The Simpsons New Titles???

So has anyone else seen the new titles for the 'recently switched to HD' Simpsons? If not, they go a little something like this...



So what do you think? Personally, after 20 years, if something ain't broken there is no need to fix it. The original titles were iconic and one of the remaining specialties of the show but since the ratings dive, have FOX latched on that things need to change? I hear most of you commenting that mostly the new credits are the same, but my problem is, they are so much clearer! Yes, that should be better but it just seems that the show is going further and further away from it's traditional, original roots. The show that was always known for breaking boundaries has now given in as it used to be one of the last remaining shows with a continuous title theme but not anymore.
Let's just hope the quality of the writing has started to improve as well...
