New Simpsons Opening

The long running television sitcom, "The Simpsons" have redesigned their opening sequence that has been the same for nearly twenty years. The reason behind this is because now the show will be broadcast in HD(high definition. The basic premise of the opening is the same, Bart is in trouble and is writing on the blackboard, Homer leaves the nuclear plant with some radioactive material, Lisa plays her saxophone as she leaves music class, Marge goes shopping with Maggie, and the family all comes together on their couch at the end. However the details of each act is different, there are more characters added to the background and some characters are doing different thnings in this sequence then they did to the old one. Personally I feel the change is unnecessary. It is not that the new sequence is entertaining or well done. But there was nothing wrong with the old sequence. It went hand in hand with the show. It was somthing synominous with the show. Even though this was an unnecessary change, it could have been worse; they could of changed the nature of the characters themselves. It is still related to the humorous nature of the show.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZGz1Ajg7QU
