      They probably did it that way so no one would accidentally sit on the baby, or the the baby wouldn't sit still with everyone running around.

    This live-action remake of the regular animated opening sequence of The Simpsons was aired at the beginning of the episode “Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife” (the 15th episode of the 17th season, aired in the United States on March 26, 2006). The opening sequence itself, originally created by British Sky Broadcasting, was taken from a Sky One promo of the show in UK. English comedian Ricky Gervais contributed to the writing of the episode and guest starred in it as Charles.
