When was the Michael Jackson Simpsons episode rebroadcast on Fox?”
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.
The death of Michael Jackson on Thursday has prompted Fox to do something with its “American Idol” franchise that it has never done before. The network announced it will rebroadcast its two-hour Michael Jackson themed top 13 performance episode on Monday night at 8 p.m., marking the first time in the show’s eight-year history that it has repeated a taping. News of the rerun came at the end of Thursday’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” courtesy of host Cat Deely. “In the light of today’s news, I have a very important announcement,” she told the live audience. “In the eight year history of ‘American Idol,’ Fox has never rebroadcast an episode. But, on Monday at 8/7 central, you’ll get another opportunity to see this year’s top 13 Michael Jackson special.” The original episode aired on March 10 with each of the 13 finalists performing a song from the King of Pop’s extensive catalog. Below is a list of what each of the contestants sang.
