Season Info

Season 6 opens with "Bart of Darkness," a clever parody of Hitchcock's "Rear Window" in which Bart believes he witnesses neighbor Ned Flanders killing his wife. Interestingly, the finale is also a murder-mystery spoof (this time of the "Dallas" episode "Who Shot J.R.?"), as cruel billionaire Mr. Burns is shot and everyone in Springfield is a potential suspect. Elsewhere, the Simpsons clan take a vacation to Itchy & Scratchy Land, but their trip to the cartoon-themed amusement park goes horribly

Bart of Darkness

After taking advantage of a community "pool on wheels" that rolls into their neighborhood during a summertime heat wave, Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) and Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) decide to badger Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) and Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) into getting a swimming pool. The new pool makes the Simpsons the most popular family in the neighborhood, but Bart doesn't get much of a chance to enjoy his new status; he soon breaks his leg while trying to dive into the pool from his tree house. For the most part confined to his room, Bart wiles away his time by spying on the neighbors with a telescope, and one night he sees Ned Flanders (voice of Harry Shearer) digging what looks like a grave in his back yard. Bart then overhears Ned saying "I'm a murderer!" and comes to the conclusion that Ned has snapped and killed his wife, Maude (voice of Maggie Roswell). Bart and Lisa soon start playing detective, determined to uncover the evidence of Ned's wrongdoing. "Bart of Darkness" was first aired on September 4, 1994.

Lisa Simpson (voice of Yeardley Smith) is used to being the star student at Springfield Elementary School, but when a new student arrives, for the first time Lisa has a true rival in her intellectual powers. Allison Taylor (voice of Winona Ryder) is bright, a top student, and even a gifted saxophone player, and while Lisa ought to be friends with Allison, she's confused and a bit angry at the notion of being second best for the first time. After taking the first chair in the school band's saxophone section away from Lisa, Allison looks to be a shoo-in to win the coveted diorama competition; unable to beat Allison's best efforts, Lisa accepts an offer from Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) to sabotage Allison's presentation. Meanwhile, Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) finds 100 pounds of sugar lying by the side of the road after a truck crashes; Homer is convinced he's found a windfall that will earn him a fortune, while Marge tries to convince him you can't sell dirty sugar door to door.

Semi-corrupt public official Mayor Joe Quimby (voice of Dan Castellaneta) is up for re-election, and radio talk-show host and Republican activist Birch Barlow (voice of Harry Shearer) is determined to put a more conservative candidate in office. Looking for the right man to run against Quimby, Barlow and his right-wing brain trust think they may have found their man in Sideshow Bob (voice of Kelsey Grammer), convicted felon, former children's entertainer, and nemesis of Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright). After Barlow's radio campaign results in Sideshow Bob's early release, Bart and Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) help Mayor Quimby in his campaign against the charismatically evil Bob, but Quimby spoils his own campaign and Bob wins with a projected 100 percent of the vote. However, an anonymous tipster tells Bart and Lisa that something was not cricket with the election, and the kids make a shocking discovery as they examine Springfield's polling records.

Treehouse of Horror V

Late October brings yet another trio of comic nightmares from The Simpsons. In The Shinning, Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) gets a job as winter caretaker at a resort hotel high in the mountains owned by Mr. Burns (voice of Harry Shearer). The maintenance man, Groundskeeper Willie (voice of Castellaneta), discovers Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) shares his psychic gift of "shinning" ("You mean 'shining'?" "Shh! You wanna get sued?!?"), which comes in handy when Homer snaps under the pressure after finding the hotel has no beer or television. Time and Punishment finds Homer trying to fix a toaster and somehow becoming unstuck in time, encountering any number of alternate histories as he zooms back and forth from the prehistoric age to the "present." And in Nightmare Cafeteria, Bart and Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) notice that students kept after school for detention are disappearing, as the cafeteria is suddenly serving an abundance of rich, meaty dishes, leading the quickly shrinking number of students to wonder if Principal Skinner (voice of Shearer) and Lunchlady Doris (voice of Doris Grau) are resorting to cannibalism.

