Well, this should certainly be interesting. Any ideas for what the couch gag might be?

 

The longrunning animated Fox series The Simpsons is about to show you. The series will unveil a live-action opening sequence Sunday, 8 p.m. ET, a Fox spokeswoman announced Thursday. In it, the dysfunctional cartoon family — Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie — will be seen as they would appear in real life, played by lookalike actors.

 

"I'm just amazed there are people who want to be known for looking like the Simpsons," said Al Jean, the show's executive producer, in a statement.

 

A team from British network Sky One created and commissioned the live sequence, which apes the long-running series' memorable opening shots: Bart writing on the chalkboard, Homer pulling the nuclear rod out of his shirt and Maggie and Marge at the supermarket, a Fox spokeswoman said.

This has been on YouTube for awhile.
