In the hit viral going around the world we get to see what Bart, Homer, Marg, Lisa and Maggie would look like if they were humans. Simpson's maker Matt Groening has approved the human version of the show's opening credits to promote the brand new series." Amazing attention to detail.

    Matt Groening has approved the human version of the show's opening credits to promote the brand new series.

    When I read the above I thought Groening must be promoting a brand new TV show... except there is no mention of this. Do they mean 'new series' as in a new season? Is this a British English - American English thing?

    Assuming that this is just a one off opening sequence for the latest SEASON of the Simpsons I don't get why this is news. They always do something different with the opening sequence. So they are using live actors. Big deal. If they were making an entire show with real actors or if they were creating some spin off show with real actors (which is how I had read this) then maybe that would be news.

    just my 2 cents
