Sideshow Bob (Kelsey Grammer)
Final Thoughts – This episode opened the door for the support characters to have their own episode with the Simpsons just being part of it, we also get the introduction of the nemesis of Bart in Sideshow Bob who will become his enemy for seasons to come. I believe this opened the door to have any character in the spotlight outside the main family.
Rating 5/5
