===On ''The Simpsons''===
The character of Sideshow Bob began his career as the non-speaking sidekick who would only use a 
whistle 
on [[Krusty the Clown]]'s television show.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Telltale Head |episode-link=The Telltale Head |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Al Jean|Jean, Al]]; [[Mike Reiss|Reiss, Mike]]; [[Matt Groening|Groening, Matt]]; [[Sam Simon|Simon, Sam]]; [[Rich Moore|Moore, Rich]] |network=Fox |airdate=1990-02-25 |season=1 |number=8}}</ref> Bob first appears in "[[The Telltale Head]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 1)|season 1]], 1990). In the episode, he and Krusty plan a big event for whoever knows information of who captured the head of Jebediah Springfield's statue, and joins in on the town mob when it is  discovered that [[Bart Simpson]] took it. However, after repeated instances of abuse, including being [[Human cannonball|shot from a cannon]] and [[Pieing|hit constantly with pies]], the [[Yale University|Yale]]-educated Bob became angry with Krusty and resentful of the clown's success.

In "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 1)|season 1]], 1990), Bob disguised himself as Krusty and framed him for armed robbery of the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]. After Krusty is arrested, Bob takes control of the show, introducing children to elements of [[high culture]]. However, Bob's reign is short-lived; Bart exposes him as the robber, Krusty is released, and Bob is fired and sent to jail.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Krusty Gets Busted |episode-link=Krusty Gets Busted |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Jay Kogen|Kogen, Jay]]; [[Wallace Wolodarsky|Wolodarsky, Wallace]]; [[Brad Bird|Bird, Brad]] |network=Fox |airdate=1990-04-29 |season=1 |number=12}}</ref>

In "[[Black Widower]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 3)|season 3]], 1992), Bob's first major appearance after framing Krusty, he is released from prison and marries Bart's aunt [[Patty and Selma Bouvier|Selma Bouvier]] as part of a scheme to [[Inheritance|inherit]] money she has [[Investment|invested]] in the [[stock market]]. Bob attempts to blow Selma up during their [[honeymoon]], but Bart again foils the plan and Sideshow Bob returns to prison.<ref name="Black Widower">{{cite episode |title=Black Widower |episode-link=Black Widower |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Jon Vitti|Vitti, Jon]]; [[David Silverman (animator)|Silverman, David]] |network=Fox |airdate=1992-04-09 |season=3 |number=56}}</ref>

After being [[parole]]d from prison in "[[Cape Feare]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 5)|season 5]], 1993), Bob targets Bart directly, threatening him repeatedly and forcing the Simpsons into hiding as part of the [[United States Federal Witness Protection Program|Witness Relocation Program]]. Bob follows them to their hideout, a [[houseboat]] on Terror Lake, and, after subduing the family, prepares to kill Bart. He allows a final request, however, and Bart asks to hear Bob sing the entire score of ''[[H.M.S. Pinafore]]''. Although Bob finishes singing and nearly kills Bart, the delaying tactic leads to Bob's third arrest as the houseboat had drifted all the way back to Springfield.<ref name="Feare">{{cite episode |title=Cape Feare |episode-link=Cape Feare |series=The Simpsons |credits=Vitti, Jon; Moore, Rich |network=Fox |airdate=1993-10-07 |season=5 |number=83}}</ref>

Bob is released from prison once again in "[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 6)|season 6]], 1994), and runs for Mayor of [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]] as the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] candidate. He defeats [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] incumbent [[Joe Quimby]] in a landslide, but Bart and Lisa discover from [[Waylon Smithers]]  that Bob [[Electoral fraud|rigged the election]] by using the names of deceased people. Bob is put on trial and claims himself innocent, but is tricked by Bart and Lisa to expose himself guilty, leading to another incarceration.<ref name="Roberts">{{cite episode |title=Sideshow Bob Roberts |episode-link=Sideshow Bob Roberts |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Bill Oakley|Oakley, Bill]]; [[Josh Weinstein|Weinstein, Josh]]; [[Mark Kirkland|Kirkland, Mark]] |network=Fox |airdate=1994-10-09 |season=6 |number=108}}</ref>

