The standard opening has had two major revisions. The first was at the start of the second season when the entire sequence was reanimated to improve the quality and certain shots were changed generally to add characters who had been established in the first season. The second was a brand - new opening sequence produced in high - definition for the show 's transition to that format beginning with "Take My Life, Please '' in season 20. The new opening generally followed the sequence of the original opening with improved graphics, even more characters, and new jokes.
