They completely cut out any reference of the World Trade Center.

so they only showed the first and third acts?

i thought the plan was to never show that ep in syndication again, because the entire story is centered on the WTC

did they just cut out the part where he was trying to go to the bathroom? what did they do, just put another 5 min of commercials in

yeah, Homer's car is parked in between the towers.

It doesn't have the guy saying all the jerks are in tower 1.
Homer only goes up one building to the bathroom instead of both towers.
There are others but it's really obvious that it's chopped up a bunch.

yeah, i remember that they cut out the references to "the jerks in tower two" or whatever the line is, but left the rest...then just decided to not run it in syndication any more

but i guess i was misinformed

IT'S NOT LIKE THE TOWERS WERE NEVER THERE!!

[Edited on April 30, 2008 at 6:24 PM. Reason : btw - they cut that years ago]

i don't remember any WTC reference, so it seems pretty smooth. is there a youtube of the original version?

Origional is still for sale on DVD... season... 8 or 9 maybe. Episode is called the City of New York vs. Homer Simpson

i remember making/posting in threads like this back in 2001/2002.

^^ It's Season 9, the first where cracks in the exterior start to show. I said I wouldn't buy it and I almost have a couple of times...there are plenty of good episodes in there, but also some real clunkers.
