For Season 19, The Chills of Sideshow Bob Still Arise

[tequila101 · 7/10 · 9 August 2010]

For Season 19, Funeral for Fiend with the masterminding, cunning and sadistic Sideshow Bob is another great chilling, comedy which I still love. Man even When he disguised as Wes Doobner with the line "Hello.... Simpsons". That gives me the creeps.

The Next Sideshow Bob Plot sets out as The Simpsons family buy cable T.V and they skip every commercial to watch all their favorites shows in one piece. Though one night, Marge gets a terrible vision of a commercial man telling her to watch the commercials and she does so. After they gets sucked into a Wes Doobner Commercial. (Side Show Bob disguising as Wes) They then go to the restaurant *Trap* and Side Show Bob has them trapped once again. Then throughout the entire episode it lacks though it still manages to have an excellent plot.

This episode is good. I suggest you try it 7/10

Surprisingly Great Episode!!

Funeral for a Fiend is an amazing episode. There have been 8 other Season 19 episodes, 3 bad, 3 okay, 1 good, 2 really good episodes. This is in the really good category. I liked seeing Bob's mom and dad for the first time. I also got to see people from Bob's family that I haven't seen in a while, Like Cecil, Bob's Italian Wife, and Gino. For some reason I feel kinda bad for Bob. He has tried to kill a little boy but he can't kill him. A little boy?!? Then Bart makes fun of Bob. I know he's a maniac, but he's really a very intelligent person, and it seems silly that he can't kill Bart. Now let talk more about the episode and less about Sideshow Bob. This episode was suprisingly great. Before I watched this season, I thought that Eternal Moonlight of the Simpson Mind was going to be the only really good episode, but I was wrong. There have been two really good episodes so far ( Midnight Towboy, Funeral for a Fiend ), and I haven't even watched Eternal Moonlight of the Simpson Mind yet. In all, I give this episode a 8.4 out of 10.

An episode of two halves

The return of Sideshow Bob is always an event for 'The Simpsons', and in this episode he apparently dies, causing lots of people to change their views on him. Krusty's in particular is great.

It's an episode that for me rather ran out of steam a little at the end, and that's a shame, because the premise was great.
