The Simpsons pulled in 6.26 million viewers on Sunday night with ‘The Bob Next Door’. These are increased figures against stronger competition in Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains season finale, which is great to see. Season 21 is shaping up to pull much stronger figures in its final weeks in comparison to last season, which saw the episode “Four Great Women and a Manicure” pull 5.16 million viewers, remaining the second-least watched episode of all time.
The rerun at 7.30 also had increased figures (3.13 million). Family Guy pulled 7.58 million viewers at 9:00. Cleveland had 5.75 million, while American Dad ended the night with 5.82 million viewers.

The season finale “Judge Me Tender” airs this Sunday night.
ok so the face switching thing was a little outlandish, but otherwise great episode

Great episode !
Great to see Sideshow Bob again. Hopefully the ratings will continue rising.
It was a very funny, exciting episode!
Should have been the finale.
Finally some not so bad ratings.
Best episode in a long time. Hilarious! No wonder the show’s ratings are going up.
Good episode, good seeing Sideshow Bob again. The whole face removal thing was kinda gross, but my question is: Did Walt Warren and Sideshow Bob switch faces back? I hope so…
I really liked this episode. Thought the jokes about his voice and “Frasier” and the Guy from “Down Periscope” were funny.
BTW – The Simpsons Season Finale goes up against the SERIES Finale of LOST + the season finale of the celebrity apprentice.
I think the LOST episode doesn’t start until 9PM, but ABC is airing LOST Finale stuff starting at 7PM.
I don’t expect the Simpsons season finale to go out with a bang, just because of what it’s up against.
I’m going to watch both Simpsons and LOST, but I think Simpsons has a chance at beating Family Guy because the LOST episode officially starts at 9 – same time as Family Guy.
great improvement with the ratings and one of the best episodes ever with Sideshow Bob.
just want to say one mor thing, watch the new NIKE commercial if you hadn’t, Cristiano Ronaldo apears on the simpsons!

(the site’s in portuguese [i’m portuguese] but just watch the video)
Ronal… d’oh!
I thought it was an excelent episode till I saw the swiching faces part, that kinda ruined it
Again, it was okay/pretty good. But I will say it again. They need to get Connan writing again like the old days. Besides they took his show from him:( NBC=Dookie!
The face thing freaked me out…but I thought Walt Warren was a cool new character despite losing his face to Sideshow Bob
