In tribute to Michael Jackson, The Simpsons will re-air its 1991 episode “Stark Raving Dad,” in which Jackson voiced a 300-pound mental patient who believed that he was the famous singer, EW.com has learned. “Stark Raving Dad,” the season 3 opener, can be seen Sunday at 8 p.m. on Fox. Last Sunday, the animated series aired the music video for “Do The Bartman,” the pop-rap hit that Jackson co-wrote for the 1990 album The Simpsons Sing The Blues, and showed a title card in memory of Jackson. Syndication rights issues hadn’t been resolved by that date to re-broadcast “Dad.”

They wanted to air this episode last week, but couldn’t secure the rights from the syndicators in time, so they put “Do The Bartman” and the “In Memoriam” title card at the front of the other episode instead. If they added the “Do The Bartman” to the start of this episode too, along with the title card, it’d be a perfect “must have” episode.
That is one of the best Simpsons episodes ever. Glad to see that they are doing this. I was wondering if they would.
Lisa it’s your birthday…Happy Birthday Lisa…
Take the new Michael Jackson poll — who should get custody of his kids? Vote here:

They should show the South Park episode of Michael Jackson lol
I think Bubbles should get custody.
What a treat! One of my favorite (and best) episodes of all time is going to air on my birthday… All I have to do is change the lyrics to “Happy Birthday, Lisa” and I’m all set =)
“Lisa it’s your birthday. Happy birthday Lisa.” WOOHOO Can’t wait!!!
“In tribute to Michael Jackson…”
And by “in tribute to MJ” we mean, in order to cash in on his death, cuz obviously the re-run ep will post bigger-than-usual ratings and thus bigger advertising fees.
“Stark Raving Dad” is a classic.

Michael would be happy to have the episode rerun. He LOVED the Simpsons. PS-Bubbles should get custody.
There’s only one legitimate place I’ve found to watch it, the rest seem like scams :-/ You can see it over here though: http://jjpeg.com/watch28015.html
They make you do a little survey but after that it’s good to go
I hope he didn’t diddle the Simpson kids!
