All of them. None the Episodes were ever banned in Australia. Except for Stark Raving Dad, but that was long after it had been shown many times for years.

Saw then all before the world told people stop having a laugh .

[@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl]

All of them. The only one I had issues with finding is the New York episode. But they eventually lifted the ban on that one and I saw it. Not only did I see all of them, some of these are among the first episodes I ever saw. The marijuana one was THE first episode I ever saw

[@rloco80]

I’ve seen all those Classic episodes, and None of them should have ever been banned!

[@mojo3318]

I've seen three of them: "The Cartridge Family", part of "Stark Raving Dad", and part of "Blame It On Lisa".

This is why it's important to invest in physical media. You can watch these "banned" episodes whenever the hell you want.

The MJ episode ban is messed up.

[@dreamguardian8320]

I thought it was ok, especially with that birthday song they made for Lisa.

[@TheMrSugar]

There's been evidence that several people in that documentary were being paid to lie on camera, and that those two kids who produced it had also made similar accusations against other celebrities like Jay Leno, so this ban should be lifted, besides, it's one of my favorite episodes along with one of my favorite moments between Bart and Lisa.

[@AXEL-jt2cd]

All over allegations…… Done in the era of Me-Too, the creators decided to give into the mob mentality, such a shame. This should bring back the episode, there’s nothing wrong with it. Always weirdos in Hollywood who want to deflect by using MJ, just saying…

[@PrincessofPower84]

Exactly! They still haven't banned the Aerosmith or John K. episodes.

[@tails230]

They ban the episode... yet they still have 'Do the Bartman' music video avalable on Disney+. Which was a collab with Michael Jackson producing and providing the backup lyrics.

Interesting Fact: In Disney+ Turkey, the episode "Mobile Homer" is banned. Also the episode's popularity was hugely increased in Turkey after the 2023 Turkey-Syria Earthquake. In the original airing of Turkey on 2007, the conversation with Turkish captain was censored.

I always found "Cartridge Family" odd when Homer already owned a firearm. He owned a shotgun, which was shown in $pringfield when Marge becomes addicted to gambling after Mr. Burns opens a casino. "Cartridge Family" implied that Homer never owned a weapon or firearm in his life, yet he only had the shotgun to defend his family.

[@vangboi05]

Homer also used a shotgun in "Dial 'Z' for zombies"

[@jeffb.6642]

To enjoy the Simpsons you have to suspend your ... faith in continuity (?) as there is little continuity between episodes. Look at how many times Homer's car has been destroyed, for him to be driving the same car in the next episode. Or when he turned his home into a Bar when Moe's was burnt up, only for Moe's to be rebuilt the following episodes. And there are more examples but these are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

[@job489]

@jeffb.6642 I posted that I thought it was odd. I didn't mention that I hated it. Some moments in The Simpsons are odd to me, but I enjoyed them.

[@JamesSmith-uc8tk]

Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

[@timothybogle1461]

In Mom and Pop art, he casually puts the shotgun in Maggie's playpen.

Yes Brazil was angry at the Simpsons for how they portrayed their country, but this was around the same time when Fox Studios countersued a Brazilian Brewery using the name Duff Beer. This seems like there was something going on behind the scenes.

[@gfaDiaspa]

Argentinian here! About 9, this was HORRIBLY wrong. 1 - Perón was not a dictator. Although he was a general and did participate in a military government, he became president through elections. 2 - The military Junta that ruled during the so called "Dirty War" started in 1976, 2 years after his death. They were found guilty of multiple human rights violations. 3 - Perón is an emblematic (but contentious) figure in Argentinian politcs, which is why some local politicians asked for a ban, but it never made it through. This is most likely writers just mixing all our history together, most Argentinians didn't even care. And in local channels we saw it again several times during the multiple reruns.

[@monarched]

Amazing to hear that.

I can understand why City of New York Vs Homer Simpson was pulled after 9/11, however, as the jokes about the Big Apple were nothing to do with 9/11, after all, it was released 4 years before that terrible day in 2001, I would say that the jokes are if anything, a breath of fresh air. It's a cliché that many shows fall into when characters visit famous cities, where they go "wow look at that, isn't this amazing?" Yet Homer's experience is, while bad, they're told in a hilariously relatable way. I've always loved that episode and wish the original cut would surface again

[@deinemudda6104]

it is the images of the wtc. Shortly after 9/11 there was this mindset (for some reason) to remove the wtc from all films etc.

[@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl]

I can't agree with it. He was never convicted of anything. Even if he was, this episode came before the allegations. It's a beautiful story. Not a funny episode but Bart's birthday song for Lisa makes it worth it

[@Fluffyudders]

Why would anyone agree with the banning? The media went after MJ so hard and still do, they want to bury his legacy because he was so outspoken about the power and corruption endemic to the industry. He was never convicted despite their best efforts, but it didn't matter to them because the damage to his reputation was done. Even if he was guilty (which I don't believe for a second) banning an episode of Simpsons from over 30 years ago because he did a voice in it is pure insanity and the worst kind of virtue signalling, which in itself is especially ironic given the kind of people who virtue signal so hard over this kind of thing are usually the ones who are actually guilty of messing around with kids.
