#1 Cheap The Simpsons - The Complete Sixth Season Reviews
Available at Amazon Limited Special Price!! See Now!!
I ordered this season along with seasons seven and eight, and while I had to reorder season eight because it contained two copies of the same disk, the other two were as they should be. So, incidentally, was the new copy of season eight once I reordered it. But I'll discuss the rest of those seasons in separate reviews since I actually came here to discuss the sixth season. This season is so far the only one I've received in the head-shaped packaging. After reading all the negative reviews where sometimes four stars were subtracted based on the package alone, I'll grant that I was nervous about buying them. But I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. The package was easy to open and yet closed securely and didn't fall apart. Nor did the disks, which are in a handy plastic holder with sections for each disk rather like pages in a photo album, fall out. And because I generally stack my DVD's on my entertainment center, the fact that the package doesn't stand welll on its side didn't matter.
So now that the packaging is out of the way let's get on to the season itself. Season six features some of my favorite episodes, not the least being Treehouse of Horror V, which features three of my favorite sketches. The Shinning, wherein homer goes crazy from lack of TV and beer and attempts to murder his family with an axe, Time and Punishment, which parodies the butterfly effect and the Ray Bradbury shortstory A Sound of Thunder, and Nightmare Cafeteria, wherein Bart and Lisa make a horrifying discovery at school. There's also Homer the Great, where Homer inadvertently becomes the leader of a secet society of beer-swilling good timers while being kicked out of said society for despoiling the sacred parchment. This episode features the ever so catchy Stonecutters theme song, which is one of my favorite Simpsons songs after Baby on Board. Other notables are Bart of Darkness, Lisa's Rival, and of course we can't forget the cliffhanger beginning to one of the most talked-about Simpsons episodes, part one of Who Shot Mr. Burns? If I'm not mistaken this aired not long before the famous King of the Hill cliffhanger when America spent all that spring and summer wondering who would survive the big Propane explosion at the end of season 2.
Aside from the episodes themselves, there is still of course the insightful and often hillarious audio commentary on each episode. And yes folks, these are probably the only features that are likely to matter to a blind Simpsons fan like myself. There are of course also deleted scenes and things like that, making this a set any Simpsons fan should have.
