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.

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.

I saw a episode today where Marge gave her address on the phone and she clearly said Springfield, Ohio.

Joe

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.

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

It's not Ohio

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.

zach

then why the fuck didn't you tell us what episode it was, bullshitter.

joe

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

=) RANDOM

maybe Homer is from Connecticut but where does the family live is the question. Not where homers born. Sowwie.

No, she said "...Springfield, Oh hi Maud!"

jonathan

what episode?

trent

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

joe

Dude, they dont live in Ohio. If anything (other than Connecticut) they live in Oregon (Matt Gs homestate).

blingadore

geez.... ionno, but ""Springfield, Oh HI ya" [Maude not withstanding] sure sounds like a balls-to-the-wall clue, to me!

sure does

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

samson

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.

Simpsonsluver

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
