Matt Groening's multi-generation-spanning animated sitcom, The Simpsons, is no stranger to ruffling feathers, or so to speak. Over the years, Fox has always stood by The Simpsons and continued airing episodes, regardless of the controversy. But, things have changed. The Simpsons is now under the Disney umbrella and streaming on Disney+, and now, the long-running cartoon just removed its first old episode in quite a while.
Why is Disney+ banning a certain The Simpsons episode?
Earlier this month, The Simpsons made waves when it announced that an upcoming episode will feature Waylon Smithers finally finding the love of his life. After "Portrait of a Lackey on Fire" aired last November 21, 2021, The Simpsons currently finds itself in hot water once again.
