The Simpsons now in HD

In it's 20th season, the Simpsons has gone Hi-Def!  Though it doesn't look too much different, it is cool to see it in widescreen now.  So no more using the old footage of the opening scene.  The opening has a few references to going HD - on the chalkboard, Bart wrote "HDTV is worth every cent".  Then at the end of the couch gag, they have a widescreen version of their purple television - complete with rabbit ears!  Funny to see it fall off the wall as if it were mounted like a LCD/Plasma screen.  I'm really glad I don't have to see the black bars on the sides anymore.
