What Season 6 of The Simpsons

Season 6 opens when Bart and Lisa convince Homer to buy a swimming pool. Bart breaks a leg jumping from his treehouse and, from there, spies on the neighbors with Lisa's telescope. What he sees leads him to suspect that Ned Flanders has killed his wife. Lisa, meanwhile, gets a new classmate, Allison Taylor, who is as good as she is at her studies and at the saxophone. Homer faces the media after being accused of sexual harassment. The Simpsons also visit Itchy & Scratchy Land, a theme park full of violence, and Bob the Second Banana becomes a mayoral candidate with the backing of the Republican bosses.
