I will declare whichever day Sideshow Bob is released as a playable character "National Thank You EA Day". No more annoying pop up windows telling me he is in my town, no more annoying auto-scrolls on neighbor visits from where I want to be (elf cannon), to wherever he is wandering around to be tapped for a miniscule amount of money as a reward. Woohoo!

I am in the new skins category. Although there are some major characters that I would like them to release: SIDESHOW BOB please.thank you for your bravery.

Most skins are meh. More playable characters please. I think there are a lot to add (like Bob and Maggie) that aren't even obscure.

Woohoo!There was a time that Sideshow Bob only appeared once every 3 months or so. Some people played for 3+ months and only saw him the one time when they introduced him to the game. Other people would leave him in their towns because he was such a rarity. I miss those times. Funny thing though, people on here were pleading for Sideshow Bob to appear more in the game. I guess it's one of those cases where you should be careful what you wish for.

Woohoo!This. The $$ and XP for catching him (for most players) is a joke and takes more time than its worth.

Every time I log in he's there. Hate it. I love having skins. Would be cool that if you caught him x number of times you could get a prize. Would make catching him more fun.

Ya they need to make Bob playable or at least raise the reward. I don't even bother tapping him anymore so he is just a decoration for me.

Kelsey Grammer, please simply go to EA without anyone but me asking (therefore, you think your subconscious is telling you to do it - just channel your inner Frasier) and tell them that they must use your voice in the game, and that Sideshow Bob must be playable.

Without any times listed, some great tasks would be....

- Step on rakes
- Try to kill Bart
- Announce plans on stadium TV
- Steal blimp (Must have a blimp) ;)
- Give Ningyo42 donuts

I personally like the last one the best. ;) But I am big on the Make Sideshow Bob a Playable Character train. :) Let's do it, EA! And get Kelsey. PLEASE get Kelsey! He did one of the best voices ever for The Simpsons. Complete brilliance. Sideshow Bob + Kelsey Grammer, together again, in The Simpsons (tm) Tapped Out! *cheers*

Disagree. Sideshow Bob is annoying. Once you have tapped on him, then you have to figure out where you were going in the first place. It doesn't then take you back to the landing zone in a neighbor's town. And if you're looking for something specific, like say a tunnel that's placed differently in everyone's town, you now have to waste time finding said object. Completely screws up the timing of visits if you've got got a flow going. For how much in game cash? Not worth the aggravation.

Make him a worthwhile, voiced, playable character.

I don't want them to create obscure characters, I want more re-occurring characters. It's a wonder that Helen Lovejoy and Grandma Simpson haven't been released yet, just to name a few.

I'm a fan of both new skins and new characters. I'd like to see more of both.
