The Simpsons is an American animated television series that premiered on Fox on December 17, 1989 after becoming just animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. The show follows Homer Simpson, his family and a wide variety of characters in Springfield through all sorts of quirky antics. The show was a massive success since it premiered and continues to air new episodes to this day and has evolved into a pop culture phenomenon for the then struggling network. However, several scenes and snippets have been cut or trimmed out of episodes and these scenes have become lost over time.
