when did the simpsons get a new intro?
2009
"take my life, please" (season 20) was the first episode of "the simpsons" to air in 720p high-definition television, though not the first time "the simpsons" appeared in high-definition, as "the simpsons movie" was rendered in hd. this episode was the first to feature the new opening sequence. it was the first major permanent change to the show's introduction since the opening added in season two; previous changes have included variations in the duration of the intro, and special one-shot introductions for the "treehouse of horror" halloween episodes, as well as a handful of others. this new intro also includes some 3d animation when the camera pans over springfield. "the simpsons" creator matt groening told the "new york post": "the clouds at the very beginning of the main title were always unsatisfying to me. my original direction to the animators was to make the clouds as realistic as possible, and as we go through the clouds we enter this cartoon universe of "the simpsons". finally, after a couple of decades, they've gotten closer to what i had in my mind. not perfect, but better."
