Amazon.co.uk Review
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, Amazon.com

Synopsis
The all-American dysfunctional family, beloved stars of the longest-running animated television series ever, returned for a sixth season on FOX. This season sees the adults of Springfield disappearing when Homer markets his libidinous wonder drug, while, Bart suspects aliens and conspiracy. Marge uncovers a repressed memory of her father when she encounters a flight attendant, and the family learns the reason behind the household's dearth of pictures of Maggie. Bart manages to offend the entire country of Australia, while both Homer and Marge decide it's time for a career change. Marge becomes a cop and sets about cleaning up Springfield, while Homer discovers the advantages and disadvantages of being a professional clown.

Simply can't wait to add another to my Simpsons collection
The laughs continue as another complete season of The Simpsons comes to DVD complete with the extra's fans have become accustomed to. Only a complete specs list has yet to be issued by FOX so along with the artwork not known yet. You'll have to wait a bit longer to see what's in store for Season Six. Fox Home Entertainment has revealed early details on the Sixth Season, which will be released this August (16th) in the US but we the Brits have to wait another month for it over here. Each of the Sixth Season episodes will be presented in 1.33:1 full frame along as usual in English Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

My theory was that they made a Christmas release last year so that they can now release them annually at Christmas time, where people will buy many more of them as gifts. If they release in June and December, they catch the Christmas market with half of the releases. Red Dwarf release their DVDs every November and February for the same reason which is what the Simpsons should do, releasing 2 Seasons a year would help speed up the process of coming to DVD.

In all the Simpsons box sets are very well done and presented well like Father Ted and The Legaue Of Gentlemen, only wish The Fresh Prince box set was like this.

New box wil be released!
I love season 6, one of the best simpson seasons ever. But now they decide to change the box and make it look different to all the other simpson season box sets. Fox however have stated that this homer head box is a limited edition and afterwards a box similar to the other seasons will be available. So if you wait a while you will be able to obtain the simpson season 6 box set that matches in with the rest of your simpsons collection.

Content great, Box Ugh
This is one of the best seasons the Simpsons crew put out to date, and the bonus features in this DVD set are as always terrific and well worth the wait. Although I had welcomed the new change knowing that I'd get over the fact that the set would not match the others, when I got it home I was very disapointed. When I took the flimsy poorly put together fingerprint loving Case apart it fell into about fourty pieces on my coffee table and any time you want to watch its great contence it takes 5 minuts just to put the thing back together. There is a flyer inside allowing you to shell out more of your hard earned cash for the origional set design (I have already payed 50 dollars canadian for the set and now have I have to pay them another 5 just for the lack of annoyance trying to put it together.) So in conclusion my review is 5/5 for the content and 1/5 for the packaging (I like the thaught of the new design just think they should have taken the time to put it together better and more user friendly.)
