For the past twenty years The Simpsons has been one of my favorite shows not only because of its razor sharp satire and ever evolving animation but also because it's not above making fun of Fox and they get away with it... which especially in today's political climate is pretty amazing. Although I was disappointed when, recently, they worked a reference to Universal Studios (where the Simpsons ride has just opened) into the script... anyway, the show has just been renewed for it's 20th season which ties it with Gunsmoke as televisions longest running show. That's pretty damn amazing. Not always perfect but fairly consistently funny and that's quite a feat to achieve for 19 consecutive years.
Anyway, someone with even more time on their hands than I put together a five minute high speed montage of all the Simpsons' opening credit 'couch gag' (where all five family members gather to watch tv) and it's pretty dizzying but hilarious and a not so subtle reminder that the Simpsons don't get older, they get yellower. No, wait, that's not right.. they get betterer drawn.
No, wait. D'oh!
