About Angela Expertise I`m really good at answering questions on quotes from "The Simpsons." For example, "Oh, they have the internet on computers now." comes from episode named "Das Bus." But, I mainly focus on quotes from the main character of the show, Homer Simpson. I`m also good at finding out what episodes come from what season and I know a lot about the characters and guest stars. In other words, I`m a real good expert on "The Simpsons," and even if I can`t give you an answer from the top of my head, I`ll be sure to find it for you.
Experience I've been watching this show ever since it's been on except when it was on "The Tracey Ullman Show." But I do have experience when it comes to season 1 all the way to today.
Question How exactly did Dr. Marvin Monroe die? In which episode did this vague incident occur? Thank you.
Answer There was never an episode featuring Dr. Marvin Monroe's death. After playing a recurring role in the first couple of seasons, the writers of The Simpsons simply stopped using the character. In the episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two," the hospital Mr. Burns stayed at was named Dr. Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital. Finally, in "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" it is finally revealed that Monroe is intended to be dead.
HOWEVER, in season 15's Diatribe of a Mad Housewife, Dr. Marvin Monroe re-appears and mentions he had a long illness that kept him from being visible this last decade or so. The writers have not gone into this any further, so it's very uncertain whether Monroe actually died or if this is a joke the writers are playing on us. Time will tell, as usual. The original "killing off" was probably because Harry Shearer did not like doing Monroe's raspy voice.
