Top cast Edit. Harry Shearer Lenny as Lenny voice …. After Krusty is arrested, Bob takes control of the show, introducing children to elements of high culture. However, Bob's reign is short-lived; Bart Simpson exposes the plan, Krusty is released, and Bob is sent to jail, but not before swearing vengeance on Bart. During his time in prison, Bob won an Emmy for his role on The Krusty the Clown Show , but his award was confiscated by the prison guards.
Bob took part in a prisoner dating service, and went into a relationship with Selma Bouvier , the aunt of Bart. After he was released from prison, he proposed to and married Selma, despite Bart's protests. As part of a scheme to inherit money she has invested in the stock market, Bob attempted to blow Selma up during their honeymoon. However, Bart again foiled the plan and Sideshow Bob returns to prison, exclaiming that as soon as the Democrats were back in office, he and all his criminal buddies would be back on the streets.
After being paroled from prison, Bob targeted Bart directly, threatening him repeatedly and forced the Simpsons to move to Terror Lake as part of the Witness Relocation Program. Bob followed them to their houseboat and, after subduing the family, prepared to kill Bart. He allows a final request, however, and Bart asks to hear the entire score of H.
The delaying tactic lead to Bob's third arrest. Bob was released from prison once again after conservative commentator Birch Barlow convinced the public that Bob was a political prisoner. After being released, he ran for Mayor of Springfield on a Republican Party ticket. He defeated liberal incumbent Joe Quimby in a landslide, and used his power as mayor to propose the demolition of the Simpsons house to make way for an Expressway, and sent Bart back to Kindergarten.
Bart and Lisa later discover that Bob rigged the election, leading to another incarceration. During his prison sentence, he began to develop a growing dislike of television, calling it "a fountain of mindless drivel". While doing community service at an Air Force Base before an annual air show, Bob escaped from his work duty and sneaks into a hangar in the base disguised as an officer, where he found a Nuclear device.
During the air show, coincidentally being attended by the Simpsons family, Bob appeared on the television screens and threatened to blow up Springfield with a nuclear bomb unless the city stops broadcasting all television shows. When confronted by Bart and Lisa, the bomb is discovered to be a dud, and Sideshow Bob instead kidnaps Bart and hijacks the Wright Flier, planning to crash the Flier onto a shack where Krusty was broadcasting an impromptu TV show. However, the plan fails, and Bob returned to prison.
During yet another prison sentence, Bob took advantage of the prison's Christian outreach program, and appeared to be genuinely redeemed. Reverend Lovejoy declared him a changed man and recommended him for a work release opportunity.
Bob is discharged from prison into the care of his brother Cecil, who was Springfield 's chief hydrological and hydrodynamical engineer. However, the scheming Cecil, still smarting over his failed audition for Krusty, tried to frame Bob by sabotaging the Springfield Dam. Bob, Bart, and Lisa together stopped Cecil and saved the town.
However, both brothers were sent to prison despite Bob's genuine innocence. When Krusty announces his retirement due to low ratings, Bob discovered from prison that Krusty has erased all of the early shows featuring Sideshow Bob. Bob is released from prison and developed a plot to kill Krusty. Using his new job as an intercom announcer at Springfield Elementary School , he corners Bart in a shack off the school playground and hypnotized and brainwashed Bart, planned to use him as a suicide bomber during Krusty's final retirement show.
However, when he overhears Krusty express regret about mistreating him, Bob decides to abort his plan, and although he is returned to prison for attempted murder, Krusty thanks him due to the fact that his show's ratings soar back up every time Bob tries to kill him. Sideshow Bob, as a result of his attempted murder, was also originally going to be executed by the Guillotine, but Bob reminded Chief Wiggum that he was supposed to get a trial before committing the execution, causing it to be revoked and spend time in Jail.
After a murder attempt is made on Homer Simpson 's life, Bob was temporarily released from prison to help find the culprit, much to the dismay and horror of Bart and Lisa.
To keep him from trying to commit crimes, the police attach a shock garter to Bob's leg and gives the family a remote that shocks Bob at the push of the button, which proves effective. However, the family, mainly Bart, misuse the purpose of the remote, shocking Bob just for being too smart.
