Character Information
|
Dr. Marvin Monroe is a local psychiatrist who was for a long time considered to have passed away. He comes from Vienna.
History
Monroe was one of the doctors who studied Homer to figure out whether he was the missing link after Homer was captured by Bigfoot hunters.[2]
Monroe hosts his own morning radio show on KBBL where he takes calls from listeners and tries to help them with their problems.[3]
Monroe was a panel guest on Smartline, in a discussion of TV violence.[4]
Supposed death
Although it was never specifically shown Dr. Monroe was considered to have died. He stopped appearing on TV and his business closed down. Many people in Springfield also believed him to be dead because several things had been named after him, such as the Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital[5] and a school gym.[6] His grave is also shown,[7] and Troy McClure reported his death "over the past year".[8] However, several years later, he spontaneously appeared at Marge's book signing, buying a copy of her book The Harpooned Heart. Marge, shocked to see him, said that she thought he was dead. Dr. Monroe explained that he had "been very sick".[9]
Behind the Laughter
Monroe was (initially) retired in Season 7 because voicing the character strained Harry Shearer's throat and, eventually, the voice became too annoying for Matt Groening.[10][11]
