The classic to clunker ratio is still extraordinarily high, though The Simpsons' sixth season could give some devoted viewers pause. The show that takes cheeky delight in mooning television convention gives us "Another Simpsons Clip Show" and its first season-ending cliffhanger, "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" And, as does Bart in "A Star Is Burns," we should all feel a little dirty at the "cheap cartoon crossover" appearance of Jay Sherman (Jon Lovitz), designed to give a boost to the ill-fated animated series The Critic. But this is just beard-stroking tongue-clucking regarding a season that delivered episodes that rank in the hallowed The Simpsons pantheon, among them, "Homer Badman," in which lust for a gummy Venus de Milo, peeled from the behind of an unwitting babysitter, makes Homer the object of feminist protest and tabloid TV fodder, and "Homer the Great," in which Homer is discovered to be the Chosen One to lead the secret society, "The Stonecutters" ("Who holds back the electric car/Who made Steve Guttenberg a star?/We do!"). Several episodes take their inspiration from classic films and books: Hitchcock's Rear Window ("Bart of Darkness"); Michael Crichton's Westworld and Jurassic Park ("Itchy and Scratchy Land"); and Stephen King and Ray Bradbury ("Treehouse of Horror V").
This season's roster of guest voices is also especially impressive, including Winona Ryder as "Lisa's Rival," Meryl Streep as Rev. Lovejoy's bad-seed daughter ("She's like a Milk Dud," a smitten Bart laments. "Sweet on the outside, poison on the inside"), the late Anne Bancroft in "Fear of Flying"; Patrick Stewart in "Homer the Great"; Mel Brooks and Susan Sarandon in "Homer vs. Patty and Selma," and Mandy Patinkin as Lisa's future fiancee in the surprisingly moving "Lisa's Wedding." There has, of late, been a feud a-brewin' between fans of The Simpsons and Family Guy. Which show is funnier? Has The Simpsons lost it? Is Family Guy a Simpsons-wannabe? Hey; Can't we all just laugh along? Best to just marvel at another exemplary Simpsons season that, to quote Homer in "Lisa's Rival," delivers it all: "The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles." --Donald Liebenson

 It's a master piece for Simpsons' Fans July 12, 2006
I love The Simpsons for many reason and now I have a new good reason the package for me its a great idea. The fifth season is one of the best
 STUPID PACKAGING & SHAMEFUL OFFER July 9, 2006
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
When you receive this set, they offer a regular box you can set on the shelf, for an additional $2.98. What arrives four weeks later is a piece of folded paper that makes a slip cover for the already very poor disc holder.
20th Century Fox Entertainment should be boycotted. They make almost three dollars on something which costs them likely 8 cents - all in addition to the original cost of the discs.
I love THE SIMPSONS, but I am returning this piece of folded paper along with an invoice for a four disc jewel case.
Best... season... EVER! July 1, 2006
Unfortunately I could not give this product 5 stars, simply because the packaging leaves something to be desired. It appears this is some kind of cruel joke that the folks at Fox decided to play on Simpsons fans. The concept is kind of cool - that once you open up Homer's head, its contents will come spilling out - but it is also much less user-friendly than previous seasons' packaging.
As for the episodes themselves, I believe that the writers reached a creative genius peak during this season. Episodes like Homie the Clown, Homer the Great, Homer vs. Patty & Selma, A Star is Burns, Lemon of Troy, and Who Shot Mr. Burns (part 1), among many others, have multiple-view value. Whenever I have time to sit and watch a few episodes of the Simpsons, this is invariably the season I reach for first! I own all 7 seasons released to date, and this one represents the best overall selection of hilarious episodes!
I will not bore you with episode summaries or my personal rating of each episode - there are plenty of reviews out there like that already. But for those who have yet to purchase any Simpsons on DVD, I recommend starting with this one!
Simpsons Season #6 June 22, 2006

=+= Opening Statements =+=
The first thing I must say about this set, is that the idea of the box looking like Homer's head is very creative. I was a little mad at the fact that it would not go with the other DVDs but hey..it is pretty creative. On another note, this is one of my favorite seasons and it was well worth the packaging. Here's the rest of my review.
=+= Episodes =+=
In 4 disks, there are 25 different episodes. Now, I'm not going to explain ALL of the episodes buy I'll explain some of my personal favorites.
-Another Simpson's Clip Show- This episode is about a time when Marge reads a romance noval and ends up talking about it to the kids. There we see many past relationships that the Simpson family had. Like Marge with Jaque, Homre with Mindy, Ralph and Lisa, and Bart with..erm..I forgot.
-Homer Badman- After taking Marge to a candy convension, Homer finds a rare gummy that he steals. When taking the babysitter home, the gummy is on the babysitter's butt. Homer grabs the gummy and the babysitter files a charge of sexual harrassment.
-Homie The Clown- Krusty is going bankrupt! So he must open a Clown Collage in order to help him pay off his depts. Meanwhile Homer goes to that Collage and ends up going around as Krusty. He ends up getting caught by the Mob.
=+= Final Thoughts =+=
To end it all up, the Homer shaped box that is Season 6, is not that bad. The episodes are perfect, the bonus features are interesting, and it is a perfect addition to your Simpsons collection.
Total 5-5
Don't Have A Cow Man June 21, 2006

The Simpsons are now at the top of their game. After five very good seasons, by this sixth series, The Simpsons had permeated into pop culture. They were everywhere. Everyone knew who they were. And the amount of merchandise avaliable was just staggering.
So Season six had an awful lot of anticipation behind it when it was first aired. And it succeeds in every way.
Plot details this time round were more detailed than ever before, but the joke rate still caused a laugh a minute. There are visual gags, one liners, and enough adult jokes that fly over little kids head to appeal to everyone.
Standout episodes are the Halloween special, featuring the Shining (Ssh, lad, do you wanna get sued? It's the Shinning!), the episode where Bart insults Australia and the now infamous Who Shot Mr. Burns.
This last epsiode was a season cliffhanger, the first time The Simpsons had used a to be continued to end a season. Everyone in Springfield could have killed Mr. Burns, and everyone had a motive. So who was it? You have to wait till season 7 is released to find out!!
The extras, as usual for Simpsons DVDs are plentiful, except this time we get a 20 minute doc, which is a tongue in cheek look at the Anerica's Most Wanted TV show, called Springfield's Most Wanted, and it builds up the Who Shot Mr. Burn's episode. Otherwise, you get commentaries on ALL episodes, animation showcases, just loads of stuff to watch.
AS usual, its real value for money for a full season of my favorite show.
