 * "World War 3" was banned from airing on the network during the Gulf War, for six months after the OKC bombing, and after 9/11, until in 2002, when the shorts were removed from the block.

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.

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire

 * In some reruns the end of Lisa's dance scene is cut out.
 * In the original 1990-2000 master used by ERPT 1, Mr. Burns' dialog has been redubbed by Harry Shearer, this was an edit meant to be worldwide for the 1990 holiday season, but was only sent to Eruowood and Germany. 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

 * While not necessary censorship, re-runs on ERPT 1 from 2000-2016 had a version of the intro without sound effects be used by mistake.

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:
 * Lisa: A long lost half brother. How Dickensian.
 * Bart: So, any idea where this bastard lives?
 * Homer: Bart!
 * Bart: His parent's aren't married are they? It's the correct word, isn't it?
 * Homer: I guess he's got us there.
 * Marge: Hmm.
 * (cut to the next shot in Shelbyville)

This removes Bart's "♪ Bastard, bastard... ♪" song.


 * Homer's line “Holy moly, the bastard's rich!” was also removed.

Stark Raving Dad

 * The episode has been removed from all TV and streaming services, save for appearing on the yearly "Every Simpsons Ever" marathon due to Eruowoodian misleading advertising laws. It has also been removed from future Season 3 DVD sets.

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."

Homer's Barbershop Quartet

 * Herman's Confederate flag that appeared in Act One was edited in all pre-watershed airings, originally by putting a black bar over it via a VCR transmission, and later, digitally blurring it out.

Cape Feare

 * All scenes of Sideshow Bob using his blood to write letters to Bart were cut out of pre-watershed airings to make it look like it was just red ink.

Homer Goes To College

 * In TV airings, the credits are played normally with the black background rather than being a photo montage.

Rosebud

 * The Hitler sequence was cut out of reruns, and on Disney+, the sequence is retained, but Hitler's swastika was digitally replaced with an "X" mark.

$pringfield

 * After the real Siegfield & Roy got injured by the tiger, the episode was temporarily pulled.

Homer Badman

 * The episode was temporarily banned in light of the #MeToo movement, but has since been back on rotation.

The nudity montage is present as a bonus feature in the Eruowoodian release of The Complete 7th Season DVD box set, where the episodes are unrated, with permission from the EURMS censorship board.

Team Homer

 * The Academy Award that Homer stole in some reruns just has a gold block with "Homer Simpson" in where Don Ameche or Dr. Haing S. Ngor was.

Treehouse of Horror VIII

 * The cold open of the Fox censor editing the script stating that the special was rater "TV G" but only to get murdered by the US TV rating box was omitted leaving only the title screen and the electric chair couch gag in ERPT 1 reruns.
 * During some ERPT 1 reruns the open was replaced with the shortened Season 2 intro with the duplicate family couch gag still leaving the original title screen, but as a still screenshot without the electric chair couch gag and the TV intro credits.

Trash of the Titans

 * All instances of the word "wanker" (mostly used by U2's Bono) were cut on ERPT 1 re-runs.

Sunday, Cruddy Sunday

 * The Catholic Church Super Bowl commercial was edited to say to "The Church, we made a few changes".

Thirty Minutes over Tokyo

 * The Battling Seizure Robots scene was edited to reduce flashing and Battling Seizure Robots was renamed as "Battle Robots". This was done after TWN aired an English-subbed version of the Pokemon episode "Electric Solder Porygron" which cause numerous viewers to have seizures.
 * The Hello Kitty factory scene was also initially cut, albeit due to several Japanese TechEruo employees objecting to the scene, it was first seen uncensored on a 2002 DVD release and became fully uncut circa 2004.
 * The end credits were replaced with the normal black screen end credits and music.

Behind the Laughter

 * An alternate cut was made using the template for ERPT 1's bumpers at the time instead of the pseudo-FOX bumpers. It was only seen on reruns on ERPT 1 pre-2009 and wasn't anywhere else, the only way you could watch this cut today is via pirated VHS recordings.

