Just thought I'd let some of you guys know of this special to make a difference.

I'm glad it's back again.

I always enjoy watching; when famous people give up their time to something serious and important as cancer and finding a cure for it, it warms my heart.

 

Also, I always love watching the shorts Homer Simpson stars in with him getting screened for cancer. Really cool and funny.

I still miss the MDA Telethon.

The Stand Up To Cancer specials remind me of "Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue" from 1990, which was broadcast on...ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Nickelodeon, USA Network, TBS, TNT, BET, PBS (I think), and several independent stations (including WGN, WWOR, WPIX, and KTLA) in the US; CBC, CTV, and Global in Canada; BBC and ITV in the UK; Seven, Nine, and Ten in Australia; and American Forces Network as well as other countries.

 

But remember: The inaugural SU2C in 1998 was just on ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox with more to come in the later specials.
