Sideshow Bob, is not a flat character, but I wouldn't say that he's a round character ether. I'd say he's static. Although you think he's going to change, he stays the same. He he's been in ten episodes, and his “tick” is to make action in the series, by trying to kill Bart, blowing up his aunt,and so on. He's also putting Bart in a positive light, because it's mostly him that exposes his plans. Sideshow bob first entered the Simpsons in the first season, in the episode called The “Telltale Head”.

Bob started in the series as a sidekick on Krusty the Clown's television show, but he managed to frame the Clown for armed robbery at theKwik-E-Mart. Krusty was arrested, and Bob took over his show. But Bob's career of hosting his own kiddie-show was not so long lasting, you see, Bart discovered that Bob was behind the whole thing, and this led to Bob's arrest. This made Bob furious, and as soon he got out of jail, he had figured you a plan. This plan was to marry Bart's aunt, Selma Bouvier, just to get his hand on her money, and then blow her up at their honeymoon. But Bart never believed that he really wanted to marry Selma, and he exposed Bob once again, and this led to Bob's second arrest. In that episode you can really see that Bob is a maniac! He's clever, and manages to fool everyone but Bart. And when he thought that he did blow her up, he sings in a very happy voice “And then i go and spoil it all by doing something stupid like explode you”. But since his plan didn't work out, he was sent to jail, again. He has that “evil genius” appearance, has that calm dark voice, and evil laughter. This time, when he got out, he decided to go directly after Bart, by threatening him, and forcing the family to move. And when the Simpsons moved, he followed them, apprehended the rest of the family, and went after Bart. But he failed once again, and he was arrested. Bob also shows that he's clever. But at the same time, he shows that he's cind of dumb, and really easy to fool! He has a smart way of getting out of jail. He made people think that he was innocent by making a radio man saying that he was a political prisoner. When he explains to the man in the radio that he's innocent he says: “attempted murder, now what is that? Do they give a Nobel price for attempted chemistry? Do they?” in this line, we can see that he does not really think that to try to kill someone in not really a crime, as long at you didn't do it. In one way he has a piont, because the think he needs, isn't jail, its a mental hospital.. When he got out he this time, he rigged the Springfield Mayoral selection. This time it was Lisa's turn to reveal his crime. In court, Lisa makes him confess the whole thing, just so no one else would take the credit for his “perfect crime”. And he's off to jail, again. But, the story isn't over just yet. You see, Bob has a bother. And this time, when bob gets out, it's Cecil's tome to try to commit a crime. He was angry at Bob, for taking his job, in becoming Kursty's sidekick instead of him, and tried to frame his own brother for embezzlement, but this time, amazingly enough, Bart and Bob foiled his plan. For this, both brothers ended in jail. But after he figures out that he just can't kill Bart, he moves the Italy, for a fresh start. There he meets a woman, called Francesca. They married and got a son, whom they named Gino. You would think that after moving for a fresh start, he actually did change, but think again. You see, the Simpson's came to visit him and his family, as long as they did not tell his new family about his horrible past. But Lisa managed to do just that. But his wife and son did not leave him, but the three of them swear a vendetta on the Simpson's And it all ends with Bob faking his own death, trying to burn Bart alive at his own funeral. That shows that he has a great imagination! As you can see, Bob never actually kill anyone at all. He just tried several times. Even though Robert is really evil minded, he's never ever succeeded in any of this horrible plans. Bob is also a bit of a clumsy character. He often steps on rakes. And in the episode “cape Feare” he steps on as much as nine consecutive rakes! One time he got out of jail, he walked right off a clip. He simply just don't look down when he walk, even though you might think he would learn to watch his step.
