There's an episode where fat tony is travelling on I-95.. which is on the east coast. Good guess, but very very wrong. The simpsons live somewhere on the east coast.. there is a town in Connecticut w/ a nuclear power plant, off of 95, and next to Flanders (niantic) CT... id guess they live in CT
Well, have just saw a repeat of the episode where Homer, Moe and Barney join the navy, and command a sub (on the chart shown) Homer hits the comapss on the map then heads into Russian waters, after leaving obviously the west coast of the states, where Springfield Harbour was shown to be located. I have always thought they livein either northern California or Washington State, as they have always featured snow capped mountains and ocean in their day to day activities!!!
That's been my guess for quite sometime now, because I know they don't live that far away New York, or at least it is implied...Also, I think if you follow the clues, you need to find a state with the death penalty. I'm from Canada and I really don't know many of the states all that well in all honesty.
Not far away from New York? I doubt that; in a way. They seem to be near every other place in the US. There's for example the episode where Moe decides to take all his regulars for a part trip to Las Vegas but Homer can't come along because he first has to drop off Bart on a boys camp for disobedients, then he's going to drive and catch up with Moe and the rest. That certainly implies they must live near Nevada too, no?
He was dropping bart off in Oregon only after bart wasnt able to board the airplane... Oregon isnt all that far from Nevada.. when compared to NY to Nevada. Remember the Ms. Plopwells episode where they said the grand prize was a trip to Hawaii... then changed that to Hartford CT? I cant recall any other time Connecticut was mentioned... Nearly every other state was mentioned and bashed. Florida.. .americas wang; Massachusetts.. Taxachusettes; plus MANY others. Also.. if youve ever watched Futurama, theres an episode where they follow Beck around in their VW van... They show an ariel map of the US... start their tour from?? Good Ol' Connecticut (bridgeport area actually) so groening has some attraction to Connecticut, at least in my opinion anyways.
Holy crap. you people are f*&king morons! It was A MAP. Thats how i know. I know what the coast line of connecticut looks like. AND the start position of the map was at the mouth of the f*&king housatonic river and Long Island Sound. It would be hard to confuse mass. for ct on a map. You my friend are probably the stupidest person ive encountered this year. Congrats! Please, dont reply to my posts w/ nonsensical dribble, it's quite annoying.
Homer and ned drove to vegas in less than a day, there was a prize trip to ct, theres no springfield in ct or electric chair. And there's no reason to bee a jack*ss
It was Springfield Missouri. In the episode where the Simpsons get a sattelite, the beam is coming from the middle of the U.S. so it can't be Massachusettes. And in the news paper, there was a poll on whether the Simpsons were from Illinois or Missouri (Missouri won). So there you have it.
I collected info this summer (2007) to figure it out. I came up with Utah, just south of Salt Lake City. But then there was the area code episode. I think it was 636 (?). Any way, the area code was from Missouri. I was disappointed. That clue was tooooo easyyy.... (insert frowny face here)
no it cant be Missouri...remember in 'homer badman' where he peeled the gummi Venus off the babysitters butt and was accused of social harassment? In that, Grandpa puts up a flag with fewer stars, and says, "I'll be deep in the cold ground before i recognise Missouri". But, perhaps that reinforces its truth, could be an ironic statement...anyway, there's my two cents.
i dont think so, in lisa gets an A, superintendant chalmers says that the school was voted most delapidated in all of missouri, and then lisa and skinner look in disbelief, and then chalmers says thats why it was shut down and moved here brick by brick
its not Connecticut. Marge asks lisa what she is doing in the "nutmeg state". that is connecticut. She wouldnt be asking and being surprised if they all already lived there.
I'm watching the episode right now where they zoom out from there home. It's obviously one of the states next the west side of the great lakes. I think it is as simple as Illinois. Here's the link:
Springfield isn't in a state. It is supposed to represent a collaboration of all American states. This has been explained time and time again. It's fun to guess, but don't get so uptight about something created specifically to not be real. (as evidence- the state flag, the state motto, the surrounding towns, the street names, the references to the bordering states which are on opposite corners of the country). Calm down
It was Springfield Missouri. In the episode where the Simpsons get a sattelite, the beam is coming from the middle of the U.S. so it can't be Massachusettes. And in the news paper, there was a poll on whether the Simpsons were from Illinois or Missouri (Missouri won). So there you have it.
It IS Missouri. In the episode where Homer starts the security company Springshield, the phone number in the commercial in the show has the area code 636, which is Missouri's.