Sideshow Bob escapes from prison for the first time in "[[Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 7)|season 7]], 1995), and threatens to blow up Springfield with a [[nuclear bomb]] unless the city stops broadcasting all television shows. He is thwarted when he finds out that the bomb itself is a dud, then kidnaps Bart and flies the [[Wright Flyer|Wright Brothers' plane]] in an attempt to kill himself, Bart, and Krusty (who is hiding inside a shack, improvising a performance on the [[Emergency Broadcast System]]). This too is thwarted, and Bob returns to prison.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming |episode-link=Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Spike Feresten|Feresten, Spike]]; [[Dominic Polcino|Polcino, Dominic]] |network=Fox |airdate=1995-10-26 |season=7 |number=137}}</ref>

In the [[The Simpsons (season 8)|following season]], Bob takes advantage of the prison's [[Work release|work release program]], and appears to be genuinely redeemed. "[[Brother from Another Series]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 8)|season 8]], 1997) reveals that Bob only became Krusty's sidekick after his younger brother [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Cecil Terwilliger|Cecil]] failed an audition ten years prior, because Krusty considered Bob to be a perfect [[comic foil]].<ref name=bfas>{{cite episode |title=Brother from Another Series |episode-link=Brother from Another Series |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Ken Keeler|Keeler, Ken]]; [[Pete Michels|Michels, Pete]] |network=Fox |airdate=1997-02-23 |season=8 |number=169}}</ref> [[Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]] declares him a changed man and recommends him for a [[work release]] opportunity. Bob is discharged from prison into the care of Cecil, who is now [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]]'s chief [[Hydraulic engineering|hydrological and hydrodynamical engineer]]. However, the scheming Cecil, still smarting over his failed audition for Krusty, tries to frame Bob by [[Sabotage|sabotaging]] the Springfield Dam by having it burst across Springfield. Bob, Bart, and Lisa together stop Cecil and save the town, and both brothers, despite Bob's genuine innocence, are sent to prison.<ref name=bfas/>

Bob returned in "[[Day of the Jackanapes]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 12)|season 12]], 2001), where he discovers in prison that Krusty has erased all of the early shows featuring Sideshow Bob as Krusty himself is declaring his fifth and final retirement after being annoyed with the [[Television producer|network executives]]. Bob is released from prison and develops a plot to kill Krusty using Bart as a [[Suicide attack|suicide bomber]] during Krusty's retirement special. Everything goes just as Bob had planned, and just when Bob was about to succeed in murdering both his enemies, he overhears Krusty publicly holding himself responsible for turning Bob into a criminal, expressing his regret of mistreating Bob during his years as Sideshow. To appease things, Krusty sings himself a song on Bob's behalf, and being touched by this, Bob decides to abort his plan of [[attempted murder]] and reconciles with Krusty, although he is returned to prison for it.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Day of the Jackanapes |episode-link=Day of the Jackanapes |series=The Simpsons |credits=Jean, Al; [[Michael Marcantel|Marcantel, Michael]] |network=Fox |airdate=2001-02-18 |season=11 |number=261}}</ref>

Bob's aid is sought by Springfield police in "[[The Great Louse Detective]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 14)|season 14]], 2002). After an attempt is made on [[Homer Simpson]]'s life, Bob is released from prison to help find the culprit. During the adventure, Bob is given advice to kill Bart without hesitation, instead of being tricked into delay or screwing up on his plots. When the mystery is solved (it was [[Frank Grimes (The Simpsons)|Frank Grimes]]'s son), he returns to murder Bart. However, Bob finds he is "accustomed to his [Bart's] face" and cannot do it.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Great Louse Detective |episode-link=The Great Louse Detective |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[John Frink|Frink, John]]; [[Don Payne (writer)|Payne, Don]]; [[Steven Dean Moore|Moore, Steven Dean]] |network=Fox |airdate=2002-12-15 |season=14 |number=297}}</ref>

In "[[The Italian Bob]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 17)|season 17]], 2005), it is revealed that Bob had moved to [[Italy]] to make a fresh start. He was eventually elected mayor of the village of Salsiccia in [[Tuscany]] and marries a local woman named [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Francesca Terwilliger|Francesca]], with whom he has a son named [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Gino Terwilliger|Gino]]. The Simpson family, in Italy to retrieve a car for [[Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]], encounters him by chance. Bob welcomes them with hospitality on the condition that they not reveal his dark felonious past; however, a drunken Lisa jokes about Bob's criminal deeds and reveals his prison uniform, alienating Bob from his citizens. Bob is angered enough to change his dream of killing Bart to killing the whole Simpson family. Upon catching up to Bob, his wife and his son swear a [[Feud|vendetta]] with him on all the Simpsons.<ref name="TIB">{{cite episode |title=The Italian Bob |episode-link=The Italian Bob |series=The Simpsons |credits=Frink, John; Kirkland, Mark |network=Fox |airdate=2005-12-11 |season=17 |number=364}}</ref>

