What do you think of the Simpsons? I think that its one of the funniest shows on TV that doesnt get "too dirty". Its definetly my favorite cartoon (I also like Futurama and Family Guy). What is your favorite episdoe? What's your favorite quote? And of course the big question, What state do they live in??? Some people have said Massachusets, Kentucky, Michigan and Oregon. I personally have no idea. Is anyone out there closer to finding out which state they live in?

The Simpsons! (And what state do they live in??)

That is what I originally thought but there are alot of other states with towns named Springfield. And about 3 that have a city named Springfield that fits the size and description.
Remember the episode when sugar was outlawed in Springfield, Burns said that they were going to bring in a shipment "from south of the Border". Then Homer said "You mean Tenesee?". This means that they live in Kentucky. But in the episode when Skinner and Edna were going to Orlando, a sign said that Orlando was 2600 miles away, and Kentucky is nowhere near that far. So its kind of a mystery.

Well, there is a Springfield in Canada somewhere too, and Matt Groening is Canadian.
Funniest Episodes= The one wher Homer has heart surgery and the one where Sideshow Bob steals the A-Bomb.

Yes the heart surgery episdoe was a funny one. But they show the US flag in the show too much, as well as other inferrences that Springfield is in the US.

I was just kiddin
Maybe he just made it to sort of make fun of the fact that there are so many 'Springfield' in the US that he added to it. The 'Springfield' depicted on the Simpsons doesn't exist.

It's implied that Springfiel could be anywhere. I used towatch THE SIMPSONS all the time but, haven't in a while. Guess I have to watch and catch up on what has been happening.

Me neither. In fact I stopped watching the new episodes on a regular basis way back in 97 or 98. With the exception of the episode where the simpsons come to Canada. Which was a waste of time.
I prefer the episodes from maybe 1992-1995

Yes the Springfield of the Simpsons does not exist, since there is no city that has a
1) nuclear plant,
2) a gigantic mountain (epsidoe when Homer has to climb Mr. Deathmore or something, with his PowerSauce apple bars),
3) an ocean,
4) a desert (the episode when Lisa rides the bus to go to the museum and the route takes to to the outside of the city, a desert),
5) is 2000 miles away from Las Vegas (episode when Ned marries a stripper in Las Vegas),
6)2600 Miles away from Orlando (episode when Skinner and Krabapple go to the Epcot Center),
7)and an few hours drive from New York City (episode when Homer goes to New York and to the World Trade Center*).
But which state could it be in?
*Another funny episode is the one where he goes to New York. For those of you who havent seen it....
Barney has taken his car and he is forced to go to New York City to get it back. It is parked in front of the World Trade Center, with a device on the wheel that stops it from being driven. He has to wait there for 12 hours until the dept. of transportation gets the device off. A couple of hours into the ordeal, he gets thirsty and hungry. There is a Russian tender nearby, but all he is selling is Klaskabash (which looked like a rat glazed over with honey, on a stick) and Crab Juice. Homer is disgusted, but after a shot of the family back in Springfield, he is shown with 40 cans of empty Crab Juice near his legs and a stack of Klaskabash sticks under his feet. Now he has to go to the bathroom, so he goes into the World Trade Center Tower A to use the bathroom, quickly, because the dept. of transportation could come at any time. Once he gets to the very top (where the only bathroom in the tower is) there is a sign that says "Out of Order, Use Other Tower". So he climbs up to the top, and he groans in agony and relief as he "relieves" himself. He gets back to find that there is another fine for calling on the dept. of transportation and not being there....
It ends up with him driving off, even with the device in his wheel. However he gets frustrated and halfway in the city, he gets a jackhammer and takes it off. He gets frustrated with all the cars behind him (since he's blocking the road) and tells them to shut the hell up, then someone fires a shot and barely misses him. And that's about it.

We'll never know where it is, it's sort of like a long-running joke through the series, they keep hinting at things but in the end, it's not going to be anywhere
Um...favourite episode? I have too many.

Take a look at this website for some evidence about where Springfield may or may not be.

The only way the show will come to an end is if they run out of ideas and shows.
Surprises me that the show has gone on so long as it has.

It's a pretty good show, I'll continue to support it, even after I stop liking it, just so that I can say that I lived when the Simpsons were in their infancy, 70 years from now.

In one episode, they talked about going to the hospital in Shelbyville. There's a Shelbyville, KY that's sort of close to Springfield, KY...

I've been a Simpson's fan for a long time. There are so many episodes that I love that I don't think that I could narrow it down to one all time favorite. Some of my favorite quotes include:
Lionel Hutz: Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son."
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
Grandpa: Dear Mr. President, There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.
P.S. I am not a crackpot.
Homer: I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Lol I also like the one where a hurricane destroyes the Flanders' house, and they build another one for them out of cheap wood, constructed by the neighborhood people. Homer says "Insted of putting in floors, we polisehd the dirt". "Ever feel like taking a wizz while you're cooking, but the bathroom's too far away? Not anymore (points to a toilet in the middle of the kitchen)"The hallway looks as if its normal, but as you go further in it gets smaller and smaller until there's a small door the size of a hand, Flander's opens it, and Barney is in there drunk saying "Welcome to the maser bedroom!"
Also another one, where Homer is being given a Lifetime Achievements award ceremony and then the two aliens come and say "PUNY humans! We have been watching your puny species ever since your planet was created, 5,000 years ago.... by GOD! *does the sign of the cross*"
There's so many that the really good ones escape me right now. I'll think of more

They live in Kentucky...though a fictional version of it. The only way you can know for sure is to watch the episode that spoofed Behind the Music and in the intro, the announcer says "this small town kentucky family...."
