New Simpson opening

Posted on:

You have seen this doing the rounds on the internet but I thought I would post it for those who hadn’t seen it. It seems that the people at Fox thought it was time to update the opening to The Simpsons. It is the first time it was been updated in nearly twenty years. For the most part, I like it, it includes a lot of the characters that have been introduced or have become more important. I like that Maggy has her little fist shake to the other baby. I also like seeing side-show bob trying to kill Bart as he goes passed.

It is an interesting move to put the Simpsons in High-definition, as cartoons is not really the best media to transfer to this format. Becuase of the nature of cartoons, with big blocks of colour, they do are not effected by low video quality.

What do you think of it?

This is a question I am asked all that time and the answer is yes. More than ever, more companies are putting their programming online. All five main channels in the UK are doing this. Here are some of the best and how to get them.
