The below roundup features just some of the jokes viewers have been missing out on in the meantime.
Why are the old#TheSimpsonsepisodes on#DisneyPlusonly available in widescreen??
Its literally removing a ton of the original animation.
Its that level of detail that makesTheSimpsonsone of the most rewatchable shows on TV.

The box is visible later in the scene, but just barely.
You cant even see the small set of stairs needed to climb inside!
Homer at Bat (Season 3, Episode 17)
Well, Mr. Burns had done it.
He made a bet against a rival power plant that his softball team would beat Shelbyville in the finals.
In fact, your right fielder has been dead for 130 years.
Sadly, modern viewers are missing out on the glory of a full nine players on the team.
In both episodes, former guest stars who have been snuck into the background are now cropped out.
In the cropped 16:9 version, the joke is completely lost.

Thanks to cropping, the whole sequence is comedically mangled.
His boss explains the situation by saying, Maybe single people eat crackers … We dont know.
Frankly, we dont wanna know.
Suddenly the joke has less of a bite, and the comedic rule of threes becomes a paltry two.
