Up on The Simpsons, they're revising the long-time opening to fill the format of the wider, high-def teevee screen. Same elements that everyone has known and loved, now updated to reflect two decades of the shows ever-broadening scope ... and the changes brought by last year's feature.


Now it's time for Family Guy to revise their opening.

Huh. I remember the last time the opening changed was right after the first season...

 

[FREDERICK F. M]

So does that mean the actual episodes will also be in high def, or just the intros? It would seem silly to have a 16x9 intro and cut to a 4x3 picture once the episode begins.

At any rate, it's about time. Let's hope other animated programs follow suit.

I hope they redo the FG opening soon, possibly one that changes each episode like Simpsons and AD.

...I don't know how to feel about that.

...Yay?

 

[Mayra M]

...Maybe Cleveland won't be so bad after all. :sweat:

 

[Kunmui]

Or maybe it will be a whole lot worse...:shrug:

As much as revising openings seems intresting, why don't they do the same for the entire episodes, or is that all too time consuming?

After almost 20 years you'd think they would've changed it long time ago.

 

[alec_higdon2001]

Seems intresting, if it really does have changes. If it's just the same intro, but only in HD then meh...

The last time Simpsons changed the opening were for introducing the characters from the movie and the British live-action opening. It would be funny to see the series in widescreen. I wonder if the series will be in widescreen if the show goes Blu-Ray?

 

[shahab29inch]

Wow, after 20+ years, they finally decided on a change. Now, this will be interesting to see.

 

[lddhuong]

Why do I get a feeling that it'll end up as a gag?

 

[m3k]

Change eh? Well its about dang time
Having Family Guy change its theme wouldn't be to bad as well.

 

[Miss Jordan]

And have a Meg abuse joke thrown there?

HELL NO.

 

[leafyme22]

And how do you know that they'd do that?

 

[Lims]

Trust me, they freakin' will.

Sorry, I like the first Family Guy seaons better, when the other characters were likeable.

EDIT: Also, because it's the current FG writing staff, like Sketch said below.

 

[Smile...x]

Because it's the current Family Guy writing staff. :anime:

So The Simpsons is getting an intro update. Interesting... very interesting.

I am honestly surprised this didn't happen ten years ago.

I'll kinda miss the old opening, but I've already got it 248 times on DVD, so I guess it's not too big a loss. In any case, I'll be interested to see what the new opening entails. I'm guessing they'll probably remove Bleeding Gums Murphy from the line of characters that Bart skateboards past on the sidewalk, for one thing.
