(I accidentally published these out of order) The Simpsons 36 though 40. Stark Raving Dad This episode premiered on September 19th, 1991 as the first episode of the Fall Season. It was followed by a new show, Drexell's Class (a show about a failed corporate raider who is now teaching school) The show ran opposite Top Cops, The Cosby Show and The ABC Thursday Night Movie, The Jewel Of The Nile .  Since this episode features an appearance by Michael Jackson, and the whole child molestation controversy, it doesn't air on Disney+ so I had to watch on an unnamed alternate video provider.
