Sideshow Bob to Finally Kill Bart

As any Simpsons aficionado knows, Sideshow Bob (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) has tried to kill Bart Simpson for the better part of the past twenty-five years.

Saturday, at the ATX Festival in Texas, The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean revealed that – during this year’s Halloween episode – Sideshow Bob will finally succeed in killing Bart. This should make for a fun “Treehouse of Horror.”

The festival also yielded other information. Harry Shearer (voice of Ned Flanders and Mr. Burns, among others) announced that he will quit The Simpsons. A new deal is still in the works in an attempt to prevent Shearer’s departure.

Plus, the beloved Simpsons Movie character Spider-Pig will resurface at some point during the next season.

Does this new ‘Simpsons’ information sound interesting? Will you tune in for this year’s “Treehouse of Horror” episode to see Sideshow Bob achieve his lifelong goals?
