Beloved TV icon Krusty the Klown is seen robbing the Kwik-E-Mart, and is quickly arrested, and his trial amazingly goes back quickly. With Homer as a key witness, Krusty is found guilty, and he's sent to jail. In the meantime, Sideshow Bob, who had previously only communicated with a slide whistle, gets control of the show and turns it into a more intellectual program, which somehow succeeds.
Bart, of course, can not and will not believe Krusty committed a crime, and recruits Lisa to help him figure out the real culprit. While leads at the Kwik-E-Mart dry up, its suggested they ask Bob for help cracking the case. On the program, Bob invites Bart to talk about it, and as Bob shoots down Bart's leads on the case, Bart realizes that, during the robbery, Homer stepped on the robber's large feet. However, Krusty's feet are normal-sized while Bob's feet truly are large. Bart figures out that it was Sideshow Bob who robbed the Kwik-E-Mart, and is arrested shortly thereafter. Krusty is freed, and all is well.
Quick Review
While both Krusty the Klown and Sideshow Bob have made appearances in earlier episodes, this is the first real half-hour episode where both take center stage. Yes, we've reached the first of several Sideshow Bob episodes, and this one in particular is one of the better episodes not just in that set, but also in Season 1 in particular.
Krusty Get Busted was a great episode overall, though there wasn't a real classic or memorable scene. Kelsey Grammer, who voices Bob in this in all other speaking appearances, was great here as well when Bob finally got the chance to speak, and Apu, who first appeared in The Telltale Head, really got a chance to shine here too. A fine start to a fine series of episodes featuring Sideshow Bob.
Final Score: 7.9
