How many different characters usually appear on the Simpsons' lawn in the cartoon's opening sequence?

Bart skateboards across the lawn after skimming over Homer's car, but no-one actually sets foot on the lawn. Lisa cycles up the drive and turns onto the path without touching the lawn. Mar 23 05, 7:34 AM

So where exactly are all that crowd of characters that the scene pans past before it gets to the drive/garage sequence? It looks like they're on the lawn to me. Mar 23 05, 5:10 PM

Yo thanks Peasy-dude! So it is a pan across all of Springfield not the family's lawn. Quite a lot goes on in that half-second doesn't it? Mar 23 05, 6:51 PM

So you agree then, that only Bart is 'on the lawn'? Mar 24 05, 12:46 AM

If it gives you closure OK, I'll admit it may be true(?). Mar 24 05, 12:57 PM
