History[edit]

Season 5 began on September 30, 1993, with the first episode, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", and ended on May 19, 1994 with "Secrets of a Successful Marriage". David Mirkin was the showrunner through most of the season's episodes. Al Jean and Mike Reiss were showrunners of two episodes, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" and "Cape Feare", which had been produced for the previous season.

"Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" was the 100th Simpsons episode broadcasted. The episode was intentionally made the show's 100th episode because it heavily featured Bart, who was the most popular Simpsons character at the time. "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" was promoted as "Bart's biggest prank ever", even though Bart did not actually pull any pranks in the episode.[1]
