I remember reading some theories online ages ago about how there were subtle references in the Bigger Brother episode that Tom is a pedo. That would count, only I can't think of any actual real evidence supporting this aside from maybe the "Bart I could kiss you... if I hadn't told the Bigger Brothers that I wouldn't" line. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

When I was a kid living in Tasmania, The Simpsons was on Channel 7. That information means nothing to anyone else but mainland Australians, as it was (for nearly 30 years since its premiere) broadcast on Channel 10. Back then, Tasmania only had three channels, Channel 7, ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and TVT (TeleVision Tasmania) community television. Ch 7 basically had all the popular shows aired on 7, 9 and 10 on mainland Australia, so when The Simpsons first broadcast down under, it was on 10 everywhere else but Tasmania. We moved to the mainland in 1991, I was in third grade. Third graders don't believe stories that contradict what they have seen with their own eyes, they are always right. The concept of The Simpsons being aired on any other channel than 10 was an impossible concept that there was zero chance of explaining. In my first week at the school as the new kid, the out of towner, the interloper, my playground cred was at its most volatile and ANY slip up was bound to shape my primary school experience from there on. Third graders are loving stupid, and they do not forget. I tried to explain that The Simpsons was on channel 7 where I came from, and I found it weird that it was on a different channel. But NO! It was on Channel 10! I was making poo poo up! I was a loving idiot! A LIAR! Lying about the BIGGEST thing of 1991... Third grade on the mainland solidified my station in that school as That retard who thinks the Simpsons is on a different channel... It all went downhill from there. TBH, I'd have made it there anyway but I like to feel that this story was the blame, or at least a significant catalyst. I joined this forum after all... Also, The Simpsons ended up on Channel 7 a few years ago so WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? Dumb kids... Maximum Sexy Pigeon fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Oct 21, 2022 |

My house had a bizarre form of TV censorship in that it was based on how much the characters yelled. My mum despised comedy that she defined as people just screaming at each other. So I was always allowed to watch The Simpsons, but Ren & Stimpy was banned. Red Dwarf was ok, but not the Young Ones. Watching South Park and Quads on SBS was somehow more acceptable than Rocko's Modern Life.Maximum Sexy Pigeon posted:When I was a kid living in Tasmania, The Simpsons was on Channel 7. I'm more surprised that Tasmania had television at all back then. I assumed everyone in the state just crowded around the one TV that had a satellite dish.

We also had so much censored out of the episodes compared to when I would see them on mainland TV years later. Neds clocktower rampage was shortened down to one shot, Homer didn't get to buy an array of smut and enema kits when looking for fireworks, and Kent Brockman never thought it was about loving time.

Never been banned watching TV, but for The Simpsons it was about how rich you were. Here in Ireland/UK, you could only watch it on Satellite TV, Sky 1. Which was really expensive at the start. Same with Star Trek TNG, we would be years behind everyone when it appeared on terrestrial TV later.

happyhippy posted:Never been banned watching TV, but for The Simpsons it was about how rich you were. This makes me think that there were a lot of kids who did/could/would just make up poo poo about episodes that they knew other people hadn't seen knowing full well they coudn't be proven or disproven and even the magazines would be behind or incomplete on episodes more than likely. Some guy I knew years ago would do that all the time when the internet wasn't so widespread, too. You name the show or movie or comic, nothing was too small for him to lie about if he knew you couldn't disprove it.

I remember finding out Bart's retort to Homer when he banned him from watching the Itchy & Scratchy movie about 20 years after it was first aired because they cut it out. In Australia... Bloody Australia!  Also, they hacked the poo poo out of the darker Ren & Stimpy episodes.

It's always wild hearing about all these cartoons getting censored internationally. I watched a lot of cartoons through Mumbai growing up and somehow it seems like that was the only nexus that censored less than the States. I saw a lot of Looney Toons commit suicide, a bunch of Nickelodeon episodes that had been banned, and that rug munching episode of Cow & Chicken more than once. Even got to see the pre-9/11 version of that segment in Door to Door on Invader Zim.

I think it might be a mix of certain ratings boards being churchie geezers even though the rest of the country doesn't give a poo poo, and/or networks filing Australia under 'Asia' and so giving shows conservative cuts that supposedly would be required to get past Chinese censorship or whatever.

Beartaco posted:Got any examples on hand? It's not something I noticed growing up. Ever heard how a bunch of episodes of Doctor Who from the 1960s got erased by the BBC to save storage space? Some of these episodes have excerpts surviving because the Australian censor office hacked them out of the film prints they got from the BBC and kept them in a folder. In some cases these clips run to almost a minute, out of a 25 minute episode.

I find the story of lost Dr. Who episodes much more interesting than the show, which I've never seen and don't really care to. It's not just "a bunch". It's around 100 episodes. And they all have audio preserved, just no video (or not much video). Lost media is fascinating. Like it's nearly impossible to find Beavis and Butthead with the music video segments intact due to copyright issues. Same for a bunch of MST3K episodes. Although those were both after the advent of ubiquitous home recording devices so the vast majority can be found if you look hard enough.

When airing on MTV they could use basically all the music they wanted but no one saw affordable home video coming in the age of VHS.

Beartaco posted:Got any examples on hand? It's not something I noticed growing up. It was usually the films that were broadcast free-to-air. Both major networks, TVNZ and TV3, would often get their films over from Australia, and often scenes involving nudity were hacked out, while swears would get a massive *beep* over it. I vividly remember watching Crimson Tide on TV3 once, probably in 1998 or so, and as soon as Gene Hackman said "gently caress," there was a massive *beep* over it. Luckily, the Simpsons on TV2, was more-or-less unmolested.
