Revision as of 15:54, October 5, 2010

When The Simpsons opening sequence was reanimated for its conversion to high definition in 2009, initially, during the screen showing the title, only one gag was used: a three-eyed crow would fly by it. Starting with the Season 21 episode "Bart Gets a "Z", the gag would become a changing gag for each episode just like the billboard gags, the chalkboard gags, and the couch gags.
