I think I figured out what state Springfield is in

I'm watching The Simpsons season 10 on DVD. Third disc, first episode, is the one about a television character named after Homer Simpson. At first, the character was a cool person, so Homer tried to act like him and tell everyone they based the character on him. Well, he's at Moes getting ready to watch the next episode with his beer buddies, when all of a sudden, they changed the character into a bumbling oaf, more like the real Homer Simpson. So the next day at work, everyone's watching Homer real intently, waiting for him to do something stupid.

Homer's offended at this point, and tells him that he won't be doing anything stupid for them, and then he accidentally knocks over his fondue pot spillingcheese all into the control panel. Then it shows a board with all the states, and New York flashes whileLenny goes, "There goes Albany!"

Now, why would a nuclear power station be supplying electricity to any other state but the one it resides in? I believe that the Springfield of the Simpsons is Springfield, New York. I'm sure there's things out there in the Simpsons universe that may contradict this, but this makes the most sense so far. Even if it isn't in New York, based on my power plant theory, we can safely narrow it down to one of the 13 colonies.

I'm surprised somebody has actually put thought into this, nice job:Pmetallica_fan42

You haven't been around the internet lately, have you? Google "Where is Springfield" and you'll find millions of theories... All of them are probably disproved somewhere in an episode.

But in the movie, Ned Flanders points out to part that they are standing in the meeting point of four states. I remember one of them was Kentucky. So it can't be in NY.therazn

It was like Kentucky, Nevada, and two other random locations.

It's in Illinois, check google maps.

btw it's kinda sad you spent so much time thinking about this, when all you needed to do is enter google:P

For the longest time I thought it was in Illinois(Springfield is the capitol of Illinois) but after seeing the movie and the scene with the states that border Springfield I realized I was wrong.Headbanger88

I hope you're joking. It's impossible for a state to be bordered by the ones he said. They are too far apart, so it was just a joke about the location of Springfield being anywhere.

shouldn't this go in a blog? I don't really see the question... unless that is you're asking us on our opinions on where we think springfield is.... cuz i never saw you ask that in the original post...gorilazandgames

Exactly which is why it can't be Illinois or any place for that reason. It's simply a fictional place.

Then why would they go to NY on vacation? :?zakkro

They went to New York City.

Matt grew up in Portland. Hence he took the name from Springfield, Oregon. His first job was also right next to a nuclear power plant in Oregon. Case closed.LukeAF24

that makes the most sense out of all of this

it is either:Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia HawaiiIdaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota OhioOklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming cool_baller

Thats what i was gonna say, that just proves they dont live in NY, lol.

In one episode at the end they say "but all is good now for this north Kentucky family" and in another episode it zooms out from they're living room and the state is zooms out of in Louisiana.mark4091

But when it originally aired, the show said Missouri. It's weird why they changed it.

They did drive there, didn't they? I've driven to other areas of my state for a few days before. :P

Yeah, because no one state borders all those states, so they were trying to trick you into what state they're in, when it can be any state that has a city named "Springfield".