The entire Terwilliger family returns in "[[Funeral for a Fiend]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 19)|season 19]], 2007) in which Bob's father, Robert Terwilliger Sr., and mother, Dame Judith Onderdonk, make their first appearances. [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Cecil Terwilliger|Cecil]] also appears a second time on the show. Bob at first attempts to kill the whole family a second time, but his plan fails. Bob fakes his own death during his trial and locks Bart in the [[coffin]], which he attempts to [[Cremation|cremate]] at the otherwise empty [[funeral home]] as all the Terwilligers laugh maniacally. They are foiled by Lisa and the rest of the Simpson family and sent to prison.<ref name="FFAF">{{cite episode |title=Funeral for a Fiend |episode-link=Funeral for a Fiend |series=The Simpsons |credits=[[Michael Price (writer)|Price, Michael]]; Oliver, Rob |network=Fox |airdate=2007-11-25 |season=19 |number=408}}</ref>

In "[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 20)|season 20]], 2008), Bob is one of the wanted criminals in Homer and [[Ned Flanders]]'s bounty hunter job despite already being in prison, which he escapes from at the end of the episode. In "[[Wedding for Disaster]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 20)|season 20]], 2009), Bart and Lisa initially suspect Bob of kidnapping Homer to prevent him from attending his [[second wedding]] with [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] (due to a keychain they found had an 'S' and a 'B'), but Krusty provides him with an alibi, explaining to the kids that Bob was with him the whole day. Eventually, Bob and the kids discover the true culprits, [[Patty and Selma]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z4&mo=3&d=22 |title=Primetime Listings (March 21&nbsp;– March 28) |access-date=March 7, 2009 |date=March 6, 2009 |publisher=FoxFlash |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090313015253/http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z4&mo=3&d=22 |archive-date=March 13, 2009 }}</ref>

Bob reappears again in the episode "[[The Bob Next Door]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 21)|season 21]], 2010). He switches faces with his prison cellmate Walt Warren. Bob returns to Springfield and moves into the house next to the Simpson family, assuming Walt's identity. He exploits this to make his latest attempt to kill Bart legally over state lines, but is foiled again and gets taken away by [[State police (United States)|state police]].<ref name="TBND">{{cite episode |title=The Bob Next Door |episode-link=The Bob Next Door |series=The Simpsons |credits=Frink, John; [[Nancy Kruse|Kruse, Nancy]] |network=Fox |airdate=2010-05-16 |season=21 |number=463}}</ref>

He and Lisa bond over their interest in [[Walt Whitman]], but Bob reveals that he has also genetically modified himself to give himself various [[superhuman]] abilities, intending to acquire [[DNA]] from the relics of various [[historical figure]]s stored in the Springfield Museum to make himself a superhuman [[dictator]]. After tempted into a murderous rage, he chases down Bart and Lisa and is about to kill them but however, he is provoked into a fight and he realizes that he has become a crude monster and jumps off the Springfield Dam. The episode ends with Bob underwater in the lake, shown to have survived because the [[gill]]s he gave himself allow him to live.

Bob also appears in "[[Clown in the Dumps]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 26)|season 26]], 2014). Having returned to prison, he offered his condolences to Krusty after the death of his father, [[Rabbi Krustofsky]]. Several episodes later, Bob returned in "[[Blazed and Confused]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 26)|season 26]], 2014), where he meets Mr. Lassen, Bart's former teacher, who was now reduced to working in prison as a [[Prison officer|guard]] after Bart's earlier actions at a "Blazing Guy" festival got him fired. Despite Lassen's offer to get him out, Bob rejects the idea that they team up as Lassen thought that they would take turns gutting Bart.

