This is sacrilege.

The Simpsons has a new opening sequence for the first time since 1989. Largely the changes made do not affect the order of the elements of the old introduction (e.g. Bart writes on a chalkboard, Lisa plays a sax solo, and Homer endangers his life in the family's driveway), but rather serve as a yearbook of characters and gags that have been created since the opening was last updated. Overall the changes make this feel like a bad clip show...come to think of it, that is redundant, so let's just call it a clip show.

  1. Yeah, I read about this and didn't even bother watching it (I did just now). It feels very "jump the shark" (like the 43rd chicken fight reference in Family Guy).