Bart's Girlfriend

One day at Springfield Elementary School, Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) and his fellow fifth graders are introduced to their new classmate, Jessica Lovejoy (voice of Meryl Streep -- yes, that Meryl Streep), who is the daughter of local parishioner Reverend Lovejoy (voice of Harry Shearer). For Bart, it's love at first sight, and he attempts to convince Jessica he's a perfect gentleman in order to win her over. Jessica, however, regards Bart with indifference, and when he is invited over to dinner and repeats an off-color joke he heard Martin Lawrence tell on his Fox TV show, Bart figures he's blown his last chance. But Bart quickly discovers Jessica has a rebellious streak, and is attracted to his mischievous nature. After a while, however, Bart decides that Jessica's thirst for preteen delinquency is more than he can handle ("You're turning me into a criminal, when all I want to be is a petty thug"); Jessica responds by stealing the money from the collection plate at her father's church one Sunday, and framing Bart for the crime. "Bart's Girlfriend" first aired on November 6, 1994.

Lisa on Ice

After the Springfield Schools institute a new "Academic Alert" policy informing parents if their children's grades are falling, Lisa Simpson (voice of Yeardley Smith) is the last student anyone would expect to merit a warning letter. But Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) and Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) are startled to learn Lisa may flunk out one of her classes -- gym. To make up for her PE classwork, Lisa is told she can join an athletic team, but she doesn't seem well suited enough for any school sports to make the cut. Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) is playing on a Little League hockey team, and one day at practice he starts throwing stuff at his sister. Lisa picks up a hockey stick and quickly bats the items away; Apu (voice of Hank Azaria), who coaches another team, sees Lisa in action and recruits her as their new goalie. With Lisa guarding the net, her team goes on a winning streak, and Bart notices his sports-minded father is showing Lisa a lot more attention than he's ever shown before. An intense rivalry grows between the kids, which is intensified when Lisa and Bart's teams are to face off for the league championship; Marge tries to convince her children that they don't need to compete for affection, while Homer urges them, "I want to see you both fighting for your parents' love!"

Homer Badman

When the annual Candy Industry Trade Show comes to Springfield, noted sugar enthusiast Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) arrives to load up on free samples, with his embarrassed wife, Marge (voice of Julie Kavner), in tow. Homer's feeble willpower is quickly stretched to the breaking point, and he swipes the rarest item at the show -- a gummy Venus de Milo, "carved by gummy artisans who work exclusively in the medium of gummy." After arriving home from the show, Marge asks Homer to give the babysitter, feminist-minded college student Ashley Grant (voice of Pamela Hayden), a ride home. As Ashley is getting out of the car, Homer notices the precious gummy Venus de Milo is stuck to her bottom, and he quickly peels it off; Ashley is certain Homer was making a sexual advance, and accuses him of harassment. As Ashley and a group of protesters set up camp on the Simpsons' front lawn, a tabloid TV reporter interviews Homer, and through the magic of editing makes him sound like a subnormal degenerate, so suddenly Homer is the pariah of the community. "Homer Badman" also features the voice of Dennis Franz, who stars in a quickie TV movie modeled after Homer's notoriety, "Homer S.: Portrait of an Ass-Grabber." The episode first aired on November 24, 1994.

Fear of Flying

After Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) has an argument with barkeep Moe Syzlak (voice of Hank Azaria), he's no longer welcome at Moe's Tavern, and Homer goes in search of a new watering hole. Homer begins frequenting "The Little Black Box," a bar near the airport catering to pilots, but when he's mistaken for a member of an airline's flight crew and put behind the controls of a jetliner, only dumb luck prevents a catastrophe. The airline gives Homer free tickets for himself and his family in exchange for keeping the incident quiet, but as the Simpsons are about to take off on their vacation, they discover Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) is terrified of flying, and demands to be let off the plane before take-off. Marge begins seeing an analyst, Dr. Zweig (voice of Anne Bancroft), to deal with her fears, though Homer suspects he'll end up being blamed for Marge's problems. During therapy, Marge begins to discuss her childhood, and her relationship with her siblings and her parents, but while Dr. Zweig thinks they may have gotten to the core of Marge's anxieties when she reveals her father was a pilot, it turns out there's more to the story than that. "Fear of Flying" first aired on December 18, 1994.