It can't be missouri because in one episode chalmers says that the school was the worst school in missouri until it was dismantled brick by brick and moved to springfield. Sorry. I think it's in illinois.
in the episode where homer and bart drive to the outward bound school he says " i bet their from massachusetes. did you know its legal there to marry your son?"
they live near new york I think because in 1 eppisode I just watched Bart is a pop star and ther singine on a aircraft carier but the driver is mad and turns on the engines and they start moving but in like a few seconds they can see the empire state building. then millhouse says " the empire state building! that means were in.... uhhhh"
but when you look at other clues, there is the episode where homer does his cannonball act. in that episode he has to chose between heading to cincinatti(which is in ohio) or a nude beach. there are also several other clues leading to ohio such as: springfield being a city in ohio, and ohio having a nuclear reactor.
The name "Springfield" isnt the actual name of the city they hail from. There are many many clues that suggest that springfield is close to or in Connecticut. And you are very wrong.. they have a choice to go to either Cincinatti or Cleveland... they choose NEITHER and turn around. They definately DO NOT live in Ohio. Nice try... watch your episodes a little more carefully. ;) Name another episode where they mention Ohio or lead you to believe thats its in Ohio... There really arent any, except when marge says "Springfield, Oh HI ya Maude"... Read my posts.. I've given several promising leads to my conclusion.. Ive given it years and years of thought.
On the phone with Vincent Price's recorded message, She didn't say "Springfield, Ohio".. she said "Springfield, Oh Hi ya Maude" talking to Maude Flanders. I think you didnt "clearly" hear what Marge actually said. Download the episode and watch it again... "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", Season 10, Episode 12.
yes, thats true ,ive seen that episode. well i have seen one episodes that the character covers the state where springfield is in .it was that episode where president bush moves in in front of the simpsons' house.when the police guard asked flanders if he could see his license and he put his thumb over the state name. by the,i don't think its in missouri because i dont think it snow in missouri.P.S. awesome series,matt groening
No need for profanity, computer gangsta. The episode is "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday". And to Mr. Anonymous, youre saying something I already said. You get no credit. And Id also like to add that in one of the new episodes, "Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Three Times", the Texan says about him and Homer that have something in common and theyre both from Connecticut.
I just watched an episode last night about behind the scenes with the simpsons. At the end of the show the narrator said, " So whats next for this north Kentuckian family." Is this correct?
On one of the episodes the simpsons go to a air show and in the air force base there is a hanger 18 with a alien in it. This is refering to the mysterious hanger 18 at wright patterson air force base in OHIO. The SIMPSONS are from OHIO
Maybe they just put a bunch of different landmarks out of each state to keep it going! There from every state omg! How is that possible? Its a cartoon people. But i still wonder myself from time to time.
I'm watching the episode right now where they zoom out from there home. It's obviously one of the states next the west side of the great lakes. I think it is as simple as Illinois. Here's the link:
So from what everyone is saying about the clues and the fact that the episodes mention surrounding states of this location, marge using the "hi ya maud" which sound like the infamous hi y'all, the episode were the Shelby villain s insult the Springfield folk then point their finger while hooting "who who who" all convince me that it is Kentucky. The scenes where they are in a large body of water, the factories, the Bible Belt indications, the episode with shelbyville and Springfield all of this can be found in the blue grass state around Louisville and The Who who who from shelbyville matches too for the neighboring houser state also has a shelbyville. This along with the surrounding states and the other clues you have mentioned as well as many of the characters clues. I'm convinced.
It's not CT, in the episode where they are on a wife swaping reality show, lisa takes a helicopter to the house where Marge is staying and when Marge answers the door, she says, "Lisa! what are you doing in the nutmeg state?" The nutmeg state is Connecticut, whay would marge be surprised and ask why Lisa was in the nutmeg state if they really already lived there?
In one episode, I can't remember which, Marge tells Homer that "the family should go on a vacation south of the border" impliing Mexico. But, Homer responds with "We're going to Kentucky" therefor they obviously border along northern Kentucky. The only states that are along Kentucky's northern border are Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio- Must be one of these states....and not any of the coastal states.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS BRIDGEPORT? DID THE MAP SAY BRIDGEPORT? IT WAS PROBABLY SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS!

