Due to home video, streaming, cable tv always playing the correct version.
I was watching Total recall and the part where Arnold screams SCREW YOU threw me for a loop, because I have memories of him delivering and equally hilarious DIE BENNY!
I tried looking on YouTube and they’re all Screw you. I thought I was going crazy until someone else said they saw Die Benny in one of the comments and people pointed out it must have been the made for tv edit. Which makes sense I remember watching it on abc Saturday prime time movie.
I imagine that this is how a lot of Mandela affects occurred.

Robocop had quite a few on a TV version.
I also remember Running Man being cut to buggery on the telly.

Hey, I still prefer the basic cable version of Scarface, and you don't like it, why don't you try sticking your head up your toilet?

Total Drama Island is an animated show that did this a lot actually... the American Edit censored several scenes, including entire line redubs to literally just cut off a censor bleep instead...

I remember just about any movie on TBS in the late 90s was completely cut to hell. They'd get certain movies and I would just kinda wonder, what's the point? However, I'm not sure what we lost as there's too much.

Hey, I still prefer the basic cable version of Scarface, and you don't like it, why don't you try sticking your head up your toilet? I used to have a dvd that included a mini doc about the craziness of editing it for tv. I told my dad about it and how Bryan de Palma responded to the call from the studio with “Are you crazy?” My dad, who never cussed, came back with “He should have said ‘Are you ******* crazy?’”

In National Lampoon's vacation, I never thought "f*** yo mama!" was as good of a line as "what do I look like, Christopher Columbo?"

Die Hard 2 had an incredible TV edit where Bruce Willis’s swears are dubbed over by a dude who sounds nothing like him.

Mallrats aired on ABC's Weekend movie.
And whoever they got to redub some of Jay's lines sounds nothing like him.
Fat Chronic Blunt gets changed to FAT KARATE PUNCH.

I love that old lady in the running man. Over here they just cut her last line out. Buzzsaw's death scene gets trimmed as well as the fight in the barbed wire arena with Captain freedom and the stunt double.

There was an edit if Apocalypse Now that I remember seeing a few times. They had someone sub over some Brandi’s lines-that sounded absolutely nothing like him.

Seems this topic comes up every other week, but I never get tired of it.
- Sentimental favorite, as always: "Flake off!" from Footloose, or maybe Dirty Dancing on TBS. Because it became a week-long meme when we saw it on our vacation.
- Something something stranger in Alps something something Mr. Falcon something Monday to Friday plane something something CGI bras in Showgirls something...
- The Fly, as seen on TBS or TNT, once cut out all of Brundle's final transformation. So you see humanoid Brundle one moment in the climax, then fly monster Brundle the next.
- Some stations got real lazy and just muted out curse words. Carrie on TBS/TNT, for instance. Yet for the longest time they neglected the "Carrie White eats shit!" on the school door.
- Grease 1 and 2...hoo boy... recalling the ABC airings in the 80s in particular...skipped scenes, skips in the dialogue and songs...in G2, you lose ALL of Reproduction so you literally see the students enter the classroom, then leave next second.
- Body Slam on daytime TV used a ring bell to edit out swear words. Yet one print kept the original crowd in the Ring Talk audience, one of whom had Billy Barty's favorite insult on a sign. (this changed to an alternate take with the sign saying "WIMP".)
- Santa's Slay...violence, cursing (muted), and the gay stereotype police officer somehow goes from being Toby Caulk to Dick Zucker.
- I remember a WPIX airing of Nightmare on Elm Street 4 that pixellated nudity.
If the OP meant "forgotten" edits....
- Not profanity, but Cockney Stiletto has been pretty much abandoned for the original Italian accented voice in Danger Mouse on streaming or physical.
- Also not profanity, but the 2000 prints of MTM's dramas (Hill Street Blues, Remington Steele, St. Elsewhere, and White Shadow) are now a bit rarer. These ones cut out the MTM logo in favor of 20th Century Fox's logo, but most reruns and official media keep the MTM ending now!
- Usually the cursing is all intact these days on A Christmas Story, but I remember older prints muted "son of a bitch" in the Ovaltine scene.
- Streaming, the "blonde loincloth" version of Splash on Disney + is gone.
- E.T. 20th Edition.
- The two part version of The Raccoons and the Lost Star seems to be the rare version now.
- Similarly I doubt we see much of the edited season 1 episodes from Disney Channel, nor the S2 ones that still use the Steve Lunt Run With Us.
- Are the Special Edition TOS episodes of Star Trek still out there, or have they been Spielberged?
On the other hand, if you meant ORIGINAL lines and scenes lost to time...
- Star Wars original trilogy. Just...STAR WARS ORIGINAL TRILOGY.
- The de-fired Beavis and Butt-heads now being "canon"
- Seems most Absolutely Fabulous releases these days are the ones with no Wheel's on Fire and other edits (Edina quoting Madonna, for instance)
- It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown, officially, will never use the original print where Peppermint Patty blames Charlie Brown for ruining the football game.
- If Fat Albert ever resurfaces and gets to Busted, they will usually use the one with toned down swearing.
- Good luck seeing the original end credits/closing logo to the series finale of St. Elsewhere on any official media now.
- If Game Show Network or others have not aired certain episodes of Fremantle-owned game shows when they kept "non-PC" words or clues intact, good luck ever seeing the uncensored version again, as Buzzr censors or skips episodes now. Doubly so for shows that have not been seen till now, like the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour.
- If your nostalgic station has updated/DVD quality prints of Paramount Television shows, don't expect to hear all the original music. It's highly unlikely you'll ever get the "pure" versions of certain WKRP episodes officially. Same for other examples; any DiC Nintendo cartoon for example.
- This may happen to The Raccoons and the Lost Star, as the streaming (in Canada) version edits out all the John Schneider songs and redubs his lines.
- Official releases of Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers will all have the remade opening and end credits.

One that I remember is from Young Guns. In the real version when they’re in the house at the end and surrounded Billy the Kid yells out to “Colonel Shithead”…but in the TV version he called him “Colonel Chilihead”

Mallrats aired on ABC's Weekend movie. And whoever they got to redub some of Jay's lines sounds nothing like him. Fat Chronic Blunt gets changed to FAT KARATE PUNCH. ABC just did it themselves without bothering to involve any from View Askew. That’s why it’s just randos doing the dubs. When they did the TV edit for The Big Lebowski, the Cohen’s said “It’s not gonna match, so just say whatever you want”. Which is how we got “Stranger in the Alps” and Tara Reid “I’ll slurp your Coke for $1000”.

In the original airing of Team Homer Homer's stolen Oscar has the name Dr. Haing S Ngor crossed out. Dr. Ngor won an Academy Award for playing a Cambodian photographer in The Killing Fields and he himself had escaped the Khmer Rouge. He was murdered after the episode initially aired and the crossed out name was changed to Don Ameche.
