It's Good but it's The Worst Sideshow Bob Episode There is,

The Man Who Grew Too Much is a great Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and a ton of very funny scenes.I will admit when I found out a Sideshow Bob episode was being made,which hasn't happened in a good few years now,I was really looking forward to it,and I did find this one disappointing,it's good as a regular episode but as a Sideshow Bob episode it is a huge disappointment.Sideshow Bob episodes are usually really different from a regular Simpsons episode,but this one really wasn't,in fact I think it would have been much better if it was Professor Frink instead of Bob in this episode,it would have suited his character better.It's certainly Kelsey Grammers weakest episode as Sideshow Bob,but it's still an enjoyable episode with plenty of laughs.

Lisa is shocked to run into Sideshow Bob during a research trip,only to find she has a lot in common with Bart's nemesis.
