Simpsons in HD
Tonight marked the Simpsons jump to HD. I’d say the biggest advantage is that it’s now in widescreen; the animation doesn’t benefit all that much from HD because it’s a lot of solid color swaths. I did notice a few scenes that had small details placed in the background, such as text, that could easily be distinguished. The beginning of the show was new, too, which was kind of neat. It made me think about Bart vs. The Space Mutants on NES. Supposedly South Park is going to be in HD this coming season although I don’t know when Comedy Central HD is going to land on Comcast here in the Twin Cities. Cartoon Network HD would be great, too. I picked up my HD box back in August and I don’t think any new HD content has been added in that six month span. Time to get to work Comcast Twin Cities!