During the course of the case, Bob actually saved Homer after an attempt on his life. When the mystery is solved, he returned to the Simpsons home to murder Bart. However, Bob found that he was "accustomed to Bart's face" and cannot do it. Bob did not return to prison and decided to move to Italy in order to make a fresh start.
After gaining fame for his wine his exceptionally large feet made him a perfect grape crusher , he became the mayor of the town. He married a local woman named Francesca , with whom he has a son named Gino. The Simpson family encountered him by chance after coming to Italy to retrieve a car for Mr. Bob welcomes them with hospitality on the condition that they not reveal his felonious past; however, a drunken Lisa drunken on wine, yes jokes about Bob's criminal deeds, alienating Bob from his citizens.
He, his wife and son swear a vendetta on the Simpsons. On another attempt at Bart 's life, Bob lured the Simpsons family into a fake rib restaurant, and tied the entire family up, planning to kill them with the explosion of an overheating laptop next to a pile of TNT. After Bob misquoted several lines on Shakespeare, Lisa managed to trick him into checking a line from a Shakespeare play on Wikipedia , resulting the laptop to explode on his hands. During the trial, Bob's father, Robert Terwilliger Sr.
This convinced Springfield that in the long-run Bart is ultimately to blame, and they turn against him. As Bart pleads his innocence, Bob takes out a vial labeled nitroglycerin, which Bart snatches and throws out the window, thinking it was an explosive.
The vial was actually Bob's heart medication and he collapsed on the floor, unconscious, and was pronounced dead. In reality, Bob was actually faking his death and put in a temporarily death like state, as his father injected him with a anesthesia. His entire family was assisting him to kill Bart. When a guilty Bart visits his coffin while being led by Cecil, Bob leaped out of the coffin and trapped Bart inside, to be cremated inside the coffin.
The Simpsons family save Bart just in time by blinding Bob with unclaimed ashes. Bob's entire family, including his Italian wife and child, and his brother and parents, were sentenced to an 87 year prison term, and Bob was put in a straitjacket.
Sideshow Bob was briefly seen escaping from prison and visited Krusty the Clown for the week. Bart and Lisa traced Sideshow Bob to a cabin thinking he was prepped up to kill Homer Simpson Homer went missing at Marge's third wedding and thought Sideshow Bob was the culprit due to a clue, keys with the letters "SB" on it, being left in the groom's room.
Krusty also explains that Sideshow Bob couldn't have kidnapped Homer Simpson because Bob was with Krusty the whole day. When Lisa questions him about the keychain, he explains that, although it's nice that they thought of him, the initials don't just pertain to him, and gives a list of people whom "SB" could refer to, including Selma Bouvier, the actual culprit.
Sideshow Bob later arranged to have face-switching plastic surgery done between himself and a fellow inmate, Walt Warren , so when he tried to kill Bart, people would assume that Sideshow Bob was actually still in jail. The plan easily fooled Bart when he suspected Walt of actually being Bob.
Bob took Bart to the Five Corners , planning to kill Bart and have each step of the murder take place in a different state, thus avoiding prosecution because no single step was illegal in itself. However, Walt managed to foil his plan and the police from all five states trapped him.
As mentioned above, he was hired by Krusty by mere coincidence. Krusty took a more sadistic route in order to get more laughs, which in turn made him more successful, but also made Bob grow tired of how he was being treated.
Bob is a self-proclaimed genius, graduate of Yale University, and champion of high culture, which shows in the way he talks and his love for operettas. Bart exposed Bob as the real robber on his TV show, and he was arrested, swearing revenge on Bart.
While in jail, he took part in a prisoner dating service and met Selma Bouvier. His plans were once again foiled by Bart, and Bob was sent back to prison — after that, he started targeting Bart directly, and continued to be outsmarted by him. The episode was written by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, writers who had been Simpsons nerds before getting taken on board with the show. By this time, Bob had come a long way from his season one beginnings. Like Sideshow Bob can sing.
