Amazon.co.uk Review
Another series of everyone’s favourite family, another collection of cracking episodes, and with 25 episodes to choose from, including some of the very best ever, you’re a little spoiled for choice.

First aired back in the mid-nineties, the show had really hit its stride following a massively successful fifth series and this series marks a particularly popular period in the show’s history, with celebrity interest bringing a gamut of guest appearances. So, we see Winona Rider in ‘Lisa’s Rival’, Kelsey Grammar in ‘Sideshow Bob Roberts’ Meryl Streep in ‘Bart’s Girlfriend’ and Mel Brooks and Susan Sarandan in ‘Homer vs. Patty and Selma’. But perhaps the most notable, certainly the most amusing, guest vocal is offered by Patrick Stewart in the barnstormingly funny ‘Homer The Great’, which also features one of the funniest Simpsons’ songs ever--‘The Stonecutters Song’.

Other highlights include Bart vs. Australia (‘Hey, I think I hear a dingo eating your baby!’), Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy, in which Homer and Grampa Simpson attempt to sell their homemade viagra-like revitalising tonic to the world, and Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, featuring the second of the great Simpsons’ songs to appear here--‘See My Vest’.

And to top it all off, there’s part one of the only ever Simpsons two-parter, ‘Who Shot Mr. Burns’. The two-parter prompted months of speculation over in the US when first aired and remains an expertly executed slice of Simpsons’ history.

This is The Simpsons on top form. Guest appearances, wonderful animation, tongue in cheek humour and the usual abundance of belly laughs, together with a great selection of extras--it’s another great collection.--Mark Oakley

The Simpsons Season 6
Season 6 of the Simpsons followed on from the brilliant Season 5 and has more episodes and more special features. this was when the Simpsons were beginning to reach there best, and is right in the middle of the best seasons to be made (5-8). It is also the first season to end in a cliffhanger, with the "Who Shot Mr. Burns" mystery being revealed at the start of Series 7.
This season has 25 episodes, 3 more than the previous season 5, and they are some of the best episodes yet. In my opinion, the best episodes on the 4 discs are Bart of Darkness, Homie the Clown, The Springfield Connection, Lemon of Troy. There are tons of special features to keep you occupied once you have watched all 25 episodes, with the total running time of the 4 discs coming to 540 minutes!!!
As in the previous seasons, there are loads of guest stars including Larry King, Patrick Stewart, and Mel Brooks, and loads of funny moments, such as Homer doing the loop the loop on a tiny bicycle, and Maggie in the Halloween special with the famous quote "This is indeed a disturbing universe".
Overall, this is one of the very best seasons of the Simpsons, and with 25 episodes and 540 minutes, this will keep the laughs coming for a long time.

A Classic Season!!!
I can't recommened this DVD boxset enough, it is a superb package for all Simpsons fans.
The sixth season is easily one of the best in Simpsons history, when this series was first broadcast, it was still the golden age of the cult cartoon classic. Episodes like "Itchy & Scratchy Land", "Sideshow Bob Roberts", "And Maggie Makes Three", "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 1" are just laugh out loud hilarious! When you watch these DVDs, there really is little wonder why the Simpsons is still going and as a popular today as it was back when it started. The whole package of the DVD sets are truely fantastic and with so many bonus features chucked in, you'll be entertained for hours.
I recommened this to everyone who has a passion for the greatest cartoon series of all time but be warned, this is a package of which you find yourself playing in your DVD player over and over, again and again.

Don't Have A Cow Man!
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, expecially packaged in the brilliant Homer head!
