Still one of the funniest episodes the show ever did. It's certainly off the wall, but it's practically non-stop laughs.
"Cape Feare" is a fantastic episode that sees Sideshow Bob plot to murder Bart upon his release from prison. While this one is off the wall, it is perhaps the most entertaining episode of The Simpsons so far. It's incredible just how tautly written and hilarious a lot of these early Simpsons episodes are, even when some of the plots reach the levels of absurdity this one does.
Overall, another standout for The Simpsons.
Sideshow Bob is just simple, amazing.

There's practically not a moment in this episode that isn't filled with absurd laughter. Simply put, Cape Feare is 22 minutes of memorable scene after memorable scene. Truly one of the landmarks of THE SIMPSONS.
