I guess I hate Lost, eh?
Can't have it both ways. Oh wait, you can, as long as it gets your immature point across.
I'm annoyed that they would feel the need to do something as stupid as that though. No one is going to watch that episode and NOT think "but... the show was on in the 90's... this doesn't make sense."
Really? The only shows I ever see are from the 4th to 8th seasons, daily at 5:00. Not that I watch them all that often, I've seen them all before. But given that I get 3 channels, it's nice to watch every once in a while. Just last week they showed Lisa the Iconoclast. A great episode.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
But the last new episode of The Simpsons I saw was fantastic, though admittedly that was a year ago. The movie was also top-notch. Perhaps I've just not watched enough of the recent Simpsons, but the few I have seen haven't been any worse.

Don't deny it! Embrace your contrarianness!omg rite said:
You know what's the stupidiest part of all this? Despite going through all this effort to recant all this, there is still the huge paradox of how Bart is 8 while Homer & Marge are in their early 40s yet they had Bart at the end of high school. I mean why go through all that effort with keeping that family's history up to date when there exists that huge flaw? :lolomg rite said:

This episode, the Arman Tanzarian one, and the show where a TV crew follows the lives of Springfield children for 30 years do not exist.Blader5489 said:

i don't like new simpsons as much as the rest of ya, but.......
since this season's probably getting a blu-ray release, i'll probably buy it and hope for the best, knowing how good it'll look.

What I miss most about the Simpsons was when the episodes focused on Springfield and all of its crazy residents. There's so much pop-culture and random shit in the show now that I just don't find myself watching it anymore.

I think it's fine, some of you are just too attached to nostalgia. I'll agree the show isn't as good as it was say... 13 years ago but are you actually expecting it to get better? Honestly, I haven't watched The Simpsons regularly in ages but I catch a random episode every few months and they're funny, same with the movie - better than 3/4 of the shit cartoons out there.
Also, I missed that retcon last year, sad

I dislike what the Simpsons has become as much as the next guy, and am still conflicted about the new opening, as while its not drastically different it definitely feels 'off', but I'm still very confused by comments like this:
While Homer getting injured does seem to be more of a staple nowadays, he fell off of Springfield Gorge - twice! - back in season 2 (the second of which was done for nothing more than a joke). Homer injury jokes are nothing new at all.

AniHawk said:It was in quite a lot of the old episodes, but it wasn't the focal point of the comedy. And when it was the punchline to something, it was usually fucking hilarious.
For example:
Or the classic:
Number One: All Stonecutters must take the Leap of Faith. If you survive this five-story plunge, your character will be proven.
[Homer whimpers]
Moe: Happy landings! [pushes him]
[Homer falls two feet onto the floor; everyone laughs] [the floor collapses and Homer falls through with a yell and a crash -- five times consecutively]
Homer: [from the bottom] I think I have to do it again. My blindfold came off.
:lol I love this scene. Too bad I couldn't find a clip of it.

This picture symbolizes why the new episodes of The Simpsons just don't touch the golden years. The characters were actually characters.Darko said:

A new intro is actually a good thing and should've been done much earlier as a kind of warning that this show has nothing in common with the old Simpsons. These days it happens I watch the intro of the show, hoping it would be one of the good seasons, only to be disappointed.

Who is that in the picture? I don't recognize him. It's been about 2-3 years since I've seen The Simpsons.
Chazz Busby a dance teacher. He's first and so far only appearance was in Smoke on the Daughter.
New opening wasn't really that bad. I just think it was stupid that Homer actually got hit by the car

Season 19 had some pretty awesome episodes:
- Little Orphan Millie
- Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
- Dial 'N' for Nerder (one of my all time favorites)
- Smoke on the Daughter
... But that's about it. 4 good/great episodes in season isn't really that good achievement
way more

I guess I don't care except that I'm amazed by what these people draw out of what amounts to the same old opening with some new background details thrown in.
I wish I was perceptive enough to read so much into a one minute opening introduction.
This theory is very interesting. In one of the Simpson's commentaries Groening notes the the animators drew a sequence where a motocross biker slams a basketball with much more intensity and detail than the rest of the episode. He reasoned that giving animators cooler stuff to animate made them do better work. That was partly how Futurama was born.
I have noticed the camera angles less inventive and while the detail is increased the framing is more like Friends than the classic movies The Simpsons used to parody.
But that episode was awesome. It just made more sense to me for them to explain the ages by rewriting history than having them grow up. So what if they create a obvious break in physical reality? That's what The Simpson's does.
Although when Sally Fourth did it I was like, WTF? but now I'm Ok with it.
