The guy I got to replace you isn't fit to hold your whistle.

Sideshow Bob
According to Krusty the best Sideshow ever, even though he did try to frame Krusty for armed robbery, in order that he could take over the show and make it more intelligent. Bart foiled his plans and since then, Bob has been trying to kill him.

Sideshow Phil
Little is known about this Sideshow, except that he got stuck in a canon and never got out...

Sideshow Mel
The person Krusty got to replace Sideshow Bob. Even though Mel talks like a pretty intelligent person, maybe a little overdramatic, all he's allowed to do on the show is blow a whistle and get blown out of a canon.

Sideshow Luke Perry
He performed the sideshow act during a comeback special, to help Krusty out, as they are half brothers after all.

Bob Terwillinger Episodes
Krusty Gets Busted
Fed up with having to work for a clown, who creates a children's show that in his mind makes the children stupid, Sideshow Bob figures it's time to take some action.  He dresses up as Krusty and decides to rob the Kwik-E-Mart, where at that moment Homer is buying something, so he ends up being a witness.  Everyone is fooled, except Bart, who doesn't want to give up on his hero.  When he starts to investigate, Bart realises there are a couple of things wrong.  For instance, even though the real Krusty has rather small feet, the robbing Krusty yelled out when Homer stepped on the floppy shoe toes.  Also the robbing Krusty was reading a magazine, even though the real Krusty can't read, and the robbing Krusty was using a microwave oven, but the real Krusty has a pace-maker, so he wouldn't have been allowed to use one.  When on the Sideshow Bob show, Bart is invited to come up and talk to Bob, and there he spills the beans

Black Widower
Selma is feeling mighty lonely, and because she can't seem to find a man in the real world, she figures she'd try finding one in jail.  She starts exchanging letters with Sideshow Bob and they fall in love, so shortly after Bob's release, they decide to get married, and it doesn't even matter that much that Bob hates McGyver.  Even though Bob seems to have charmed everyone in believing he has changed, Bart still doesn't trust him.  To honour her new husband, Selma has decided to stop smoking, except for after meals and after McGyver.
When Selma sends home a tape of their honeymoon, they see Bob beating up a bellboy because he doesn't have a room with an open fire, and Bart's mind starts to turn.  Why would Bob want an open fire?  To create an explosion.  Selma has a rare condition in which she has lost all sense of taste and smell, so she wouldn't notice if the gas-tap was open.  When Selma is watching McGyver, Sideshow Bob opens the tap and leaves the room, knowing that Selma would light a match as soon as McGyver was finished.  Bart manages to explain this all to his parents, and they arrive just in time to save Selma.

Cape Feare
After Sideshow Bob is released from prison (if he has die Bart, die tattooed on his chest), he starts following Bart around, even into the movie Theatre.  The Simpsons decide to move away and change their names under the Witness Relocation Program, so they go live on a houseboat and are now called the Thompsons.  However, Sideshow Bob has followed them even there, strapped under the car, and after a rather unfortunate, but funny, sequence with rakes, he continues his evil plot to get his revenge on Bart.  He ties up all the rest of the family, sets off the boat and goes after the boy, but Bart manages to stall Bob just enough (by making him sing the entire score of the HMS Pinafore seeing as he has such a lovely voice), so that the boat arrives back in Springfield and is awaited there by the cops.

Sideshow Bob Roberts
Sideshow Bob is found by a talk show host, Birch, to be the perfect republican, and so the radio personality starts a campaign to free him from prison.  As soon as Sideshow Bob is released, he joins the Springfield Republican Party (which also has a vampire as a member...).  They decide to let Bob run for mayor, considering he has a pretty public face, and surprisingly enough, he even wins.  When he decides to build a Matlock Expressway through the Simpsons house, Lisa and Bart decide to investigate exactly how Bob got elected, and they find that dead people have been voting for him.  It all ends up in court, where Bob is being tricked into telling everyone how smart he is in his criminal genius by rigging the election, and he is sent back to jail.

Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming
While in prison, Sideshow Bob realises how stupid TV is, and how much better off we would all be without it.  He decides to make TV stop altogether.  While working at the air-base, cleaning everything for the grand show, Bob escapes the prison guards, and manages to impersonate Colonel Hap Hapablap enough to be able to steal an atomic bomb and hide in the Duff blimp.  During the air show, Bob takes control of the big screens and sets his ultimatum: all TV programs must end or he will blow up the bomb.  All visitors are evacuated from the premises, but Lisa managed to hear the influence the helium had on Bob's voice, so she realises he's in the blimp, and Bart and Lisa go to catch him, and in doing that they find out the bomb was a dud, because Krusty doesn't want to give up his show and starts a pirate channel, to which Bob reacts.  Lisa manages to let the police know they're in the blimp, but Bob makes away with Bart and the Wright's Brothers Plane to go and destroy Krusty's broadcasting shack, where he is promptly arrests and sent back to prison

The Brother From Another Series
Sideshow Bob is released on a probation, because he can start working with his brother Cecil on the Springfield Dam.  Cecil holds a bit of a grudge against Bob because Bob stole the sideshow job, which Cecil actually wanted, but decides to let Bob live in his house anyways, as it all happened years ago.  Lisa and Bart don't trust Bob for one instant, and when they go to his trailer to investigate, they find a pile of money, which they think he embezzled.  Bob catches them, but has no idea where the money comes from, but then Cecil comes in and says that it was him, and that he is finally going to do what Bob never succeeded in: destroy Springfield.  He locks Bob and the children up in the dam, which he plans to blow up, but they manage to escape and foil his plans.  Cecil then attempts to kill Bart, but Bob saves him.  When Cecil is arrested by the police, they decide to take away Bob as well, because after all he is the master criminal, and the two brothers end up sharing a cell.

Day of the Jackanapes
Krusty once again decides to leave show business.  In one of the interviews about that, he mentions that all the shows with Sideshow Bob were taped over, Bob wants his revenge.  He is released on parole, again, and devises a scheme to kill Krusty, and if possible, Bart as well.  He starts a job as a janitor at the Springfield Elementary school, from where he kidnaps Bart (after a short struggle with his other arch enemy, a rake).  He hypnotises Bart and then releases him.  His ultimate plan is to have Bart walk up to Krusty during his retirement show, give Krusty a hug and blow up both of them, as Bart will be carrying bombs.  Everything starts to go as planned, but during the show Krusty speaks fondly of Bob, and he realises he can't go through with it, but is too late.  Mr Teeny saves the day, and with it kills the people who were stopping Krusty's carreer, and everything goes back to normal.

The Great Louse Detective
Someone is trying to kill Homer, and the police is at a loss.  To help them catch the killer they temporarily release Sideshow Bob, seeing as he is a brilliant criminal mind, even though none of his crimes actually worked out the way he planned.  To make sure Bob doesn't kill anyone, he gets a shock collar around him.  Bart has some fun with it, as Bob tries to attack him a couple of times.  Bob finds out that it is in fact Frank Grimes Jr. who's trying to kill Homer, and he is sent to jail.  Bob manages to get around the shocking and tries again to kill Bart, but as he looks at Bart's scared face realises that if Bart were gone his life would have lost all purpose, and he breaks out in song, singing about how he grew accustomed to him, and so Bart is saved to live a bit longer
