Where to find it uncensored?

The DVD releases are completely uncensored. Season 1 and 2 have a group box set and individual. Those were the only official DVD releases released by FOX as seasons 3 and 4 were MOD DVD releases. Unfortunately, Season 3 was released with stereo sound instead of surround sound. All 4 seasons are uncensored bar a few episodes for some reason.
