I was watching an episode I taped; the one where Maude Flanders dies.
They showed some of tombstones in the graveyard. (Bleeding Gums Murphy,
Snowball etc).
To my surprise one of them was Dr. Marvin Monroe.
What happened to him?
And what was the story-line.
I thought I had seen all the episodes.

Just watched the tape half an hour ago.

Never been to this group.
My server only hold 3 days of messages.
Didn't see it asked.
Wanted to know.

What happened?

What kind of nerd keeps track of how many times a person asks a certain
question?

Since you know exactly how many times it's been asked, why not figure out
how to cut & paste the answer into your otherwise useless message?

They never showed it. They just got rid of Monroe because the writers hated
him and it was a pain on Harry Shearer's throat to do it.

He was obviously joking about this being the 500th time... anyone who's read
ATS for more than a couple weeks has seen it asked at least a thousand times.
