| − | '''Sideshow Bob Terwilliger''' is voiced by [[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]. His full name is Robert Underdunk Terwilliger. In the episodes he is featured in he is repeatedly the target of the rake slapstick gag, (That is, stepping on a section of rake causing it to fly up and hit him in the face,) Causing him to declare rakes his greatest foe "besides Bart."

| − | Sideshow Bob is a criminal who appeared on the Simpsons for 15 episodes. He was originally [[Krusty the Clown|Krusty's]] sidekick, but, after repeated humiliation decided to frame him. He failed and was sent to jail where he continues to try and break out and take revenge on [[Bart]], who revealed his plot. But soon after Bob got out of prison thanks to Selma, who was dating him through a prison dating system. Saying that she hasn't found love among the people following the law. Soon after they married, he tried to kill his wife Selma. But he was stopped, once again, by Bart Simpson. Bob then got out of jail and tried to kill Bart again, but failed (this episode introduced the joke with him getting hit the face with rakes(he took repeated injuries that entire episode,the other injuries in that episode include; getting the back his head slammed into speed bumbs, Homer's hot coffee getting poured on his face, being underneath the Simpson's car when it was driven a cactus patch, and getting walked all over by a parade of several dozen people and 6-14 elephants)).
| |
| − | Bob then ran under the Republican ticket in the election for Mayor of Springfield. He schemed to get elected, but was exposed by Bart and Lisa. ("[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]"). His next scheme involved stealing a nuclear bomb, and threatening to detonate it unless Springfield got rid of all TV (although he complained that he should made more demands). This was foiled by Bart and Lisa, but Bob escaped and tried to kill Krusty in a "kamakize" attack, which failed miserably. In Bob's next appearance, despite Bart's suspicions, Bob wasn't up to anything, and teamed up with Bart and Lisa to stop Bob's brother, but Bob was sent to jail anyways. This episode is likely out of continuity since Bob actually saved Bart's live here, and Bart later saved him, since Bob shows a desire to kill Bart in later episodes. In his next appearance he tried to kill Krusty again by hypnotizing Bart to blow himself up and Krusty. Bob forgave Krusty he found out that Krusty regretted abusing, and Krusty chimp rid of the bomb Bart would use. This episode is alos likely out of continuity, since Bob is alive in later episodes. In his next appearance, Bob is released from jail to help tract down a killer attempting to murder Homer. To keep him from attacking Bart (Bob reverted back to wanting to kill him), an electric shock device was put on Bob, and Bart could (and did), shock Bob whenever he wanted. Bob successfully tracked down the killer, and then tried to kill Bart and again. He got rid of the remote to shock him, but just he was about to kill Bart, Bob couldn't bring himself to do it, "having grown accustom to Bart's face." Bob then left, but was electrocuted when a pair of birds walked all over the remote to shock him.

Finally, he snapped and framed Krusty for armed robbery at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]. He took over his show, making it more upmarket by introducing culture and reading ''[[The Vicomte de Bragelonne|Man in the Iron Mask]]''. Although the show was critically acclaimed, his reign was short-lived, as [[Bart Simpson]] exposed his plan and landed him in jail.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Krusty Gets Busted|episodelink=Krusty Gets Busted |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Kogen, Jay; Wolodarsky, Wallace|network=Fox |airdate=1990-04-29 |season=1 |number=12}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once his true character is revealed, Bob takes the position of [[villain|Evil Genius]] in the series. Typical Sideshow Bob centered episodes involve Bob being released from prison and acting out a cunning revenge plan, which is foiled by Bart and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]. Frequently such plans involve attempting to kill someone.

Bob follows, and after he apprehends the rest of the family, attempts to kill Bart. As Bart's final request, he sings him the entire score of ''[[H.M.S. Pinafore]]''. The distraction leads to Bob's arrest.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Cape Feare|episodelink=Cape Feare |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Vitti, Jon; Moore, Rich|network=Fox |airdate=1993-10-07 |season=5 |number=83}}</ref> He then rigged the Springfield Mayoral election,<ref>{{cite episode |title=Sideshow Bob Roberts|episodelink=Sideshow Bob Roberts |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh, Kirkland, Mark|network=Fox |airdate=1994-10-09 |season=6 |number=108}}</ref> and planned to blow Springfield up with a [[nuclear bomb]] unless the city stopped broadcasting television.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming|episodelink=Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming|series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Feresten, Spike; Polcino, Dominic|network=Fox |airdate=1995-10-26 |season=7 |number=137}}</ref> After this, Bob did genuinely become redeemed, and instead his brother Cecil attempts to commit a crime. Cecil harbored resentment for Bob becoming Krusty's sidekick instead of him, and tried to frame him for embezzlement by sabotaging the Springfield Dam. Bob and Bart together foiled his plan and saved the town, but both brothers ended up in prison due to [[Chief Wiggum]]'s stupidity.<ref name=bfas/>

