I thought the Simpsons were vague about Springfields location as it was supposed to be anywhere, USA. I wouldn't have guessed Oregon.
-
"From up here you can see the four states that boarder Springfield. Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky"
-
Canonically Simpsons isn't set anywhere real. In reality Groening is from OR and a lot of the names in the show are from places from where he grew up.
-
Yep. I literally lived in the shadow of Skinner Butte in Eugene (Shelbyville)
-
-
Yes, Oregon is Matt Groening's home state so there's some similarities, but it's pretty explicitly not set in any real state.
-
Matt part did an explanation of it that ruled it down to Oregon I think
-
-
I have significant doubts about this data.
-
I'm pretty certain it's mostly garbage.
-
-
I'll be honest that I first thought it said "longest running cartoon in each state" and spent way too long wondering why no states had any in common...
Kinda cool that almost every state has a cartoon associated with it, some more obvious than others
-
Same! I'm sitting here thinking "What the hell is Loud House, and how have I never seen it if it's been on so long?"
-
Loud house is great

Never heard of Assy Mcgee before. Those people must know how to have fun.
-
It's about a disembodied human ass who is a grizzled police detective that plays by his own rules.
-
it's an amazing show

Someone needs to commission a cartoon series of The Book Of Mormon to fill the Utah-shaped gap.
-
Is The Simpsons set in Oregon canon? I know Matt Groening has said that he's from there and a lot of the characters are inspired by his real life family.
I haven't seen The Simpsons in ages since it stopped being good so I don't know if this is a new thing or the OP took some liberties.
-
Simpsons is specifically not from a specific state. Too many contradictory "clues" to the location. Honestly, I've always thought Massachusetts was the most likely - given the nearby ocean and the parody of the Kennedy family, but I do recall an old Reddit thread that had it worked out to be West Virginia!
-
OP took a ton of liberties.
-
-
Something happened in the Alabama/Tennessee/Mississippi area that caused a cultural sinkhole?
-
Yes.
-
Our politicians are the only cartoons we need thanks
-
Hook worm.

Lost Cause myth

Not sure I would really count Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman! As a cartoon. It's a PBS edu-game show hosted by a cartoon dog, the majority of the show is following the contestants doing science challenges, there's maybe 5 minutes of cartoon storyline per episode.
-
TIL there are Napoleon Dynamite and Ace Ventura cartoons.
-
Stupid
dogstate! I'm gettin me mallet!

Father of the pride took place in Nevada. 13 episodes but it existed

Early Cuyler BABY!

DON'T YOU TOUCH MY TRUCK BOAT TRUCK!

Life was missing its mystique. My squeaky toys had lost their squeak. And then, out of the blue, I saw the phone and BAM! My destiny is calling me! Pitched my vision for a show. They loved it! Thought I was a pro. They got my contract back to find to their alarm a dog had signed.
Fetch!
Oh, I like that name!
With Ruff Ruffman!
-
Surely SpongeBob SquarePants is Florida?
-
The Bikini Atoll is northeast of Australia and southeast of Japan. I always thought that's where it's supposed to be set.
-
Correct. That is the bikini atoll
But this is the bikini bottom! What's more Florida than a pair of lost bikini bottoms!
