| The sixth season of the American animated television series ''[[The Simpsons]]'' originally aired on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network between September 4, 1994, and May 21, 1995, and consists of 25 episodes. ''[[The Simpsons]]'' is an animated series about a working class [[Simpson family|family]], which consists of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. The show is set in the fictional city of [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]], and lampoons [[Culture of the United States|American culture]], society, television and many aspects of the [[human condition]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Simpsons: Culture, Class and Popular TV |author=Flew, Terry |work=Metro |issue=97 |date=1994-03-03 |url=http://www.metromagazine.com.au/magazine/backisues.asp?keywords=cultu&whichpage=12&pagesize=15}}</ref> | |

|
| The showrunner for the sixth production season was [[David Mirkin]] who executive-produced 23 episodes. Former showrunners [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]] produced the remaining two; they produced the two episodes with the staff of ''[[The Critic]]'', the show they left ''The Simpsons'' to create. This was done in order to relieve some of the stress ''The Simpsons''{{'}} writing staff endured, as they felt that producing 25 episodes in one season was too much. The episode "[[A Star Is Burns]]" caused some controversy among the staff, with [[Matt Groening]] removing his name from the episode's credits, as he saw it as blatant advertising for ''[[The Critic]]'', which Fox had picked up for a second season after being cancelled by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] and with which Groening had no involvement. Fox moved ''[[The Simpsons]]'' back to its original Sunday night timeslot from [[The Simpsons season 1|season 1]], having aired on Thursdays from [[The Simpsons season 2|season 2]] through [[The Simpsons season 5|season 5]]. It has remained in this slot ever since. The sixth season won one [[Primetime Emmy Award]] (for the episode "[[Lisa's Wedding]]"), and received three additional nominations. It also won the [[Annie Award]] for Best Animated Television Production.

|
| The Complete Sixth Season [[DVD]] was released in the United States on August 16, 2005, September 28, 2005, in Australia, and October 17, 2005, in the United Kingdom. The set featured a plastic "clam-shell" Homer-head design and received many complaints. In the United States, the set contained a slip of paper informing purchasers how to request alternate packaging — which consisted of a case-sleeve in a similar style to the standard box design — for only a shipping and handling fee.

However, due to Fox's demand for 25 episodes, former showrunners Al Jean and [[Mike Reiss]] returned to produce two episodes (''"[[A Star Is Burns]]"'' and ''"'Round Springfield"'') with the staff of their series ''The Critic'' to reduce the workload on ''The Simpsons''<nowiki/>' writing staff. |

| | The episode ''"A Star Is Burns"'', a crossover with ''The Critic'', sparked controversy among the show's staff. Series creator Matt Groening opposed the crossover, considering it promotional content for ''The Critic'', which he had no involvement with. Groening ultimately removed his name from the episode's credits. |

| |
|
| During the production of the season, Groening and Brooks pitched a [[live-action]] spin-off series centered on [[Krusty the Clown]] (expected to be portrayed by [[Dan Castellaneta]]) entitled ''Krusty'' (although they began planning the series since 1992).<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mangels |first=Andy |date=January 1993 |title=Hollywood Heroes |journal=[[Wizard (magazine)|Wizard]] |issue=17 |page=34 |publisher=[[Wizard Entertainment]]}}</ref> Groening and [[Michael J. Weithorn|Michael Weithorn]] wrote a pilot episode where Krusty moved to [[Los Angeles]] and got his own talk show. A recurring joke throughout the script was that Krusty lived in a house on wooden stilts which were continuously being gnawed by [[North American beaver|beavers]]. Eventually, the contract negotiations fell apart and Groening decided to stop work on the project.<ref>{{cite magazine |url= http://ew.com/article/1999/04/15/matt-groening-tells-ew-online-about-lost-simpsons-spin/|title=Matt Groening tells EW Online about the lost 'Simpsons' spin-off |access-date=2022-02-02 |date=1999-04-15 |author=Dan Snierson |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref>

[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] persuade [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] to buy them a swimming pool, which proves popular with the town's other children. Bart ends up breaking his leg when he dives off his treehouse and is forced to spend the rest of the summer in his room.

Using it, he witnesses [[Ned Flanders]] digging a grave and through his ramblings, becomes convinced that Ned has killed his wife [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Maude Flanders|Maude]]. Lisa's popularity increases due to the pool, but she is quickly abandoned when Martin Prince's parents buy a bigger pool. Bart sends Lisa over to the Flanders' house to look for proof of the "crime", only for Ned to return, holding an axe. However, he is merely putting it away; and it is revealed that Maude is still alive and well, and all that Ned killed was her favorite plant. The episode ends with Martin's pool being destroyed due to overcrowding, instantly evaporating his newfound popularity.

| |ShortSummary= In a parody of the film ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', [[Santa's Little Helper]] falls in love with a female greyhound, who eventually gives birth to 25 puppies. The puppies prove troublesome and Homer and Marge decide to give them away. They have several offers, but the puppies do not want to be split up, leading to Mr. Burns stealing the lot. Burns is seemingly caring for the puppies, but reveals that he plans to make a [[Black tie|tuxedo]] out of them, and only keep one. Bart and Lisa sneak in but fail in their attempt to rescue the dogs. As Burns is about to kill the puppies, Bart places the dog Burns wishes to keep with the others, hoping that Burns will not kill them if he can not tell which is which. However, Burns notes that his dog can stand up, but discovers that they all can. Burns has a change of heart and decides not to kill any of the dogs, a decision that pays off handsomely for him as they all become champion racers.

| The DVD boxset for season six was released by [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] in the United States and Canada on August 16, 2005, ten years after it had completed broadcast on television. As well as every episode from the season, the DVD release features bonus material including [[deleted scene]]s, [[Traditional animation#Animatic|Animatics]], and commentaries for every episode. The menus follow the same format as the previous season's set.<ref name="Season 6 DVD">{{cite video |date=2005 |title=The Simpsons season 6 DVD boxset |medium=DVD |publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> The packaging was changed from the standard box design, used for the previous five seasons, to a plastic clamshell design shaped like [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]'s head. After many fans complained of the format change, a standard box was produced, with a "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" theme. The season was not offered for retail sale in North America in the standard box, but people who had bought the head design and preferred the alternative were offered the standard box free of charge.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Simpsons/3926 |title=The Simpsons - D'oh! 800 # works jjust fine after all!
