In movies and TV, every hero needs a villain.

This isThe Simpsons, after all, notGame of Thrones.

Heck, he can’t even age.

Sideshow Bob is not a softy, but in two Christmas episodes, he becomes just that.

Meanwhile, a search party, including the inmates, goes looking for Bart.

Bob unties the two boys and hugs them,telling Bart he doesn’t want to kill him anymore.

Rather than being earned, it’s a quick feel-good moment for a Christmas episode.

You get the picture.

Some of the best from 750 episodes… and counting.

You know what’s gonna happen next.

He’s committed to playing Santa Claus and can’t quit just to simply murder his archnemesis.

It’s another feel-good moment for the holidays, but an even bigger head-scratcher than the previous episode.

Sideshow Bob is now just another character, and Bart’s life is safe from harm.

Where’s the fun in that?
