The government may have pushed back what was supposed to be D-Day when stations were originally set to switch over from analog to digital this Tuesday, but much of the television world is already turning their wheels in preparation for the switch. Tonight Fox will air the first-ever episode of The Simpsons in HD. And to ring it in, the show is premiering dramatic changes to its opening credit sequence for the first time in its twenty year run!
Worst. Credits. Ever? We don't think so. The next major switchover in animation comes March 11th when South Park goes HD. And NY1 says that nearly 500 stations are sticking to that February 17th conversion date, because they say it's too costly to keep broadcasting in analog.
