Simpsons Trying to Be All Hip Again, Gets All Change-y

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

With last year's episode in which Homer tries to vote Democrat and has his machine insist on switching his vote, The Simpsons carried a biting political message four years too late. Now, as The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and even Saturday Night Live steal the Biting and Relevant Comedy mantle from Matt Groening, the show's producers have tried a new opening title sequence to celebrate their first episode in high definition.

What do you think? Is the Simpsons still a great show?

The new title sequence is nice, although the "chasing the couch" thing is way too long (althouth it probably will not be included all the time).

But the problem is that the Simpsons have not been great for ages now.