In "[[Treehouse of Horror XXVI]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 27)|season 27]], 2015), in the first segment called "Wanted: Dead, then Alive", Bob uses [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]]'s phone to trap Bart in the band classroom and successfully kills him. In peace with himself, Bob moves on from Bart to pursue other dreams, however, due to Bob chasing down Bart for so long, Bob finds his life so meaningless in Bart's absence that he creates a machine to bring Bart back to life so that he can keep killing his enemy over and over, until the other Simpsons find Bob's location and rescue Bart,  and Bart uses the resurrection machine to turn Bob into a twisted amalgamation of creatures. Bob also appears in the episode "[[Gal of Constant Sorrow]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 17)|season 27]], 2016), grunting in annoyance as he wipes off Bart's [[graffiti]] from Hettie Mae Boggs' promo poster on the wall along with [[Snake Jailbird]] and other inmates.

Bob returns in "[[Treehouse of Horror XXVII]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 28)|season 28]], 2016), the 600th episode of ''The Simpsons''. In the opening sequence, he is the self-appointed leader of a four-member group consisting of Homer's enemies, including Bob himself and the ghost of Frank Grimes. Wanting revenge once more, the group attempts to kill the Simpsons but is ultimately killed by [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]], except Grimes's ghost.

He's had a major appearance in "[[Gone Boy]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 29)|season 29]], 2017), when he tries to track down the whereabouts of Bart after he goes missing and is presumed dead. Bob finds Bart and proceeds to kill him and [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]], but saves them at the last minute due to the influence of the prison therapist's lessons of potentially moving on from wanting to kill Bart. The epilogue features an older Bob, now known as Elder Bob, being a lighthouse keeper and still having regrets of not killing Bart.

In "[[The Fat Blue Line]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 31)|season 31]], 2019), Bob escapes from prison once again, only to be hit by a rake truck. Several episodes later, in "[[Bobby, It's Cold Outside]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 31)|season 31]], 2019), he is hired to play Santa Claus at a theme park, and later helps the Simpsons discover who is stealing everyone's Christmas gifts. Bob returned in a non-speaking cameo in "[[Meat Is Murder (The Simpsons)|Meat Is Murder]]" ([[The Simpsons (season 33)|season 33]], 2022), where he is seen signing the chests of citizens like Milhouse's father [[Kirk Van Houten]] at the celebration of [[Krusty the Clown|Krusty Burger]]'s 50th anniversary, a callback to the "Die Bart, Die" scene from "Cape Feare".

In the "[[Treehouse of Horror XXXIV]]" segment "Ei8ht" ([[The Simpsons (season 35)|season 35]], 2023), in an alternative ending to "Cape Feare", Bob realizes that Bart is stalling his death by making him sing ''Pinafore'', and as a result, kills him, traumatizing Lisa. 30 years later, the Springfield Police asks Professor Lisa Simpson to look into a series of murders committed by an unknown serial killer. Perplexed, Lisa seeks Bob's help, but Bob just mocks Lisa. Later, Lisa realizes she herself has done all the murders. Bob is transferred to another prison cell to find Lisa waiting for her, revealing that a split personality emerged after the death of Bart and that she had committed all those murders in hopes of going to prison with Bob. To the music of ''H.M.S. Pinafore'', Lisa gleefully slashes Bob to death.

In Season 36’s “[[The Yellow Lotus]]”, Bob has a minor role, as he is shown to be married and in the same resort with the Simpsons. When Marge tells Bob’s wife about his previous deeds, she throws him off of a cliff, only for Bob to survive and talk with Sideshow Mel.

===Other media===
In addition to regular roles in the television series, Sideshow Bob has made several appearances in other ''Simpsons'' media. Kelsey Grammer recorded several Sideshow Bob lines for ''[[The Simpsons Movie]],'' but the scene was cut; the deleted scene shows him amongst the angry mob, intent on killing Bart until he learns that the mob is apparently after Homer only, prompting him to leave in disappointment.<ref name=moviesonline>{{cite news |title=The Simpsons: a to Z |author=Whipp, Glenn |date=July 28, 2007 |work=[[The Hamilton Spectator]]}}</ref> Sideshow Bob has made regular appearances in the monthly [[List of The Simpsons comics#Simpsons Comics|''Simpsons Comics'']],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061231261/Simpsons_Comics_Beach_Blanket_Bongo/index.aspx |title=Simpsons Comics Beach Blanket Bongo |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] |access-date=January 11, 2009}}</ref> and several of Kelsey Grammer's singing performances have been included in ''The Simpsons'' CD compilations.
