List of episodes
"Bart of Darkness" is the premiere of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 4, 1994.[1] In the episode, Bart breaks his leg and becomes increasingly isolated. Spying on Ned Flanders from his room, Bart suspects that Ned has murdered his wife. The episode was produced during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which delayed production by a month, and it was originally going to be the season five finale. and is largely a parody of the Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954).[3]
The episode was written by Dan McGrath and directed by Jim Reardon.
