Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist is an adult animated series that originally ran on Comedy Central from May 28, 1995, to December 24, 1999, starring Jonathan Katz, H. Jon Benjamin, and Laura Silverman.

When listeners first hear the sparkling intro of “Hey Jealousy,” it’s easy to be swept away by the upbeat guitar jangle and infectious melody. But at the song’s heart is something far more complicated: a portrait of longing, regret, and fragile hope.
Bridgers, with her haunting vocals and intricate lyrical palette, emerged as the perfect companion for a time that felt suspended between grief and uncertainty. Her music is as much a salve for teenage heartache as it is a balm for the more nuanced ache of adulthood, where the weight of memory often intersects with the raw immediacy of the present.