There is an episode where they say specifically that springfield is 1000 miles away from branson, missouri. That is a a big clue no?
its not Connecticut. Marge asks lisa what she is doing in the "nutmeg state". that is connecticut. She wouldnt be asking and being surprised if they all already lived there.

Thank You sombody hear besides me pays attention
In reruns they change the state they're from

in the episode where homer and bart drive to the outward bound school he says " i bet their from massachusetes. did you know its legal there to marry your son?"
and in the episode about revenge, it says homer and the rich texan are both from connecticut
no it says 100 miles till vegas
they live near new york I think because in 1 eppisode I just watched Bart is a pop star and ther singine on a aircraft carier but the driver is mad and turns on the engines and they start moving but in like a few seconds they can see the empire state building. then millhouse says " the empire state building! that means were in.... uhhhh"

I saw a episode today where Marge gave her address on the phone and she clearly said Springfield, Ohio.
On the phone with Vincent Price's recorded message, She didn't say "Springfield, Ohio".. she said "Springfield, Oh Hi ya Maude" talking to Maude Flanders. I think you didnt "clearly" hear what Marge actually said. Download the episode and watch it again... "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", Season 10, Episode 12.
No she said
"Springfield O..hiya Maude" (As Maude walked in.
yes, thats true ,ive seen that episode. well i have seen one episodes that the character covers the state where springfield is in .it was that episode where president bush moves in in front of the simpsons' house.when the police guard asked flanders if he could see his license and he put his thumb over the state name. by the,i don't think its in missouri because i dont think it snow in missouri.P.S. awesome series,matt groening
I am not sure where they live but as sound logic as this may be, Ohio is not the only state that starts with O, many have pointed to Oregon as well
Apu: He is the benevolent and enlightened president and C.E.O. of Kwik-E-Mart -- and in Ohio, Stop-O-Mart. He is the one we must ask for my job back.
then why the fuck didn't you tell us what episode it was, bullshitter.
No need for profanity, computer gangsta. The episode is "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday". And to Mr. Anonymous, youre saying something I already said. You get no credit. And Id also like to add that in one of the new episodes, "Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Three Times", the Texan says about him and Homer that have something in common and theyre both from Connecticut.
I ha seen the same episode with it being mississippi
maybe Homer is from Connecticut but where does the family live is the question. Not where homers born. Sowwie.
im with you man. they do say that. and i do believe that homer has lived in springfield his whole life.
No, she said "...Springfield, Oh hi Maud!"
what episode?
you said they turn around but it never said that do not live in ohio, maybe they were just there they never said that they left the state
Dude, they dont live in Ohio. If anything (other than Connecticut) they live in Oregon (Matt Gs homestate).
geez.... ionno, but ""Springfield, Oh HI ya" [Maude not withstanding] sure sounds like a balls-to-the-wall clue, to me!
sure does

But i still wonder myself from time to time.
i completely agree with samson. they just want to keep us guessing about the state while they have a good laugh about it at the studio.
wow dude ur a fucking loser
yeah but in the episode where Homer gets a job as a pinmonkey, he and Marge celebrate by taking a walk on the beach
Lake Erie is on Ohio's northern border- lots of beach there.
I'm watching the episode right now where they zoom out from there home. It's obviously one of the states next the west side of the great lakes. I think it is as simple as Illinois. Here's the link:

I remember an episode where they go to "Capital City" meaning they dont live in the capital. Doesnt that mean they dont live in IL?
yeah but homer takes out mr burns yaght, into international waters!!!
On one episode Homer lost his wedding ring and said he threw it in Lake Michigan.
No No No they live in Utah, you might wonder why? I just know
Can't be Utah Bart gets married to a pregnat girl in Utah because the marriage laws are looser.
So from what everyone is saying about the clues and the fact that the episodes mention surrounding states of this location, marge using the "hi ya maud" which sound like the infamous hi y'all, the episode were the Shelby villain s insult the Springfield folk then point their finger while hooting "who who who" all convince me that it is Kentucky.
