Dr. Marvin Monroe was a local counselor who was for a long time considered to have passed on, until he returned, revealing to have 'been very sick.' Homer sold the family TV after seeing an ad for Dr. Monroe's Family Therapy Center during a boxing match at Moe's. The ad claimed 'family bliss or double your money back'. The Simpson family was asked to complete a series of tests, including drawing your worst fear of which everyone drew Homer, except Homer himself who drew a random doodle. Unable to reach the Simpson family, Monroe turned to the shock therapy method: the Simpsons were strapped in chairs with electrodes attached to them, and controls which they could use to shock other family members. However, it got out of hand and the whole town lost power. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)
