The funny part about this thread is all of the people saying the show is terrible now but then go on about various episodes they've seen because they keep watching it anyway. :lol:SpaceMoose

When you want to watch the new King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad on Sunday's its hard to avoid watching the Simpsons as well.

The new intro matches the lameness of the new episodes. Perfect.

Meh...not much different. I haven't watched this programme in years, so it doesn't make much difference to me.

Why would you want to watch any of those shows? They're all just as bad, if not worse, than The Simpsons imo.

King of the Hill is an amazing satire of the redneck stereotype. Family Guy still can pull off a decent set of jokes every once in a while. And American Dad is actually a decent show. The thing is, rarely do I ever watch the Sunday primetime cartoons anymore... they've all gone down hill for a while now.

There should be a Simpsons finale where Ralph Wiggum just kills them all in a psychotic frenzy.

They seemed to have up the animation framerate on some scenes of that Intro. I actually enjoyed it...they filled in all the new characters and updated the old characters like Apu with his huge family.

I thought it was pretty good.

Homer actually gets smashed haha

at the end they have an HDTV which is pretty good.

Everything about it is the same only little changes.

Overall it wasn't bad.

I do not see why people do not like it. At least they did not change everything and made a completely new intro. They kept many of the same parts that the intro had before. That being said I thought the couch thing was pretty funny.

I was pretty outraged when i saw the title but i'm glad all they did was update the characters and add some new references (Mr. Sparkle, Tomacco, etc). I just didn't like the minute-long couch gag.

The extended ending kind of killed it. It seems slower. But I like that they tried to incorporate all of the series regulars. Sajedene
yah, there was really no reason for the whole 2minutes but i guess it wont be the same every episode so they wont all be that long.

The new intro wasn't atrocious, but it was pushing it lengthwise. The real atrocities are all the episodes this milennium. Shockingly awful, and an insult to anyone who loved the programme previously. Lisa is not a child anymore, just a propaganda spouting, self rightous whiny *****. Marge should never have been allowed to change from the bedrock of relevant normality in the family, Bart is utterly redundant as a character now, other than a lackey for Homer, and Homer Simpson? for this we need a whole new paragraph.

Homer has changed from a three-dimensional archetype of consumerism (albeit a rather dim-witted one) to an empty shell of idiocy, whose only purpose is as a catalyst for non-sensical plot lines and events. He has turned into a Peter Griffin clone (there's nothing wrong with this in other contexts, mind) with no trace of a personality. This seams to have led to a downwards spiral of standards for consistency: We had Homer doing X so why not Y?

Celebrity Guests took over the asylum a long time ago, seamingly having entire episodes written solely for their inclusion. The seeds were sown when they started appearing as themselves, and at some point the writers just handed over the controls. Ricky Gervais even wrote an episode, for God's sake.

The satire has long since changed from the cutting, precise and subtle to the kind South Park indulges in (very well indeed, I might add), but the Simpsons weilds it with neither the panache nor savagery required for this to appear as anything other than patronising, Also, the episodes never satirise both sides of the same issue, which again seems essential if the satire is to be this blatant.

Plots now seem to be written on a "what if?" basis. "What if Homer does this?" "What if Lisa does that?" "What if this happens?" and so on. Presumably we are supposed to be impressed by the sheer wackiness of the events and the utter lack of characterisation. How do we get from normal setting A to wacky setting B? Simple! We let our old friend plot drift run rampage. Chuck enough new developments into a story and no-one will care that not a single iota of focus has been cast on the plot.

Some of the new crop of characters are also used pointlessly and far too frequently. Mad Cat lady is the worst example of this. She throws cats around and speaks incomprehensibly? That's self evidently funny, and we can bung her in anywhere when we run out of ideas.

Could we ever have an episode like "Selma's Choice" again? Of course not. we would not have even a fraction of the realism, and imagining the travesty that would result if it was attempted now is very depressing indeed. We are getting to the point, if we have not already exceeded it, where the Simpsons will have more atrocious episodes than those that the original fans remember so fondly. I wish it would just end now.

Is that going to be regular or just a one off? I'm kind of annoyed they have changed it... couldn't they just have re-done the old one in exactly the same way but in an HD resolution?

The new intro should have been done long ago. The Simpsons have overstayed their welcom by a very long time and is not funny anymore. It's embarrassing sometimes at how corny the jokes could be. I'm also tire of those lengthy couch gags. The writers can't figure out anything short and sweet, which is how it should be, so they create the most bizarre things that come to their head.

Cool, I am defiantly going to watch it tonight. I really just started getting into the Simpsons last year so I missed a lot of the glory days. Maybe I get the seasons DVD sometime.

It's fine. Looks like they mostly added more stuff to the classic intro. The extended couch chase, I just hope that was only for that episode, and it wont have that all the time.

Doesn't really seem like they changed much. Threw in some new things happening during intro. No biggie. Don't see why they needed to change it at all. But i did love the couch part at end :) heehee was funny.

I've watch the Simpson's for as long as I can remember so I thought I was going to hate the new intro. I actually thought it wasn't that bad other than the ending. It's good to see they added the other characters.

The one thing that bugged me was Barney. The new intro he was a drunk. The epsiode when he became sober was the epsiode they played over and over again on my station. Did I miss something?

i saw that, i don't like the new opening. some of them seem like the bad jokes they are saying since when the show started to go downhill. i enjoy watching the older episodes more then the newer ones.