Homer the Great

Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) begins to notice that his friends Carl (voice of Hank Azaria) and Lenny (voice of Harry Shearer) slip away after work each and every Wednesday, and they won't tell him where they're going. Fueled with the burning curiosity of a man with nothing better to do, Homer follows them and discovers that they're members of an ancient secret society known as the Stonecutters. Homer immediately wants to join, but is refused entry until Grampa (voice of Dan Castellaneta) reveals he's a member (he's also a card-carrying member of the Elks, the Masons, the Communist party, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance). Once Homer is in, he revels in the Stonecutter's many activities, most of which seem to involve drinking, but it looks as if he's banished after he uses their sacred parchment as a napkin. Homer is to be stripped of his membership during a private ritual when it's discovered he has an unusual birthmark on his back; the group's leader, Number One (voice of Patrick Stewart), declares that Homer is the Chosen One the Stonecutters have been waiting for. Homer soon begins abusing his privilege as the Chosen One, but it's not until his daughter Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) suggests he use the group's resources for humanitarian purposes that things begin to go downhill.

Bart's Comet

Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) plays one of his more elaborate pranks on Principal Seymour Skinner (voice of Harry Shearer) when he decorates a weather balloon launched by the principal so that it will resemble Skinner, bearing a sign which reads "Big Butt Skinner." As punishment, Bart has to help Skinner with his astronomy research at 4:30 a.m. each morning, but as luck would have it, while Skinner is off his watch, Bart discovers a new and unseen comet, which is named for the boy. While Bart is at first lionized for his find (much to Skinner's annoyance), it quickly becomes obvious that the comet is headed right for Springfield, and could very well destroy the town. After attempts to fend off the comet fail, doomsday fever sweeps Springfield, and several people discover that Ned Flanders (voice of Harry Shearer) is one of the only folks in town with a shelter capable of withstanding the comet. While Flanders unwittingly becomes savior of the community, everyone has to ask the question "Who should stay and who should go in Springfield" when it becomes obvious not everyone who wanted a shelter bothered to build one.

Homie the Clown

While Krusty the Clown (voice of Dan Castellaneta) may be a beloved television personality and the biggest star in Springfield, he's still having trouble living the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed, thanks in part to his voracious appetite for pornography and habit of betting against the Harlem Globetrotters. Hoping to boost his profits, Krusty opens a clown college, where he can train others to impersonate him at personal appearances in exchange for a percentage of their fees. Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) decides being a clown is his true calling, and becomes one of Krusty's first enrollees. After learning the ropes of clowning, Homer is imitating Krusty at birthday parties, openings of businesses, and local Cable Ace award ceremonies; he finds the work is a lot more about hard work than glamour, and he's about to call it quits when Chief Wiggum (voice of Hank Azaria) pulls him over one night -- and is convinced Homer really is Krusty. Homer finds it's easy to convince people he's the real clown, and he decides to enjoy some of the advantages of life in the fast lane, until he discovers that Krusty owes a lot of money to gangster Fat Tony (voice of Joe Mantegna), and Fat Joe doesn't believe him when he says he's really Homer Simpson. Dick Cavett and Johnny Unitas also make voice cameos as themselves. "Homie the Clown" first aired on February 12, 1995.

Bart vs. Australia

Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) and his sister Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) have an argument in which Lisa contends that water always drains clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, while Bart says she's all wet. Bart decides to place a collect phone call to Australia to find out, but when the phone remains of hold for six hours, the Aussie family on the other end finds themselves stuck with a 900-dollar long-distance bill. Soon Bart is being indicted for fraud, and the Simpsons are visited by Evan Conover (voice of Phil Hartman), U.S. Undersecretary of International Protocol. Conover insists that to avoid an international incident, Bart must go to Australia and apologize, and soon the Simpsons find themselves being flown down under by the United States government. Bart apologizes during a meeting of Australian parliament, but soon discovers that's not all they want from him; it seems the Aussies have a form of corporal punishment called "the Boot," in which wrongdoers are kicked in the backside with an unusually heavy bit of footgear, and Bart is to become the Boot's next victim. "Bart vs. Australia" first aired on February 19, 1995.

