J. Loren Pryor

"So lock up your daughters, lock up your wife. Lock up your back doors, run for your life. The man is back in town, don't you mess me around..."

Dr. J. Loren Pyror is the psychiatrist for the school district in which Springfield Elementary School is located.

http://simpsonsnews.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=The_Springfield_Shopper:Redirect Biography http://simpsonsnews.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=The_Springfield_Shopper:Redirect Dr. Pyror is one of the few employees at Springfield Elementary School who seems to actually be qualified in his field. He does have a slight tendency toward gullibility, as Bart easily tricked Pyror into sending him to a school for gifted children. Later, however, Pyror recommended that Bart repeat the fourth grade and refused to back off of his recommendation, in spite of Bart's protests.

Dr. Pyror also seems to be prone to occasional absent-mindedness. When Bart was in kindergarten, Homer and Marge saw him to discuss problems Bart was having with adjusting to school. Pyror said it was due to Bart's "flamboyantly homosexual tendencies," and then corrected himself when he realized he was looking at Milhouse's file instead of Bart's.

Pyror has had a much more uniformly positive influence on Lisa. On the same visit as when he accidentally disclosed the contents of Milhouse's file, Pyror spotted Lisa as a gifted child when she did a complicated puzzle and gave her age as "Three and three-eighths." He told Homer and Marge to nurture her gift. Later, when Lisa went through a rebellious phase, Pyror determined that it was the result of a developmental condition and correctly advised Homer about how to help her through it.

After a several-year absence from the show, Pyror reappears, giving Bart some counseling over his coping of Marge's gray hair.

When Bart's and Lisa's arrangement to prank each other's teachers goes severely wrong, Lisa decides she has to kill Bart and chases him through Springfield Elementary School with a knife. At one point during the chase, Bart ducks into Dr. Pyror's office.
