I just saw the episode where the Simpsons visit New York. It appeared to be unedited. Has anyone seen this episode recently?

To my knowledge, it has never aired on the Boston FOX affiliate since before 9/11/01.

It hasn't been shown in this country since.

Are you sure you saw it BJL? According to www.tvtome.com (or www.epguides.com ), they said that it is likely that it will never be shown again. i dont know about that. maybe its just me 'eh..

I haven't seen it since August of 2001.

I don't see why that episode could be seen as offensive. The boy band episode airs a lot on my local station and that episode actually shows a skyscraper in NYC being blown up.

Yes, 9/11 was a horrible tragedy, but we can't act like the buildings never existed.

It was probably for reasons of sensitivity. That episode seemed unedited because it had Homer going to one tower to use the bathroom only to find it closed and he has to go to the other tower and use it. What's so bad about that?

I can understand not showing the episode in the aftermath of 9/11, but time has passed and it should be shown again.

Exactly. There is nothing we can do about September 11. If the episode was produced after the attacks, that would spark a lot of criticism.

I saw it a week or so ago. The only part that I noticed cut is that in the original Homer moans in pleasure while urinating much longer. They cut a lot of the moan out.
