The Simpsons (TV Series) Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming (1995) User Reviews

What is your major malfunction?

[snoozejonc · 8/10 · 1 December 2022]

Sideshow Bob attempts to stop television broadcasts.

This is a strong episode with some decent parodies and great cameos.

It's always great to have Kelsey Grammer's Bob centre stage and he is as entertaining as ever in this one. I enjoyed the story of his campaign of terrorism against lowbrow entertainment, particularly the site gags. The final kamikaze moment is predictable but still very funny.

All the Simpson family characters are used well in the story, particularly Bart and Lisa. I also love R. Lee Ermey's cameo in his usual military commander persona.

There are several references to Dr Strangelove that I enjoyed and the visuals are generally superb.

My Second Favorite Simpsons Episode Ever!

[tequila101 · 9/10 · 9 August 2010]

After Cape Feare, this would have to be my next favorite episode in the entire Simpsons episodes. Once again with Sideshow Bob.

The Story plots out again as Side Show Bob escapes prison. Side show Bob is then sick of television and he thinks that everyone's lives would be much richer without T.V. The town of Springfield think he's crazy and he is as he threatens the town of Springfield that he will detonate a Bomb from 1959. The town then must cooperate so they aren't killed. Later on Lisa & Bart foil Bob's plan and he is sent back to jail once again.

I think this is another excellent Sideshow Bob episode. 9/10

Sideshow Bob Strikes Again

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 22 June 2022]

Sideshow has to be one of the most bizarre of all characters. Once again he finds himself jailed because of his betrayal of Krusty and efforts to kill Bart. Television becomes the sore point as he finds a way to disrupt service and destroy the TV's in town. He also has a nuclear device at this disposal. It is quite hysterical from beginning to end.
