576i Picture format?

The article says that the earlier seasons were released in the 576i (ie PAL) picture format? Surely this cannot be true? I live in England (a PAL region) and the version we've always had broadcast on our TVs has been the NTSC version converted to PAL - this is true of all three major broadcasters of the show. Likewise, the official DVDs were NTSC converted to PAL. The resolution has always been low, with bad colors, and 30 frames per second - indicative of NTSC. If there was a PAL version produced then I'm sure broadcasters would definitely have used it? This has to be a mistake? Grand Dizzy (talk) 13:41, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rarely leads to punishment?

Bart's rebellious, bad boy nature, which underlies his misbehavior and rarely leads to any punishment, This could only have written by someone who has never watched a single episode! Bart nearly always gets punished in the end and we see him being punished at the start of every episode!!! John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 04:30, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

And its quite a running gag that Homer has Bart on a choke hold when the boy's misbehavior angers him. Dimadick (talk) 20:51, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
