The sequenceeditThis sequence opens with the shows title in yellow approaching the camera through misty cumulus clouds1 in a dark blue sky.

Marges shopping cart. As Marge looks around panicked for her child, Maggie pops out of a shopping bag, and Marge breathes a sigh of relief. Lisa is shown next at band practice.

Mr. Largo stops the rest of the band to order Lisa out of the rehearsal for her unorthodox saxophone playing. She continues to improvise on her way out of the room to grab her bike. Movie Dvd Tales Of The Black Freighter. Shots of the family on their way home to 7. Evergreen Terrace are then shown. Homer drives in his car, feeling something down the back of his shirt. He retrieves the uranium rod and throws it out the window. As it bounces off the curb near Moes Tavern, Bart skateboards by, noticing a bank of televisions in a store window he passes showing Krusty the Clown he then passes a bus stop and steals the bus stop sign. The five unknown unnamed characters waiting at the stop then chase after a bus that fails to stop for them. As soon as Bart crosses the road, a car drives past and Maggie is seen inside at the steering wheel but when the camera zooms out, her wheel is revealed to be a childrens toy and Marge is actually the one driving with Maggie mimicking Marges movements as Marge and Maggie both honk their horns. Lisa is shown biking down the street with her books tied in the front basket and her saxophone case at the back. As she hits a bump, the books fly upwards but are restrained by the strap. She passes a tree and arrives at home. She hops off her bike on the driveway and grabs her books and saxophone, all while the bike continues to roll unaided into the garage. She runs towards the front door as Homer drives up the driveway, parking his car in front of the garage. Bart bounces his skateboard off the roof of the car and then touches down and skates to the front door. As Homer steps out of the car, he screams at the sight of Marges car coming towards him. The shot cuts to Marges point of view as Homer runs from the car into the house through a door in the garage. Upon entering their house, they speed from different directions towards the living room couch, segueing into the couch gag. After the gag, the television displays the executive producer credits. Notably in Bart the Genius, the famous high pitched scream of Homers when he runs from Marges car into the house is cut. The scream is added in the third episode, Homers Odyssey. The TV version of this opening has the caption In Stereo Where Available. For the second season, the original opening was completely re animated. Most shots were very closely copied with some shots, such as Homers first shot appearing to be traced. The coloring was changed on most shots, and the characters and animation cleaned up. A few shots were replaced or modified In Barts chalkboard gag, the school is now orange with purple accents instead of lavender. In Homers first shot at the power plant, Mr. Burns and Waylon Smithers study certain plans in the background in place of the unknown co worker. When the end of shift whistle blows, Mr. Burns checks his wristwatch to see if it is working. When Bart skateboards down the sidewalk, the scenery is different, the bank of televisions is changed and shorter, and Bart no longer notices them. Instead, he weaves in between a series of secondary characters who crowd the sidewalk. This segment is notably shorter than the original skateboard segment. Lisas biking home shot is cut, and instead, upon Marge and Maggie honking their horns, there is a whip pan across the town, featuring a significant number of secondary characters, towards the Simpsons house. Instead of Lisa arriving first, Homer arrives first and has to dodge her saying Doh after he gets out of his car as she cycles up the driveway and bikes towards the front door. Finally, the last shot of the family television features a totally different design for the television, which has a more retro look than Season 1s.

The camera then zooms past the nuclear power plant and into the town square where Jimbo and Kearneysaw off the head of the statue of Jebediah Springfield which falls onto the head of Ralph Wiggum, who is holding an ice cream cone. As it falls on him, he inadvertently tosses the cone onto the statues face. The camera then weaves through several buildings and structures, featuring a billboard gag towards Springfield Elementary and zooms through the familiar window where Bart writes lines as punishment on the chalkboard. The bell rings and Bart skateboards out of the school doors, plowing into a pile of leaves raked up by Groundskeeper Willie and exposing Barney Gumble underneath. Homer is shown leaving the power plant and, as in the previous opening sequences, the green uranium bar falls into his clothing as he leaves. This time, in the background of this scene, Lenny Leonard is standing on a ladder trying to change the days without an accident sign from 2 to 3 days but then falls off the ladder onto Carl Carlson who is standing at the bottom of the ladder.
