Review: The Simpsons Season 6 DVD

There has yet to be a disappointing season set as far as features are concerned. As always, each episode has commentary form various members of the team. Some episodes of course provide more to discuss than others. They're always laid back, and enjoy themselves tremendously.

Episodes containing deleted scenes offer a nice option to view the scene in its original spot by pressing the enter button when an icon appears. If you don't want to sit through them all, just head to the fourth disc and watch all 50+ of them at once (with or without commentary). If you want to watch a few scenes in a variety of languages, this now standard Simpson season set feature is still here.

Other features include a look at the Simpson airplane used to promote the show, a great America's Most Wanted parody show that looks at who shot Mr. Burns, and various sketches, drawings, and hidden stuff. (*****)

There is controversy here, and that revolves around the packaging. It's bad enough Fox chose to change it so it doesn't match up with the previous five seasons, but this is just awful. Nothing holds these discs in place. The first time you open Homer's head, they'll likely fly out, along with all of the other items included. It's all made of a flimsy, cheap, and easily breakable plastic.

They obviously received a few unhappy e-mails too. There is a way to get the "real" box that will hold the discs better and match up with the rest of the series. Of course, Fox managed to screw this up too. The phone number included in the box should be a 1-888 number, not 1-800. If you want to skip the phone ordeal, just go to the website. You'll need to pay $2.75 for shipping, not to mention including a stack of information.

Yeah, when I first saw the packaging, I thought it would be incredibly bad.

How can any episode of the Simpsons be bad?

I cant wait to pick this up. I use to watch the early seasons of the simpsons and as I got older I stating missing episodes in season 6 and so on. So this will be a new experince since I'm sure there are some epsisodes I have not even seen yet. Great review and very helpful tip with the box info

I do recall this as a great season. It was my senior year of college (I believe) and all would gather Sunday evenings to catch the broadcast.
