“Let us all bask in television’s warm glowing warming glow.” – Homer Simpson. Season Six is another of the perfect seasons of The Simpsons. There’s not a bad episode in the lot, and the humor is outrageously hilarious. Leaving whatever tethers to reality it had behind, the show embraces the absurd with the family fighting off a robot uprising at the Itchy & Scratchy amusement park (“Itchy & Scratchy Land”), Homer becoming the leader of a secret society (“Homer the Great”), Bart discovering a comet that’s headed straight for Springfield (“Bart’s Comet”) and starting a feud with Australia (“Bart vs. Australia”), and a gypsy giving Lisa a vision of her future (“Lisa’s Wedding”). The writing is especially creative; full of clever satire and fun parodies. And in a particularly bold move, the season concludes on a cliffhanger event episode – “Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part One” (a riff on the “Who Shot J.R.?” arc from Dallas). Additionally, there are dozens of celebrity cameos, including Winona Ryder, Dennis Franz, Anne Bancroft, Patrick Stewart, Mel Brooks, and a Cheers reunion. Incredibly ambitious, The Simpsons’ sixth season continues to experiment and try new things.

A lot of memorable episodes this season. Keeping the momentum going. This is also the first season for me that contained more top-tier episodes than mid-tier ones.
