The Simpsons Meet HD

After 20 years, The Simpsons had a new opening last night. Sure each week the part with the couch changes, but this week the entire opening was new.

The reasoning, it was the first Simpsons in HD.

In case you missed it, here you go:



Now this episode was great for a number of reasons. First off it was in High Def. That means that the picture was super crisp and the animation looked clean. It looked like The Simpsons movie if you saw that.

Also, the episode was great because it was funny. I like laughing. Why do you think I'm friends with Brandon.

And pay close attention to the new opening because all of the characters from the show are in it somehow.

Afternoon Rundown

Here's a couple of links to keep all of you happy out there in cyberland.

If you haven't heard, television is going to hell. Ratings are down, shows suck and its probably going to get worse. If the writers strike wasn't the worse possible thing that could happen to home entertainment, than bringing back the writers had to be. I'm sorry if you come up with material for sitcoms which are 100 percent predictable and formula-based, you shouldn't be asking for a pay-raise. It's mindless.

And Reality TV Shows? I think it's society's way of dumbing down people. Luckily, people are getting sick of it. American Idol is ever losing viewership which is saying something. If you're looking for a perspective, I also wrote about how much the networks suck in the latest edition of The Easterner.

And another great article from the EWU journalism department. A look back at when Mt. St. Helens blew up 28 years ago, blanketing Washington with a wonderful layer of ash.

And if you're in to humor, head on over to Ghosts of Wayne Fontes for a column I wrote about badly conceived sports movies.
