Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 fiancée 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

By A Customer
This review is from: The Simpsons: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
Complete Episode List:

1. Bart of Darkness:
The Simpsons get a pool. Bart is forced to stay inside all summer after breaking his leg. He spies on the neighbours in "Rear Window" style. He thinks he sees Flanders kill Maude.

The family goes to Itchy and Scratchyland for a fun and relaxing vacation. Bart and Homer both get into trouble and Marge is so embarassed. In the end, the family has to battle a fleet of feline and mouse robots.

5. Sideshow Bob Roberts:
Sideshow Bob is released from jail and runs for mayor of Springfield. He gets 100% of the vote, while Mayor Quimby gets 1% of the vote (don't forget 1% margin of error). The Simpson kids smell something fishy about this victory and strive to get to the bottom of it before they are forced out of their home by the construction of the Matlock Expressway.

6. Tree House of Horror V:
Part 1: "The Shinning" Homer and the family are the caretakers of Mr. Burns' summer home in the mountains. Homer is forced to spend the winter without TV and beer and ends up going crazy. Bart uses his "Shinning" to call to Groundskeeper Willy for help.

The Stonecutter Episode!

15. Homie The Clown
Homer joins Krusty's Clown College to be trained as an impersonator. He is mistaken for the real Krusty by everyone in town, including the mob.

We see Lisa as a young woman through a fortune teller's crystal ball.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not an outer shell, folks, Aug 16 2005
By 
This review is from: The Simpsons: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
Contrary to previous comments, the packaging you're seeing is not an outer box. This packaging does not match the fold-out style of the previous five seasons whatsoever. The plastic (read: cruddy plastic) Homer head packaging pops open at the top to reveal a Homer cut-out envelope (similar to the packaging of the previous five seasons, only not as geometrically sound). It seems like the whole thing centers on a "Who Shot Mr. Burns" sort of feel.

The season is great, one of the last great seasons the Simpsons ever had, but the packaging is a major disappointment. The other five lined up so neatly alongside one another, and this one sticks out like a sore thumb.
