Funeral for a Fiend
Episode #KABF01

Vendetta is a dish best served with barbecue sauce when Marge forces the family to watch TV ads (after having a dream where she is chastised for fast-forwarding through them) and they end up going to a ribs restaurant - which is really an elaborate plot by Sideshow Bob to kill them, but it seems that Bob ends up on the wrong end of the fatal blow.

Another Sideshow Bob episode

Saw the promo for it last night, looks funny. It's always great to see Kelsey Grammer reprise his role of Sideshow Bob once a year.

I`m so glad that Sideshow Bob is back again. Not only that, but also Cecil makes his long awaited return and if that isn`t good enough, then their dad(voiced by Frasier co-star John Mahoney) finally makes his debut. This is a dream come true for me. Of course the only thing that`s missing is Jane Leeves as Cecil`s long suffering girlfriend.

I`ve just got through watching tonight`s episode and it was another very good return from Sideshow Bob. I really love his latest attempt to kill Bart by faking his own death to lure him into the trap. Fortunately for Bart, Lisa once again foiled Bob`s latest plot. Plus i must say that it was great to see Bob`s family involved in the plot. I love the bickering between Bob and Cecil/

Also i like the TiVo parody at the beginning of the episode.

In all it was another very good Sideshow Bob. I give it a 9 out of 10.

It was a good Sideshow Bob episode. Enjoyed Bob's latest attempt in killing Bart It was great to see the whole family involved. Pleasantly surprised to see Cecil again.

That's cool that their dad was voiced by John Mahoney

The Tivo parody was funny Love how they kept skipping all the commercials and then Marge dreaming/hallucinating about that corporate guy telling her to watch the ads/commercials Love that the last two eps have had stuff at least to me that talks about the writers strike. Especially last night's episode with Marge telling the corporate guy on the TV that they make tons of money.

Now all the Sideshow Bob family is in jail, for now

I loved the episode and am glad so many others loved it as well. This goes in my top 5 episodes for The Simpsons. Bob's latest attempt to kill Bart was brilliant I say. Homers and Barts lines in this episode was great. Lisa solving the crime is like the episode where Bob runs for mayor, she did it in that one too. So hopefully the next one bart gets to solve it. Marges plot I thought was a we bit annoying so I was glad it was cut short but I loved the rest. I loved how the whole family was in on killing poor Bart LOL. Any ways A+ for me.

It was cool that Lisa solved Bob's plan. It was hilarious that Lisa was telling Homer everything that happened and he was just agreeing with her and then told her that he had gone around the church ten times already

Did you notice that one of the skipped commercials was for Mr. Sparkle?

Firestar007

Yes I did

This is just a general question. If you didn't know John Mahoney was a guest voice on the episode, would you have recognized him as Sideshow Bob's father?

Firestar007

Nope I had no idea that it was him.

What about you?

Sincerely, Me.

Watched this episode again today, I always love the episodes that are like riddles and Lisa solves them.

I was wondering how the thread wound up on the first page

Lol! Magic.
