyone realize that they were "taking the town's heritage for granted", to temporarily remove the original ending, with Homer's line "Good going, son. But remember, most lynch mobs aren't this nice":
 * After the Oklahoma City Bombing
 * After 9/11
 * After 7/7
 * After The Boston Massacre
 * After The Charlottesville Incident
 * After The George Floyd Riots (the original ending was permanently removed in all current Eruowoodian airings)

Some Enchanted Evening

Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment

 * Early re-runs of this episode between 1991-1994 had all of the scenes that involved Bart watching "Top Hat Entertainment" including the one where Bart is charging 50 cents to for viewing were removed, but they where added back in sometime later due to viewer complaints about plot holes in the episode.
 * Also in early re-runs, the scene where Homer is running after the Cable Guy is cut.

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

 * The following was shortened to the following whenever it is aired on ERPT 1 & Fox:

 * Homer: Bart!
 * Bart: His parent's aren't married are they? It's the correct word, isn't it?

Saturdays of Thunder

 * On Disney+ Eruowood, the intro uses Danny Elfman's arrangement of the show's theme instead of Alf Clausen's arrangement.

Kamp Krusty

 * The episode has been questioned if it should air on the summer marathon after 27 years of tradition, due to a scene of the kids burning the Krusty totem pole, however, it aired with no problem due to putting a disclaimer at the beginning saying "This episode took nine months to make in the early 1990s, any resemblance to the ongoing riots is coincidental."
