HOMER AND BART GET CHOKED UP ON "THE SIMPSONS" SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, ON FOX

Paul Rudd and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Make Guest Voice Appearances

When Homer inadvertently humiliates Bart in front of a stadium crowd, Marge 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 when Bart learns that the therapy sessions have transformed Homer into a pushover, he 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 in the "Love Is a Many Strangled Thing" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Aug. 21 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
