The '''sixth season''' began airing on September 4, 1994 with the first episode, "Bart of Darkness" and ended on May 21, 1995 with "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)", which is also the series' only two part episode and the concluding part would air the season premiere of the succeeding season. [[David Mirkin]] was the show runner throughout the season as well as the preceding season. The season had two holdovers from season 5, "Bart of Darkness" and "Lisa's Rival", to air at Season 6 when production had been delayed due to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Northridge_earthquake 1994 Northridge earthquake], losing one month of production time. Matt Groening requested a controversial decision to have him uncredited in the episode, "A Star is Burns" as he seemed that it was blantant advertising with a character from a short-lived ABC/FOX animated series, Jay Sherman, becoming a film judge in the episode.

All 25 episodes of season 6 including extras were released in ''[[The Complete Sixth Season]]'' on August 16, 2005 in Region 1, October 17, 2005 in Region 2 and September 24, 2005 in Region 4. The sixth season also marked the beginning of the "clam-shell" packaging design for DVD boxsets, with the package being shaped like a ''Simpsons'' character's head as a limited alternative to the regular DVD boxset. The Season 6 clamshell design featured Homer's head and was received with much criticism.

Lisa gives Bart a telescope to make him happier and reluctantly uses it and finds that Ned Flanders may have killed his wife, Maude, as he digs a grave and her disappearance as well as a scream seemingly uttered from a woman. Bart wants Lisa to go to the Flanders house to search for proof and when she is in, Ned comes in the house while Bart struggles to reach there with his broken leg. Although wielding an axe, he puts it in the attic other then what appears to be attacking Lisa with it. It is revealed that Maude went to Bible camp for her absence and that the scream is uttered by Ned by his favourite plant dead.

Lisa is outperformed in everything she does by a new student named Allison Taylor who is younger yet smarter and is a better saxophone player than her. Lisa vows to beat her in one thing which would be an upcoming school diorama contest. She and Bart decide to sabotage Allison's diorama by replacing hers on a scene in "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tell-Tale_Heart The Tell-Tale Heart]" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe Edgar Allan Poe] with a cow heart as Lisa predicts that Allison would win and that Lisa's own diorama had been destroyed by a gust of wind. After doing so, Principal Skinner criticizes Allison's replaced diorama and decides on her overall qualifications. A guilty Lisa then prompts her to reveal her real diorama. Skinner is unimpressed with either's work and declares Ralph's collection of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]'' action figures the winner due to nostalgic value. Setting their differences aside, Lisa and Allison then become friends. Meanwhile, Homer protects 100 pounds of sugar stolen from an overturned truck to sell it to the town.

Homer is kicked out of Moe's after causing sugar to spill intended as a joke when the others were joking around. He then finds another bar to drink, none which are suitable for his needs and finds one that only pilots can buy alcohol in. He impersonates as one to have beer but is mistaken as a real pilot and is forced to fly an airplane with no experience in flying. To make it up for this mistake, the family are given free tickets to anywhere in America (not including Alaska or Hawaii). The vacation is then aborted when a fearful Marge insists to be off the plane when she admits that she has a fear of flying, having the rest of the family except Grampa also off the plane. This phobia also alters her behavior for the worse and the family decide for Marge to contact a therapist. She goes into treatment with one called Dr. Zweig who says for Marge to think of her earliest memory of her phobia which occurred as a child upon noticing her father as a male flight attendant, much to her shock and depression. Along with recalling other moments involving flight when she was younger and Zweig stating that male flight attendants are now common, Marge is cured as she is no longer tense of flying.

Homer decides to tell them the story of how before Marge became pregnant with Maggie, Homer was able to quit his job at the Nuclear Power Plant to work his dream job at a bowling ally, with enough reduced spending to support the family despite not making as much money at his new job. But after a night of sex with Marge, and then soon finding out Marge is pregnant again (largely due to Patty and Selma), Homer is forced to leave the bowling ally return to work at the Power Plant with the punishment he can never quit again. Despite this the reason why there are no pictures of Maggie is because Homer keeps them at the Power Planet to provide emotional support.

After Bart gets caught who tampered with the school's new weather balloon who secretly turned it into an embarrassing version of Principal Skinner, Skinner forces Bart to help with him with his morning astrology in monitoring stars, hoping to find a new discovery that he could name himself. While Skinner is distracted by the balloon, Bart discovered a comet. However, that comet is heading right towards Springfield which will destroy it. With the government refusing to help, the only safe place for Springfield's residents is in Ned Flanders' bomb shelter. When Flanders is forced out due to lack of space, Homer feeling guilty for encouraging him to leave encourages the townsfolk to go out after him. In the end, the pollution from the town causes the comet to break apart, with the only real damage, being both the weather balloon and Flanders empty bomb shelter.

Bart notices that water always drains counterclockwise except clockwise in the southern hemisphere as stated by Lisa. To prove her wrong, he calls several countries in the southern hemisphere, with one collect call to Australia where a boy there answers that water in fact drains clockwise. The call lasts six hours as Bart had forgotten to hang up and the boy's father fines him AUD$900.00. When Bart does not pay, the father reports this to his neighbor who is federal Member of Parliament who in turn reports it to the country's prime minister. Bart is subsequently indicted for fraud after ignoring many letters and is wanted to be imprisoned by the United States Department of State to make Australia less hostile to him but negotiate on having Bart to apologize to the country after the former decision being declined by Marge. While he apologizes, the parliament also wants a punishment with a booting. Bart and Homer then flee although Bart is then forced to take a booting, this time with a regular shoe. He purposely misses and moons the Australians, making them even madder at him. The family then flee back to the United States in a helicopter while a breed of frogs then populates Australia.
