    Is Stark Raving Dad back in rotation? I noticed it's available to purchase on YouTube again.

    Wow. Nobody knows. I thought someone would give me an answer. I mean The Simpsons is a very popular show in first-run and rerun Syndication. I thought I would have gotten an answer by now.

    It's not on Disney+, at least. Season 1 episode 3, right?

    Wikipedia also has this unsourced info:
    Stark Raving Dad - Wikipedia

    As of right now it's not available on Prime either.

    It's not on Disney+ so I guess no.

    Season 3 episode 1

    In March 2019, following the release of the documentary film Leaving Neverland, which details allegations against Jackson of child sexual assault, "Stark Raving Dad" was pulled from circulation. Jackson was previously tried and acquitted of child sexual abuse charges in 2005 and denied any wrongdoing up until his death.[47][48] Brooks told The Wall Street Journal: "This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn't allow them to remain. I'm against book-burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we're allowed to take out a chapter."[47] Jean said he believed Jackson had used the episode to groom boys for sexual abuse.[49] The episode was also omitted from the streaming service Disney+ followed by the post-2019 reprint of the season 3 DVD.[50] Slate journalist Isaac Butler criticized the removal as "an offense against art and the medium of television, and part of a growing trend of corporations using their consolidated power and the death of physical media to do damage control by destroying works by troublesome artists".[51]

    Brooks & Groening’s justification for removing it has always been head scratching. I guess according to them, these people were never accused.

    Dustin Hoffman
    John K.
    Charlie Rose

    The DVD commentary for this episode describes the logistics of using MJ's voice.

    Dustin Hoffman and John K. were accused of being pedophile rapists.
