It retains elements of the original.

Premieres in widescreen HD tomorrow.

Some will scream sacrilege, but I liked it.

I liked it. Can't wait to see it in HD

Arthur Dent

Nice! I like it!

Lateralus

Great!

boogieman03

I like it.

fumanstan

I dug it too. Kept enough of the original along with some cool new stuff. Didn't care for that particular couch gag though

Deftones

awesome. has all the updates from the show over the many years.

Nick Martin

Must have been Homer who mounted the new TV.

sb5

Yeah, I like it too.

islandclaws

Honestly, it's about time they updated the opening. I think it looks great. So, is the show going to be broadcast in HD as well now? Or was that done just for the title sequence?

RayChuang

Sacrilege? I like it because while it's recognizable compared to the original, they updated it enough to be ingenious in its own right.

The Dude

Looks good, hope the whole show is in HD now.

Rockmjd23

Makes sense. The show barely resembles what it used to be so might as well have a new opening.

Deftones

whole show is in HD now.

dx23

Like it!

Adboy151

if for only the Mr. Sparkle reference.

I just saw a comercial for The Simpsons in HD during Cops tonight and was going to start a thread but you guys beat me to it. Looks cool enough to tune in tomorrow. I wonder if other Fox animated shows will soon follow in HD?

DerangedHermit

I think everything but Family Guy will be HD in the next few months or so.

Deftones

King of the Hill already went HD last month, IIRC.

My Other Self

Love it.

DerangedHermit

That seems like such a waste since it'll be gone after this season.

Is the opening really gonna be almost 2 minutes long?

I haven't watched The Simpson's in years (used to be one of my favorite shows) but 2 minutes seems to be awfully long for an opening and that couch gag wasn't funny or interesting in the least.

I really liked all the extra stuff that was added up till the family reached their living room though.

An extra long couch gag signals an episode that ran short. Future episodes probably won't all have that long a credit sequence.

Pre-couch, the opening is only 1:07.
