The Simpsons changed the intro, I guess thats due in part to them going HD.

Wow, what an overhaul on the clarity of the show. The changed intro is cool. I like the old one better. How are the new episodes now? I have not seen a new Simpson's episode in over a year.

But can any of you tell me why they kept some of those original scenes and what the running gag is ?

I can tell you why they kept some of the original scenes, but the second question i don't understand.

there are proberly 3 main reasons:

1. Its nostalgic and recognizable.
2. Some of these scenes are just really good and allmost priceless, such as the writing on the board and the DOW at the car.
3. It shows some character development, if you don't know the simpsons you would proberly know the roles of the main characters, as you see Marge is the typical mother, lisa the smart kid, bart the little devil, maggie the little cutie and homer the dumb one....

I've heard that recent Simpsons episodes have been following Family Guys style of humor. I like Family Guy, but I think Simpsons definitely need to hold on to their own style of humor. They need some new writers.

Running gags are: What Bart writes on the chalkbord
Tune Lisa plays on her sax
What the scanner says when Maggie is scanned
and of obviously, the couch sit down

The Simpson at one time was a good show but anymore they are just something to pass the time
