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.
