[demon]

still no thank you Fox.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

LOL!

 

[DrForester]

MISTA SPARKUL!

 

[MrPing1000]

A 2 minute reminder of how shitty the simpsons has become.

And just like the film Mr Burns gets completely shafted.

 

[DanteFox]

pretty slick opening.

 

[Dead]

its terrible

 

[ReiGun]

Pleasantly surprised. I really like it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

CARNIVALE MAKES AN HDTV?!?!?

 

[Chojin]

The only redeeming thing of that link was the link to Summer Glau

RAWR

 

[Stitch]

No sir, I didn't like it

 

[echoshifting]

meh. Too many little details and in-jokes that will get tedious fast. Are they really using this same sequence from now on or just tonight?

They'll probably use a different (much shorter) couch gag.

I don't know, I liked it a lot.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Is this still on?

 

[woodchuck]

liked it until the couch part. that was terrible and went on too long

 

[Blader]

You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you!! Damn you all to hell!!!

 

[AniHawk]

Old opening > new opening because it's hand-drawn

 

[Keyser Soze]

Making sandcastles on Frank Grimes grave...

+1

 

[master15]

I hate to be jaded...ahh shit forget it.

 

[seat]

Didn't even crack a smile.

A self-referential reminder of how the show has become a shell of what it used to be.

 

[Ether_Snake]

The Simpsons became boring when the writers believed that making episodes about everyday life couldn't be funny anymore.

They should just make the characters grow up year over year and stick to the regular stories. Make Bart and Lisa change class already.

 

[smurfx]

and the simpsons is officially dead.

 

[hokahey]

I like it. Bunch of complainers.

 

[Marvie_3]

Uggh...I hope they go back to the other one. The only part about the new one that I liked was Maggie/Gerald.....

 

[Zoltrix]

I enjoyed it!

 

[Shadow_Child]

It's inferior but it's also not that bad.

 

[M3wThr33]

Awesome

 

[yoopoo]

That was awesome...LOVED IT!

 

[Divvy]

Not bad, a lot better than I had feared.

 

[McLovin]

I like it.. and you guys complaining probably stopped watching the show years ago. Admit it

 

[Ratba]

and the simpsons is officially dead.

I would have said dug up, reanimated, raped, and murdered again.

 

[clemenx]

WTF you can't change the opening, you just can't. And i don't think is bad but you do not change the opening.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Too bad the show has been irrelevant for almost a decade now.

 

[AniHawk]

I like it.. and you guys complaining probably stopped watching the show years ago. Admit it

I should have stopped, but the occasional decent episode now and then (like Dial N for Nerder) keeps me going.

Digital animation has killed this show just as much as the poor writing has.

 

[echoshifting]

Well yeah

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I'm always grateful that they never brought back Uncy Herb (Powell) back into the newer episodes. I always wanted more eps with him when I was younger, yet now realise what a blessing it is they never brought him into the raping of memories.

 

[Salmonax]

Just kidding.

Spoiler

It jumped a decade ago.

 

[watervengeance]

Who is that in the picture? I don't recognize him. It's been about 2-3 years since I've seen The Simpsons.

 

[Escape Goat]

at this point i dont really care what goes on in the simpsons

How did Jebadiah Springfield get his head back?

 

[ahoyhoy]

How did Jebadiah Springfield get his head back?

Bart put it back on at the end of that episode, without using any sort of glue or welding though... unless your referring to a newer episode which destroyed that canon, though.

[TheChaos]

I didn't like it, not to sound like a negative nancy. It just tries to encompass as many visual gags in to try to get a laugh in. I liked it better when things were a bit more subtle.

Also, how burnt out are the producers on the show already? It's been something like 20+ years.

 

[legend166]

Does anyone else think the 'wealthy Texan businessman' is by far the worst recurring character in the shows history? I've never seen him do anything funny, and the sterotype is just so old.

I'm referring to the beginning of the opening where Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney clearly cut it off, it lands on Ralph's head.

 

[B!TCH]

The PSP reference is cute.

The couch gag is a normal gag after the opening sequence. It's not part of it.

I'm sure they don't money. .i mean care.

Him and the dozens of other one dimensional characters they put in place of a decent plot.....

The couch gag is separate canon from the intro.