Homer vs. Patty and Selma

Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) decides to try his hand at the stock market in order to make the most of his savings, but while he does well in the short term on pumpkin futures, he gets the mistaken idea they'll hit their peak in January; shortly after Halloween, the bottom has fallen out of the pumpkin market, and Homer is broke. Not sure how to make the monthly mortgage payment, Homer is forced to ask his hated sisters-in-law, Patti and Selma (both voiced by Julie Kavner), for a loan. Patti and Selma agree, but only under the condition that they get to treat Homer however they wish, while Homer makes them promise that they never tell Marge (voice of Julie Kavner). While the loan gets Homer out of a bind, before long he's wondering just how much abuse he can take. Meanwhile, Bart (voice of Yeardley Smith) shows up late for school the day he has to choose a Physical Education class, and to his horror, he discovers only one class is left -- ballet. While Bart cringes at the prospect of doing something as "sissy" as ballet dancing, his instructor (voice of Susan Sarandon) sees great promise in him, and soon he's the star dancer of the class. But does Bart have the nerve to perform a recital before the school's student body? "Homer vs. Patty and Selma" also features a cameo appearance from Mel Brooks; the episode first aired on February 26, 1995.

A Star Is Burns

The citizens of Springfield decide they need to spruce up the town's image, and Marge Simpson (voice of Julie Kavner) suggests that sponsoring a Springfield Film Festival might be a good way to do it. The idea is enthusiastically received, and Marge is able to persuade well-known film critic Jay Sherman (voice of Jon Lovitz) to lead the jury. Though overweight and balding, Jay has charm and wit where Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) does not, and after Jay wins over Marge and her sisters, Patty and Selma (both voiced by Julie Kavner), Homer insists on being made a judge for the festival in order to prove his intelligence and sophistication. However, while most of the jury is moved to tears by a film about the tragedy of alcoholism by Barney Gumble (voice of Dan Castellaneta), which bears the unfortunate title "Puke-ahontas," Homer is insistent upon handing the grand prize to a minute-long short in which Hans Moleman (voice of Dan Castellaneta) is hit in the crotch with a football. Meanwhile, C. Montgomery Burns (voice of Harry Shearer) wants to refurbish his image as an aging, cold-hearted energy czar, and decides to make a film about himself, "A Burns for All Seasons," which is to be directed either by Steven Spielberg, or his nonunion Mexican equivalent. "A Star Is Burns" introduced the character of Jay Sherman, who a few weeks later debuted in his own animated series, The Critic, which was produced by several members of the creative team behind The Simpsons. "A Star Is Burns" first aired on March 5, 1995.

Lisa's Wedding

The Simpson family spends a spring afternoon visiting a Renaissance Festival, and while Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) is most interested in a Hungry Man's serving of suckling pig, Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) makes her way to a fortune teller's tent, who tells Lisa the story of her first great love, to occur 15 years in the future. While Maggie has become a sullen teenager, Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) works for a demolition company, and Homer is still working the same job at the Nuclear Power Plant, Lisa is attending a first-rate college, where one day in the library she meets a fellow environmental science student, the verry British and upper class Hugh Parkfield (voice of Mandy Patinkin). Lisa and Hugh are soon head over heels in love, and while visiting his family's estate in England, Hugh asks Lisa to marry him. However, no amount of warning on Lisa's part can quite prepare Hugh for the shock of meeting the Simpson family, and shortly before the ceremony, Hugh informs Lisa that after they are married, they will never see her family again, forcing Lisa to choose between her kin and the man she loves. "Lisa's Wedding" first aired on March 26, 1995.

Two Dozen and One Greyhounds

While the Simpsons' faithful dog Santa's Little Helper has never been the best mannered member of the household, lately his behavior has been more rambunctious and destructive than usual, and Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) and Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) are trying to figure out why. They discover the answer in a rather embarrassing manner when Santa's Little Helper escapes from the car one day, runs straight to the Springfield Dog Track, and is soon discovered in flagrante delicto with a female greyhound. The Simpsons take in the second dog, and soon she gives birth to a litter of 25 puppies. While the whole family is fond of the dogs, it soon becomes obvious they lack the time, energy, or means to care for 27 dogs, and they decide to give the puppies away. However, they discover the pups can't stand to be separated, and the only person who seems willing to take all the dogs at once is sinister energy tycoon C. Montgomery Burns (voice of Harry Shearer). Certain he's up to no good, Marge turns the offer down, but Burns steals the puppies anyway, and soon Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) and Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) discover what he has planned for his new pets -- he intends to make a tuxedo out of them. "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" first aired on April 9, 1995.

