7.30PM TUESDAY / JULY 1

Kelsey Grammer from TEN's 'Back To You' guest star's in this episode!

The episode begins with Homer and Bart going to Circuit City to buy a camera battery, but Homer being Homer, ends up purchasing a TiVo because the batteries come free with the purchase. The family enjoys using the TiVo to watch TV without the commercials.

Late one night, Marge dreams of Keith Olbermann accusing her of not watching the commercials that pay for the TV shows and convinces her to watch them. One such ad is for a new rib restaurant, owned by a cowboy named Wes Doobner. They drive to the restaurant, only to find Sideshow Bob waiting for them, triumphant in his elaborate hoax to lure them to their doom. Bob is later arrested and taken to prison.

During Bob's trial, Bob's father, Dr. Robert Terwilliger Sr. is brought to testify. He suggests that Sideshow Bob's psychosis is because of Bart, convincing Springfield that Bart is to blame, and they turn against him. Bart, however, tries to tell the town that they are being played by Bob. Bob then takes out a vial labeled nitroglycerin, which Bart snatches and throws out the window, thinking it an explosive.

The vial was actually Bob's heart medication and he collapses on the floor and is pronounced dead. Bob's family and many people of Springfield attend Bob's funeral. Bart shows little remorse for Bob despite all of Springfield grieving. After Bart speaks to Bob's brother Cecil, he decides to go to the Springfield Funeral to make peace with Bob's corpse before it gets cremated; however, Bob leaps out of the coffin, very much alive, and traps Bart in the coffin to be incinerated!

Meanwhile, back at home, Lisa discovers that everything was an elaborate plot put together by Bob's entire family, explaining that he was put in a temporary death-like state with a special drug injected by his father. The Simpsons immediately race to the coffin – will they have made it in time? Or will Bart be burnt alive by blinding Bob with unclaimed ashes?
