What happens

No regular characters appear in this opening sequence. Against a blue sky with drifting tan clouds, the title card reading "THE SIMPSONS" in yellow letters fades in, with the letters later sitting over the clouds while a grey circular emblem with an atom symbol appears between the M and P. The scene then pans over a colorful animated view of Springfield, showing a nuclear plant with two grey cooling towers bearing atom symbols, a red-roofed building labeled "Springfield" near the towers, rows of pink and orange buildings, green hills, and a dark blue pile of tires in the foreground.
