Last week we asked you whether Dr. Marvin Monroe was Dead or Alive.
America you voted and here’s how you voted.
With. OMG 50% of your votes,
it’s a tie!
America, you think Dr. Marvin Monroe is ….
Dead and Alive!
I guess you are both right and wrong.
Voicing Monroe strained Harry Shearer’s throat, so the character was discontinued. Monroe was never explicitly killed off, but allusions to his “death” appear throughout the series, such as the Dr. Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital mentioned in “Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two),” the 138th episode retrospective, a glimpse of his gravestone in “Alone Again, Natura-diddily,” and a school gym named after him.
Despite this, he reappears in “Diatribe of a Mad Housewife” to purchase a copy of Marge’s novel “The Harpooned Heart”, stating simply that he’s “…been very ill” when asked about his absence by Marge.
Vote for your choice in the poll question to the right. The poll will be open until Midnight of next Thursday so vote as often as you like. I’ll give you the poll results and the answer to the question, Dead or Alive? next Friday. See last week’s results now by scrolling down.
