The fifth season of the Simpsons began on 30th September 1993 with the first episode, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" and ended on 19th May 1994 with "Secrets of a Successful Marriage". David Mirkin was the show runner through most of the season's episodes although Al Jean and Mike Reiss were show runners of two episodes, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" and "Cape Feare" as they were produced for the previous season as they had Season 4's production code, 9Fxx, other than Season 5's with 1Fxx.
