MeTV Celebrates M*A*S*H 50th Anniversary with The Best by Farr; The Simpsons Season 33 Coming to Disney+
On September 17, 1972, a brand-new TV series hit the airwaves at CBS. Based on the multi-Academy Award nominated 1970 movie, which was itself based on a 1968 novel, people weren't sure what to expect from M*A*S*H. After all, movies being adapted to TV shows don't always keep the spirit when they move on to the small screen. What followed was a cultural phenominon that made careers, still holds the record for most-watched finale of any TV series and continues to be rewatched and loved half a century later. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of M*A*S*H, MeTV will be showing episodes hand-picked by Maxwell Klinger himself, Jamie Farr! Jamie's favorite episodes will be shown all week as The Best by Farr. Then the celebration continues during the Sunday Block Party showcasing more of the best episodes of M*A*S*H starting Sunday at 12P | 11C. Look for special M*A*S*H trivia on MeTV all week long! The party starts TONIGHT - Monday, September 12 at 7P | 6C.
Season 33 of the hit animated series The Simpsons will stream October 5 on Disney+. In celebration of Disney+ Day, "Welcome to the Club," a new short from The Simpsons, was released on the streaming service. In the latest short, it's Disney+ Day and Lisa Simpson has her heart set on the ultimate princess transformation. After meeting some of Disney's most notorious villains, Lisa is surprised to learn being bad just might be more fun. "Welcome to the Club" is the latest in a collection of shorts from The Simpsons created exclusively for Disney+ that highlight the service's marquee brands and most popular content. "When Billie Met Lisa" was nominated for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program at this year's Emmy(R) Awards. The previously released shorts "Maggie Simpson in 'The Force Awakens from Its Nap,'" "The Good, The Bart, and The Loki" and "The Simpsons in Plusaversary" are currently available on Disney+. All of these and more can be found in The Simpsons collection on the streaming service: https://www.disneyplus.com/franchise/the-simpsons
