Doesn't Matt Groening have ties to Jeffery Epstein? Why not pull all the episodes? LOL I'll pretend you said all the episodes after season 10. In related news, Treehouse of Horror episodes will now be part of Freeform's 31 Days of Halloween. (If you can find them amidst all the Tim Burton and Tim Burton wannabes...) Conspiracy theory time...now I am wondering...is being because of Finding Neverland just a cover-up? MJ DOES sing a song in the episode...did he write it? Cause Sonic 3's issues have shown us that clearning many MJ tunes and compositions is a monumental task. Michael didn’t do the actual singing though; that was voice actor Kipp Lennon. And as it’s been stated, the episode appeared on DVD and streaming services with no issue. |

Well there you are then. Can't blame a guy for cooking up conspiracy theories...
So the issue is...MJ is voice acting? That it glorifies him as a nice guy (in someone else's body, mind you)? He hangs around grade schoolers?
Or it's just the most visible MJ Simpsons moment (probably)?
Again I say give it the disclaimer treatment if you feel you must feel shame including it.

That's also an apples and oranges situation because MJ was involved in the creation of the episode instead of being some random nutjob. And it was James L. Brooks' decision with his own show, not a blanket ban.

So Disney+ is up on my Roku so of course I had to fire up a episode. Few notes from first viewing at 2AM so bear with me.
1.) Stark Raving Dad is NOT on here. So I was wrong there.
2.) Unfortunately the show is only up in it's HD format. There seems to be no way to change it to 4:3.
3.) The commentaries aren't up yet but I'm sure it'll change soon.

I actually didn't consider that it might've been the choice of the Simpsons creators to pull the Michael Jackson episode from Disney+. I'm ok with it if that's the case. The Simpsons is more or less Matt Groening's life's work, so he does indeed get to make that call. |

Matt “I flew on planes and was friends with Jeff Epstein” Groening doesn’t really have a leg to stand on. It’s come out recently there might be some really scary skeletons in his closet. As much as I disagree with the call, James L. Brooks I can understand making the decision. And I believe it was Brooks who said Nope |

Yeah this has nothing to do with Disney. Because there would be so, so much else not on plus if that were the case.

Looks like Simpsons isn't the only show with removed episodes due to a problematic star. Andi Mack's episode list doesn't have any episodes involving Stoney Westmoreland, the actor who played the grandfather. This is due to him being fired for pedophilia and trying to plan a liaison with a thirteen year old boy.  |

Damn, so much devil's advocacy in here.
Can we just be happy the Hank Scorpio episode is on-demand now? Arguably the greatest idea for an episode of any show ever.

Oh my god, that was honestly the first episode I booted up. Homer: Got any sugar around here? Hank: Sugar? Sure. Here...sorry it's not in packets. Want some cream? Homer: Ehhh...nooooooooooo! |
