"Yokel Chords"

The relationship Bart shares with his psychiatrist is reminiscent to the way that Tony Soprano and his psychiatrist form a unique bond, with Bart in depression wanting to see her, and the doctor wanting to see more of Bart. Dr. Stacey Swanson's psychiatrist, voiced by Peter Bogdanovich, parodies Dr. Elliot Kupferberg from The Sopranos, Dr. Melfi's psychiatrist who was also played by Peter Bogdanovich.
