Since Episode 10 in Season 20 of The Simpsons, you may have noticed a slight change. They’re now in High Definition Widescreen with new open credits.

Just like the old opening credits, everyone watched the couch gags, and read what Bart Simpson wrote on the blackboard.

With the new opening credits, their are a few more things to look out for.

When the name The Simpsons is first shown, there is a bird that flies across the screen. See if you can guess which direction it fly’s.

The next thing to look out for is what Ralph Wiggum says when the head of the statue falls on him. Some of the things he says are: “It’s dark”, “hmmm” and  “I see stars”.

After that, when the camera is moving towards the school, there is a Billboard that changes each episode. Here are some images of a few of them.

When you reach the school, the Blackboard is always good to read.

When Bart leaves the school on his skateboard, Barney may also say something. In S20E11, he says “hey” rather than burp.

One final thing that you have to listen for is the tune Lisa plays on her saxophone when leaving her school’s practice session.

So there are something’s you may want to look for in each opening credit.

So to finish, did you know that when Marge runs over Homer, she is on a mobile phone?

Have a look for yourself.

As a Simpsons fan, I was disappointed that I heard The Simpsons will be axed on Chanel 10 and replaced with an extended 30 minutes of the news.

Simpsons cost $25000 per episode to broadcast, so the decision will save 10 about $6 million per year.

At least if they do axe the 6pm timeslot, they will continue to broadcast the continuing episodes and the 21, and 22 seasons that are to come.
