Solar_Crimson 02/28/23 1:33:52 PM #1:	Not in syndication, not on Disney+, nor even on any new DVDs released after 2019. This is in response to the Leaving Neverland documentary that released that year, and ever since, the Simpsons showrunners have did all they could to scrub this episode out of existence, at least through the legal channels, because they felt that Michael Jackson used that episode to groom children. A shame too, because it has the birthday song to Lisa in it, which is a heartwarming classic moment, but newer viewers are going to miss that. --- 11/8/2022 - The day the Blue Wall intercepted the Red Wave. <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:971863511] in TIL: The M...
