The Simpsons goes High Definition

Our favorite animated characters are finally coming to us in high definition glory. Live-action shows started switching to HD few years ago, but animated shows had slower transition for some reason, and the producers of The Simpsons have decided to do the switch. Tonight's episode will be the first ever in HD (not counting the movie). It will also have a brand new opening sequence to go with that increased resolution.

I've also read somewhere that South Park is also going HD when it returns this March. Could this be the year when everything gets broadcast in HD? One can only hope.

Here's the new Simpsons opening sequence, make sure to watch the high quality version on YouTube.

  1. As soon as we started watching last night's Simpsons, I said to my wife, "There's something different here. The colours are much sharper and the images are bigger!" She then pointed out that there were extra characters in the opening.

    I didn't put together that it was in HD until I just now read your post. Thanks!
