The percentage of returned gadgets that have nothing wrong with them.
Of the $13.8 billion worth of returned products in 2007, only 5 percent were because gadgets were actually broken, according to a 2008 study.

Terrible. Although, now that I think of it, the intro does match the show better. It's just that now they're both worthless.
Their flat-screen TV is connected using a composite video cable, no HDTV at the Simpson's house.
Maybe the three cables that have the ends ripped off and are arcing are component cables? But knowing Homer he doesn't have it hooked up correctly so you're probably right
I noticied that too and made a comment over at TVSquad
This episode is really irritating in SD.
It's cut off something terrible. They should have letterboxed it. :/
Your standard-def Fox station cropped it?? I was watching Simpsons in HD but I read the SD broadcast would be letterboxed. My Fox station (Fox 5, New York) shows HD King of the Hill in letterbox, so I'll assume Simpsons was letterboxed too. Sounds like showing it full-screen was your local affiliate's decision, not the network's.
Fox 31 in Denver cropped it in SD as well. Characters cut out of frame while they were talking... It was such a hatchet job that even my wife noticed!
I thought it was funny that the new TV in the intro was connected with composite cables instead of...well, anything that'll carry an HD signal.
That aside....honestly, I kind of liked the Simpsons better in SD. Maybe because I've been watching this since I was about ten years old and only had a crappy 19" CRT that was older than me. But something about this just feels wrong.
The Simpsons is just getting on with the times, nothing wrong with that. Just say goodbye to nostalgia.
Anyway, I recorded this episode. I'll most likely watch it later today. I'll miss the old TV :(
Looks Like this recession has caused the price of maggie to drop :( who says it doesnt affect us all.
Haha I noticed the price too! Much more readable in HD!
no more NRA4EVER :(
Thank you fox for finally putting Simpsons and King of the hill in HD! Seth should take notice that HD is the way to go! Family Guy in HD in 2009!
I get Family Guy in hd on TBS
Watched it tonight since it's in HD. First time in years. Too bad it being in HD didn't make it funny.
lol I'll pay that
I love how their new HDTV has a new Digital-Converter Box. HAHAHAHA.
Of course, not the first time the Simpsons has been HD. The Movie and Ride (at Universal Studios) both did that over a year ago ;)
It looked great, as did King of the Hill.. then it went back to ugly ass SD with Family Guy & American Dad..even my wife was like "Eww.." I almost choked on my water when she said it.
too bad the show still sucks
unfrotunately the show is still garbage-like
Best looking episode ever.
I guess the Power Ranger/Pokemon Generation doesn't get it. Ha ha ha ha ha, Or maybe these are the Leave to Beaver people.
Absolutely fantastic, except for all the mosquito noise added by the carrier.
Did you notice Maggie was worth $243.26. Funny !!!
If by $243.26 you really mean $486.52, then yes, yes we did notice.
surely the cumlutaive total was already at $243.26 before maggie was swiped. After she gets swiped the value is $486.52 which means that she was worth $243.26 (486.52-243.26). Unless you say that the breakfast cereal was worth $243.26 on its own then that's a different arguement!
