Simpsons producers: Sideshow Bob will finally kill Bart

Kelsey Grammer's longtime Simpsons character, Sideshow Bob, will finally achieve his biggest goal this fall: killing Bart. The Simpsons producers revealed the Halloween episode plot point during the ATX Festival in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, Entertainment Weekly reports.

"I hated frustration comedy, so we’ll scratch that itch," said executive producer Al Jean.

But never fear, the lovable brat won't be gone for good, as the show's Halloween episodes are known for featuring breaks in continuity.
