The Simpsons: Season 6 DVD (OUT NOW; want the old-style box? visit simpsonsbox.com)

[beatles20147]

NOTE: When more info is available on this DVD set, either I, another mod or the thread starter may edit this post with new info. Expect the usual features just like the other sets, though. ~andy

Well, this is certainly going to be a shocker to all those who predicted colors for all these releases. Check out the cover art for season 6:

Not a big fan of this... Seasons 7-10 will have the heads of the other family members apparently. At least it'll fit on the shelf.

Thanks to TVShowsOnDVD.com for this info.

*commentaries in which the board or one of its features is mentioned

[taintedorb]

Just saw it, certainly an unexpected, but much liked design

[AJ]

It looks cool and all, but doesn't fit in with the previous seasons of course, so will look very out of place. Was really hoping to have them all in the same style, one big beautiful line of seasons on my shelf.

[Snack Related Mishap]

Same here, but I still welcome the design. That means I lost my bet about the color though . . . awwww shucks!

[Binky]

Haha, oh man. That was really unexpected. Maybe they're going to do something new every five seasons. Looks great too. Though I am wondering why there isn't anything on the spine.

Then again, remember that artwork is slightly revised from what they originally show in a lot of cases.

Now all that's left is the official press release where they announce what will be on the set, which will probably come one of these days.


EDIT: Interesting that Amazon just removed this image. It was there a moment ago.

Never mind, it's back again.

[DotheBartman]

To be honest....OUCH. I really just don't like the discontinuity at all. Futurama's sets all look a little different from each other, but they still basically match up well together on the shelf. This is just too jarringly different, plus from those bulges on the front I'm not really sure this will even physically fit together with other sets. Plus, I just like the designs on the first five way more; they came off as more "classy". Hopefully this is just one of two available designs or something.

That said, it won't vastly affect my purchase or anything. My main interest is the episodes and features. And good to at least have some idea of how close they are to actually meeting the release date.

[Green_Peaness]

I'm glad it's unexpected. It looks awesome to me!

[Flimpson Tide]

NNNNOOOOO!!! To those who made it, change it while you still can! I wanted the original format to continue. *very disappointed*

[Alpha]

Didn't see that coming...

It looks nice, but that's a pretty shitty deal that it won't match the first five.

[Binky]

It looks nice, but that's a pretty shitty deal that it won't match the first five.

Yes, but it'll match the next five.

[Alpha]

True. I wonder what they'll do for seasons 11+...

[Crotis Jivefunk]

They'll be in poorly crafted cardboard cases.

[Vic]

Seems like there's a smaller case within.

[Keller]

FINALLY! Wow, now that is just awesome! I can't wait for its release. It's possible there's a box matching all the other sets inside of the plastic yellow Homer one. I really really like it though. I was confused half to death when I read the title of this thread, "Season 6 Cover Art - Homer's Head!". I love surprises.

[DotheBartman]

^Hmm, yeah that is possible, considering the odd shape (otherwise I don't see how a shape like that would be ideal for housing dvds). Perhaps they really know what they're doing, and are truly giving people the best of both worlds.

[Alpha]

Hey, that would be great! I hope that's the plan.

[Keller]

Seasons 7-10 will have the heads of the other family members apparently.

Wow, I wonder how they'll do Marge....

[Dark Homer]

I fear change

[Snack Related Mishap]

Although, I do like the standard format better, I do not want them to release two versions. I would have to buy both of them, because I would not be able to decide.That would really suck . . . well, for people like me.

[AJ]

While they look good from the front, when on a shelf they're going to look pretty awful stacked up against the others. Nothing on the side at all that says what season it is. The more I look at this, the more disappointed I am.

/me starts praying that this is just an outside box, the regular one is inside, and there will be no problem afterall.

[Colburn]

It would be great if Homer's head was just an outside box, and it would also be okay if its not. The joy for me is: we finally have cover art (!)

[Datoupee]

No. No. No. No. No. This is all wrong. Stick to the original format. This sucks.

[SideshowTim]

wow, shit. i really wish they had stuck to the same pattern the whole way through. now my collection will look screwed up!

[Ryan]

Ummm...wow. Why, exactly, FOX, are you doing this? Are you bored, perhaps? Did you want something new? Well, let me tell you something: I pictured one day having an empty bookshelf with twenty boxset DVDs in them. This couldn't be to have seperate disc amrary (sp?) cases like Futurama, since they could easily do that without notice from the side. But, why, for god's sakes are you DOING THIS design?!! It doesn't even have a damn LABEL on the side!!!...

[SideshowTim]

i really hope that it's not as enormous as it looks.

[Andy]

Since the old thread got so disgustingly bad at the end, I'm making this the new thread. Anymod/beatles, update the first post when new info comes in. Also, none of the crap from the previous threads, thanks.

[jennifer]

[Dr. Bartley]

i also wish that they still had the same format! the shops will prob go and try to jack up the prices just because it's a homer dvd or something

[samsa]

Haha, it looks great. Sure it will not look the same in the shelf, but mine is already a multicolored dvd thing, so maybe it will go unnoticed. It's great, but I still have to buy 5th Season

[Oto]

Hoo noo ! Tell me the real original design is inside !