| |
| − | Sideshow Bob first appeared in the background of a scene in the [[The Simpsons (season 1)|season one]] episode "[[The Telltale Head]]". In that appearance, his design was more simple and his hair was round in shape. His first major appearance was in season one's penultimate episode "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]". Bob's design was updated for "Krusty Gets Busted", and the animators tried to redo his scenes in "The Telltale Head" with the re-design, but did not have enough time.<ref name="MooreTTH">{{cite video | people=Moore, Rich|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "The Telltale Head"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> The script for "Krusty Gets Busted" called for [[James Earl Jones]] to voice Bob, but the producers instead went with ''[[Frasier]]'' actor [[Kelsey Grammer]].<ref name="BirdKGB">{{cite video | people=Bird, Brad|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Krusty Gets Busted"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Bob did not say anything during the first half of "Krusty Gets Busted" because the character always spoke with a slide whistle and when he finally did speak, it would be a shock to hear Grammer's voice.<ref name="JeanKGB">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Krusty Gets Busted"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Grammer used his impression of [[Ellis Rabb]], a man that Grammer had once worked for, for Bob's voice.<ref name="Grammer">{{cite video | people=Grammer, Kelsey|year=2006|title=The Simpsons season 8 DVD commentary for the episode "Brother From Another Series"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> For [[The Simpsons (season 3)|season three]]'s "[[Black Widower]]", the writers decided to have Bob return to get revenge on Bart for foiling his plan in "Krusty Gets Busted". They took the idea of the [[Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner|Coyote chasing the Road Runner]], and had Bob always inserting himself into Bart's life.<ref name="JeanBW">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2003|title=The Simpsons season 3 DVD commentary for the episode "Black Widower"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> However, he did not appear in every season because the writers were not always able to think of reasons to bring Bob back.<ref name="GroeningKGB">{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Krusty Gets Busted"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

| − | [[Brad Bird]] first designed Bob for "Krusty Gets Busted". As the episode's animation progessed he made Bob sleeker, more urbane and refined, and worked with Grammer's voice.<ref name="BirdKGB"/> For "Black Widower", [[David Silverman]] updated the model to reflect the animation of Bird.<ref name="SilvermanBW">{{cite video | people=Silverman, David|year=2003|title=The Simpsons season 3 DVD commentary for the episode "Black Widower"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Despite common fan belief that Bob was named after Terwilliger Boulevard in [[Portland, Oregon]], he was actually named after the character Dr. Terwilliker from the film ''[[The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1565538/20070725/story.jhtml|title='Simpsons' Trivia, From Swearing Lisa To 'Burns-Sexual' Smithers|accessdate=2007-07-29|date=[[2007-07-26]]|author=Carroll, Larry|publisher=[[MTV]]}}</ref>

| − | ===Development===
| |
| − | In nineteen seasons of ''The Simpsons'', Sideshow Bob has been heavily featured in nine episodes. Kelsey Grammer initially thought that Bob would be a one-time character, and calls him "the most popular character I've ever played."<ref name="Grammer"/> The writers believe that Grammer has a great voice and try to create something for him to sing in each episode he appears in.<ref name="JeanBW"/> Grammer usually comes in for table readings, although when he cannot, Greg Berger stands in for him.<ref name="JeanCF">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Cape Feare"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Former Executive producer [[David Mirkin]] found Grammer a joy to direct as he was very funny, but noted that he hates doing the evil Sideshow Bob laughs.<ref name="Mirkin">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 6 DVD commentary for the episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> A rule for the early episodes that featured Bob was that there had to be a recap of his evil deeds in case the viewers did not remember them. The concept was dropped in later episodes.<ref name="Weinstein">{{cite video | people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2006|title=The Simpsons season 8 DVD commentary for the episode "Brother From Another Series"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

| − | Sideshow Bob's theme, which is used whenever Bob gets out of prison, was first used in the [[The Simpsons (season 5)|season five]] episode "[[Cape Feare]]", Bob's third episode. It is based on the score of the movie ''[[Cape Fear (1962 film)|Cape Fear]]'', which was composed by [[Elmer Bernstein]].<ref name="JeanCF"/> The musical score for "Cape Feare" earned composer [[Alf Clausen]] an [[Emmy Award]] nomination for "Outstanding Dramatic Underscore - Series" in 1994.<ref>*{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php |title=Primetime Emmy Awards Advanced Search|publisher=Emmys.org|accessdate=2007-10-17}}</ref> Bob's prisoner number is often 24601, which is [[Jean Valjean]]'s prisoner number in ''[[Les Miserables]]''.<ref name="Reiss">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2003|title=The Simpsons season 3 DVD commentary for the episode "Black Widower"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Another trademark for Bob is to step on rakes, a joke that first appeared in "Cape Feare". In that episode, Bob stepped on nine consecutive rakes, which the writers added to fill up time.<ref name="JeanCF"/> The sequence has become known as the "rake joke" and has been referred to as being "genius in its repetitive stupidity".<ref name="EW"/>

He is voiced by [[David Hyde Pierce]], who played [[Frasier Crane]]'s brother [[Niles Crane|Niles]] in ''Frasier'', and Bob and Cecil's interactions were based on Nile's and Frasier's.<ref name="Keeler"/> Cecil is set to reappear in "[[Funeral for a Fiend]]" in [[The Simpsons (season 19)|season 19]], along with their previously unseen father, who will be played by [[John Mahoney]].<ref name="Futon">{{cite news | author = | title = Season 19 Information | publisher = The Futon Critic | date = [[2007-07-22]] | url = http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070722fox06| accessdate=2007-07-22}}</ref> It will be a ''Frasier'' reunion, as Mahoney played [[Martin Crane|the father]] of Grammer and Pierce's characters in the series.<ref name=Frasierreunion>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a75660/frasier-cast-to-reunite-for-simpsons.html|title=''Frasier'' cast to reunite for ''Simpsons''|date = [[2007-09-14]] |author=Dadds, Kimberley |accessdate=2007-10-15|publisher=Digital Spy}}</ref> Bob also has a wife named Francesca (voiced by [[Maria Grazia Cucinotta]]) and a son named Gino, both of whom were introduced in the [[The Simpsons (season 17)|season 17]] episode "[[The Italian Bob]]".<ref name="TIB"/>
