The Simpsons (1989 - Present): Love Is a Many Strangled Thing

When Homer (Dan Castellaneta) inadvertently humiliates Bart (Nancy Cartwright) in front of a stadium crowd, Marge (Julie Kavner) encourages Homer to enroll in a fathering enrichment class taught by therapist Dr. Zander (guest voice Rudd). Shocked to learn that Homer often strangles Bart for mischievous behavior, Dr. Zander conducts a series of treatments with the help of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (guest-voicing as himself) to teach Homer what it feels like to be young and small. But the therapy sessions transform Homer into a pushover, Bart takes advantage of Homer and becomes a school bully. Hoping therapy could also cure Bart of his bullying habits, Marge enlists Dr. Zander’s help to patch their relationship.
