It retains elements of the original.

Premieres in widescreen HD tomorrow.

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

Must have been Homer who mounted the new TV.

Re: The Simpsons: New HDTV Main Title Sequence (provided by FOX)

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?

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

Re: The Simpsons: New HDTV Main Title Sequence (provided by FOX)

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

Re: The Simpsons: New HDTV Main Title Sequence (provided by FOX)

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?

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

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

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

Re: The Simpsons: New HDTV Main Title Sequence (provided by FOX)

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.
