New Version
The intro closely resembles the first version, only differences are that it now scans past the Statue with the statue head falling on Ralph, then it pans to the school showing the Billboard Gag (Changes everytime). Then it enters Bart's classroom where he is writing the chalkboard gag, the bell rings and he comes out the front doors of the school where Barney is covered with leaves. Then it pans over to Homer in the Nuclear Power Plant with little difference apart from the fact that Lenny is putting up a sign saying 3 days without accident, but fall when the whistle is heard. The camera then goes to Lisa playing the saxophone and gets sent out, but pops her head back in to finish her song. After that the camera moves to Marge at the grocery store where there is little difference other than Maggie shaking her fist at Baby Gerald. Then nothing changes after this.