The PTA Disbands

After a near disastrous visit to a historical park hampered by overzealous security and a bus that threatens to destroy itself at any moment, tension between the teachers at Springfield Elementary School, led by Edna Krabappel (voice of Marcia Wallace) and principal Seymour Skinner) (voice of Harry Shearer), reaches a fever pitch, and some believe the teachers will go on strike. This is awful news for star student Lisa Simpson (voice of Yeardley Smith), but her brother, Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright), welcomes a strike, and begins plotting ways to square Krabappel off against Skinner. Bart's tactics work, and soon the towns' parents are forced to look after their children's education; after the Springfield Parent Teacher Organization is unable to persuade the two sides to compromise, they round up volunteers from the neighborhood to teach classes in the meantime. Not only is Bart unhappy to be back at school, but he learns to his dismay that his mother, Marge (voice of Julie Kavner), will be his teacher for the meantime, while Lisa's new instructor has to call off class after his beard gets tangled in the pencil sharpener. Bart, finally realizing the downside of a teachers' strike, decides since he helped tear labor and management apart, he must now help bring them together. "The PTA Disbands" first aired on April 16, 1995.

Round Springfield

Strikingly negligent children's entertainer Krusty the Clown (voice of Dan Castellaneta) adds a special bonus item to the latest batch of his "Krusty-O's" breakfast cereal -- a free jagged metal Krusty-O in each box. Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) makes the mistake of eating the metal Krusty-O in his box, and soon he's taken to the hospital. While visiting her brother, Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) discovers that local jazz legend Bleeding Gums Murphy (voice of Ron Taylor) is also under the weather. After discussing the ups and downs of his career with his young fan, Lisa mentions she has a jazz recital coming up at school, and Bleeding Gums gives Lisa his saxophone to use for the occasion. Lisa's recital goes well, but when she comes back to tell him all about it, she learns that Bleeding Gums has passed away. Lisa discovers that few people in town know or care about Bleeding Gums and his music, and when she tries to persuade a local jazz radio station to play his music, she's told his only album, "Sax on the Beach," is an out-of-print collector's item, and while they'd be glad to play it, the station doesn't have a copy. Lisa does find a shop dealing in collectibles with a copy for sale, but the price is 500 dollars, and she has no idea how to raise enough money to buy the record and bring her mentor's music to the people. "Round Springfield" also features an appearance from Steve Allen (who voices himself) when Bleeding Gums makes an appearance on Allen's TV talk show; the episode first aired on April 30, 1995.

Lemon of Troy

Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) finds himself in hot water again after he's caught drawing graffiti in a block of wet cement. His mother, Marge (voice of Julie Kavner), scolds him for not taking more pride in his community, and Bart finds himself taking the message to heart. So when Springfield's oldest lemon tree is claimed by a gang of scrappy kids from nearby Shelbyville, Bart and a group of his friends -- Milhouse (voice of Pamela Hayden), Nelson (voice of Nancy Cartwright), Martin (voice of Russi Taylor), and Todd Flanders (also voiced by Cartwright) -- slip into Shelbyville to reclaim it.

Who Shot Mr. Burns?

Springfield energy tycoon C. Montgomery Burns (voice of Harry Shearer) has never been one to endear himself to his fellow citizens, but his public image sinks even lower than usual after oil is discovered on the grounds of the local elementary school. While Principal Skinner (also voiced by Shearer) plans massive improvements for the school -- including buying a new crystal slop-bucket for Groundskeeper Willie (voice of Dan Castellaneta) and hiring Latin jazz great Tito Puente as a music teacher -- Burns instead finds a way to tap into the oil well, adding to his already bulging bankroll and forcing massive cutbacks for the school. The after-effects of Burns' actions prove to be widespread -- the local retirement home collapses, leaving Grampa Simpson (also voiced by Castellaneta) with nowhere to go, while Moe (voice of Hank Azaria) is forced to close his tavern due to toxic fumes, and Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) is angry after his dog is injured by a blast of crude oil. Meanwhile, Homer (also voiced by Castellaneta) begins to snap when Burns is unable to remember his name, and the few citizens not already furious with Burns are out for his blood when he constructs a giant shield that prevents the sun from shining on Springfield. When Mr. Burns is shot after a town meeting, the question isn't "Who would want to kill the richest man in town?" but "Who wouldn't ?" "Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part One)," the cliffhanging finale of the sixth season of The Simpsons, first aired on May 21, 1995.
