Sideshow Bob first appeared in "[[The Telltale Head]]", the eighth episode of [[The Simpsons (season 1)|season 1]]. His design was relatively simple compared to later incarnations, and his hairstyle was rounded. However, towards the end of the episode, he appears again, in a panning shot of a crowd, with his familiar hairstyle.<ref name="MooreTTH"/> His second appearance, and first major one, was in season 1's twelfth episode "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]", written by [[Jay Kogen]] and [[Wallace Wolodarsky]].{{sfn|Richmond & Coffman|1997 |pp=28–29}} Bob's design was updated for "Krusty Gets Busted"; as the episode's animation style evolved, director [[Brad Bird]] made the character of Sideshow Bob sleeker and more refined, to fit Grammer's voice technique.<ref name="SilvermanBW"/> Following the re-design, animators tried to redraw his scenes in "The Telltale Head", but had insufficient time before the show was produced.<ref name="MooreTTH">Moore, Rich.

Bob has no lines of dialogue during the first half of "Krusty Gets Busted"; the character's only communication takes the form of a [[slide whistle]]. This was designed to make Bob appear simplistic, so that when he finally spoke, viewers would be surprised to hear his sophisticated vocabulary.<ref name="JeanKGB">Jean, Al. (2001).

Grammer had once worked for Rabb, whose "lamenting tones became [the] foundation for Sideshow Bob".<ref name="Grammer">Grammer, Kelsey. (2006).
