Episode Cuts

• "Homer Defined": In the original airing of this episode, Mr. Burns has a line in which he uses the word "butt", and Bart has a line using the word "ass". For later airings, these lines were re-recorded, so that Burns uses "ass" and Bart uses "butt". This DVD uses the altered version.
