New Simpsons intro - WTF

Its not that radically different, although the couch part was f***ing dumb.
 
Remade for HD obviously.
 
Doesn't matter, Simpsons has sucked for the past decade.
 
Interesting, but it doesn't hide the fact that the Simpson's is ****ing awful these days.
 
I actually laughed quite alot at the new Simpsons episode, but then the last time I did watch an episode was... um, I think it was when Keifer Sutherland/Jack Bauer did a guest voice as an army general about two years ago. That was ok.
 
Was alright, just weird seeing a new one after all these years. I enjoyed the couch part though.
 
There's nothing wrong with it per se, it just seems entirely pointless to make a new one after all this time.
 
I still think that they produce a good episode here and there, but the low points are so low that I've stopped watching regularly. My friends and I are those annoying sort of people who can communicate using only Simpsons quotes, but even we started watching a new episode recently and just sat laugh-less for ten minutes and then turned the channel out of embarrassment.
 
I hate the new intro. It tries way too hard to, at every opportunity, throw in contemporary character references on top of the perfectly-reasonable and somewhat understated original bits.

I might like it in a year or so.
 
They can't afford HD. Funny that they added a digital converter box to the new TV as well.
 
I thought this intro was just a one of a kind? They aren't actually going to keep using something similiar, are they? I mean, even the 'old' intro was unique and varied enough to be something different for a few seasons worth. Are they not going to go back to doing quick 5 second intros, just now in HD and Dolbysomethingoranother?
 
This is the new intro on every Simpsons episode from now on. They'll probably create a shorter one like they did with the old one, but the old intro would have looked terrible in HD so they made this sharp and crisp one.
 
IIRC, they already made a new Intro for the first episode of the 19th Season that made references to the movie, and then they just reverted back to the old 2nd Season one for the next episode. Which was odd.

I have the first ten seasons on DVD, but by the time the twentieth season comes out on Blu-Ray, I think I will have stopped collecting. Looking over this season's episodes, I can't actually remember having watched half of them. It's utterly disposable comedy featuring too many heavy handed C-List celebrity cameos and parodies of crap that we'll need liner notes to explain to us barely a year from now... or of stuff so firmly entrenched in pop-culture, that the show seems out of touch in finally mentioning it (so the show that made cutting edge snide remarks about Internet fandom gives us IPod parodies half a decade after everyone started using theirs as a doorstop, and several decades after pointing out that Apple products are expensive was incisive commentary).

The Movie wasn't that bad IMO. I think though, it gains a lot simply by comparison to the TV series and to the Straight to DVD Futurama specials, which have pretty consistently mined the mediocrity mine.
 
I doubt it, I think it's just a one off. It breaks the couch gag tradition.
Great in High Quality BTW.
 
They change the intro slightly evwery now and then, although this is probably the biggest single change so far.
 
why groening, why must you taunt me with such rapery of classic simpsons?
 
Ehhh, it has changed before. Probably too long ago for a lot of people to remember I guess.
 
Yes. lol
Do you know I do these things just to annoy you
Because I love you
Ha, no I don't
I really do <3
Maybe..
Sorry I got bored :/
 
Annoy me with amusement?

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID.
 
What, is that edit a desperate attempt to have me acknowledge your signature? Because I never will.

...

Wait. SHIT.
 
What? Ofcourse you've seen my sig. you did write it after all.
Idiot..
I'm not joking :)
 
Haha, well now I'm crying so suck on that.
 
^^ Thank you for your input regarding this topic. I think this discussion mas merit and warrants further investigation.

EDIT: I do think the sound editors just love pissing off people like me that can tell the difference between the physical saxophone Lisa plays and the audible saxophone.

Anyone who knows anything can pointedly tell that Lisa's saxophone is a tenor, yet the sound of a bari sax is edited in. Those hacks.
 
Saw this a few weeks ago, it's not that bad really, it looks nice. But I prefer the older one, it just seems more right
 
Color's definitely better but the whole thing was just retarded.
HDTV is overrated.
 
Fox apparently just signed for two more seasons of the Simpsons. Speculation is that they'll try for 25 in total, since that'll give them a shot at some major record or other.

First person to guess the famous Simpsons' moment that goes with this news gets... well, I have nothing to give. But you know the one.
