== Episode Cuts ==
*"Bart the General": The opening shot of the Simpson house is missing some of the opening credits. (The original credits remain intact on the Amazon Video and iTunes releases of this episode)
*"The Telltale Head": The most notable edit comes from this episode, which removed a part of Bart's speech to the mob about "taking the town's heritage for granted". This is only the case with the Region 1 releases in North and South America, as all other international releases leave this scene intact. (See the references of this episode for more information)
== Notes ==
*In the Region 2 and Region 4 releases, the episode "Moaning Lisa" is on Disc 2 and the episodes "The Crepes of Wrath" and "Krusty Gets Busted" are on Disc 3. There is also no commentary on the "Some Enchanted Evening" deleted scenes.
*The Region 2 box art has The Simpsons trademarked logo written in yellow rather than red in Region 1. The spine also features the whole bodies of Bart and Lisa rather than just their heads.
*The episodes "There's No Disgrace Like Home" and "Krusty Gets Busted" feature the original 20th Century Fox Television logo from when the episodes originally aired, while the others have the 1992 20th Television logo.
*In Region 2, "Moaning Lisa" is on Discs 2 and 3. The reason why this occurs is unknown.
