Question: Why did Sideshow Bob want to kill Selma? I don't ever recall her doing anything to upset him.
The Simpsons (1989)
1 question in Black Widower
Continuity mistake: This is a mistake for the introduction from seasons 2-20 (1991-2009). When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage. (00:01:50)
Homer's brain: It's simple, just use reverse psychology.
Homer: Reverse psychology? That sounds too complicated.
Homer's brain: Alright, don't use reverse psychology.
Homer: Alright, I will!
Trivia: The Simpsons holds the record for most guest stars; it is also the only non-variety show to have had appearances from three former Beatles (Paul, George and Ringo).

Chosen answer: Insurance and to get revenge on Bart.

But how does killing an aunt that Bart doesn't really like get revenge on him?
Even if Bart "doesn't really like" Selma, he doesn't seem to hate her so much that he would be totally careless about her death. If nothing else, he probably realises that his mother would be upset.
He doesn't DISlike Aunt Selma. In any event, he probably doesn't want her to die.