A Tale of Two Springfields

 * ERPT 1 had cut the scene of where after the badger attacks Homer, he lifts up his shirt, revealing a hole in his chest that shows his internal organs, and Lisa asking how the badger was even able to do that without ripping his shirt. However, this was only in the first few reruns (between 2001-2005), and the scene was added back into the episode, sometime around 2005.
 * Kent Brockman's Line "Thanks, Mr. Simpson. Because of you, we're all taking golden showers" was removed as well, however, this line is still removed in every ERPT 1 airing to this day.

Hungry, Hungry Homer

 * On Disney+ Eruowood, the original ending in which the Mayor of Albuquerque decides not to buy the Springfield Isotopes and instead buys the Dallas Cowboys was cut, making the episode end with Homer celebrating the end of his hunger strike. The original uncut and uncensored ending can still be seen on home media releases & ERPT 1 airings of the episode.

The Blunder Years

 * Since 2004, the episode has been barred from airing at Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1, due to it's disturbing content (Because of the plot being about Homer remembering a horrific childhood incident where he found a corpse in a ravine). Although it was banned completely at first, it premiered on, with out any promotion at 00:25am on April 30, 2004, just after the King of the Hill episode "Pigmalion". Fox Eruowood though, airs this episode with minor cuts though at pre-watershed times. This is the only EUMRS rated PG episode to air post-Watershed.

Weekend at Burnsie's

 * The episode has been barred from airing at Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1, after it's first airing on March 17, 2003 at 19:30pm received 3,453 complaints, due to the episode having drug use & drug references, Fox Eruowood rarely aired this one as well, but the episode is available to watch on Disney+ Eruowood.

The Strong Arms of the Ma

 * The whole scene of Homer politely refusing Marge's sexual advances the night before her bodybuilding contest, and then Marge proceeds to rape him was removed entirely from ERPT 1 airings (since 2010) & Disney+ Eruowood. However, ERPT 3 did air the episode uncensored twice, once in 2012, and again in 2013.

Bart-Mangled Banner

 * Bart's butt is blurred on some airings, despite being uncensored or cut out otherwise. The former is likely due to him "mooning" (accidentally, as a donkey ripped off his pants) the US flag, which disrespect to the US flag on Eruowoodian TV, whether portrayed as positive or negative, while not illegal, is highly frowned upon by Eruowoodian TV broadcasters, to keep peaceful relations with the US.

Treehouse of Horror XV

 * The episode has been barred from airing at Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1 & Fox Eruowood, due to references to opium smoking & brutal violence.

The Boys of Bummer

 * The episode was banned due to EWAS (Eruowoodians Against Suicide) protesting against it after it's initial airing. It rarely airs outside of the annual Every Episode marathon or graveyard slots, even on cable networks. It's one the few episodes to get the M16 EUMRS rating.

All's Fair in Oven War

 * The following scene is cut during Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1:
 * (Cut to Bedroom. Marge is cutting naked women out of the Playdudes. She is currently cutting around a woman)
 * Marge: (pretending to be woman in the magazine) I don't have any clothes so I'll just display myself out on a pool table.


 * The following line is cut during Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1 & Fox Eruowood:
 * Bart: I could make my treehouse look like this. Then we could have orgies, whatever they are.

Love Is a Many Strangled Thing

 * The episode has been barred from airing at Pre-Watershed times on ERPT 1 & Fox Eruowood, due to the Homer hanging scene, and the fact that Bart takes advantage of abusing Homer, who is traumatized of him, because of the therapeutic session.

The Simpsons Movie

 * The scene where Bart skateboards naked through the bushes is censored by a long black bar in the middle in all Eruowoodian TV versions but the original theatrical release & DVD release.
 * The scene where the Flanders family at Krusty Burger when Bart was plastered to the window the "bountiful penis" lines were cut out in all Eruowoodian TV versions but the original theatrical release & DVD release.
 * The scene where Homer gives the angry mob the middle finger is poorly edited by background squares where the fingers were making look like if Homer is shaking his fists at the mob as he goes down the sinkhole in the original theatrical release, but is kept uncut in all other Eruowoodian versions & DVD release.
