Where are the Simpsons?



Only direct references to a particular state will cause its removal from the list of eligible candidates.


A direct reference would be either:
--A character specifically talking about a state
--The State was written out, be it a street sign or otherwise, in such a way as to make one believe that it is referring to a state other than the one they are currently in.


The following are reasons a state will not be eliminated, even if clues are present.


(1) Some episodes are outside of the normal confines of the Simpsons timeline, and therefore must be considered inadmissible as evidence.
--The episode titled "Behind The Laughter" (episode# BABF19) - This portrays the Simpsons as a living family acting in a sitcom.
--Any Halloween Special

(2) Some people, for various reasons, make a blanket statement that it cannot be a southern state.
--Some people base this on statements made in particular episodes.
--Some others base this assumption on uniforms worn during reenactments of battles occurring during The War Between the States.
However, since no states are specifically mentioned, these comments or assumptions cannot be accepted.

(3) Some people discount any state east of the Mississippi River because the call letters for Springfield's radio station is KBBL.
While the current FCC regulations state that any radio station east of the Mississippi will have its call letters start with a W, and all stations west of the mississippi will start with a K, this rule was not set in stone until 1923. Therefore, there are exceptions to it. For instance:
--KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA
--WBAP in Dallas, TX
--WRR in Dallas, TX
--WMT in Cedar Rapids, IA
--WHO in Des Moines, IA
--There are several others

(4) Some people will discount a state because it does not contain an actual city or town named Springfield.
--(A) It could quite possibly be that the clues point to a state without one in real life.
--(B) This may be just what the show's creators were counting on. Therefore, we cannot discount a state simply because it does not really have a Springfield.

Moe: What?!

Hibbert: [scoffs] Surely he's not talking about VH-1.

Bob: Why, we could revive the lost arts of conversation...and scrimshaw. Thus I submit to you we abolish television, permanently!

Waiter: Howdy gangstas! I'm average American Joe Salaryman waiter.

Bart: These prices suck! 10,000 yen for coleslaw?

Box Factory Tour Guide: Many interesting and important things have been put into boxes over the years: textiles, other boxes, even children's candy.

Milhouse: Do any of these boxes have candy in them?

Guide: No.

Milhouse: Will they ever?

Guide: No, we only make boxes to ship nails. Any other questions?

Guide: Well, we don't assemble them here -- that's done in Flint, Michigan.

Bart: Have any of the workers ever had their hands cut off by the machinery?

Guide: No --

Bart: And then the hand started crawling around and tried to strangle everybody?

Guide: No, that has never happened.

Krusty Gets Busted

Kent Brockman: Good evening again, Springfield. Krusty the Klown, the beloved idol of countless tots, now nothing more than a common (alleged) criminal. His trial, which begins tomorrow, has taken center ring in a national media circus, as children of all ages, from 8 to 80, hang onto each new development like so many Rumanian trapeze artists. From his humble beginnings as a street mime in Tupelo, Mississippi, Krusty climbed to the top of a personal mini-empire, with dozens of endorsements including his line own line of pork products. This may have led to one of television's best-loved bloopers, his near fatal heart-attack, in 1986.

Judge: Well, looks like you folks are free to go. But don't you set foot in the state of Florida again.

Homer: Fine. There are plenty of other states that are happy to have us.

[cut to the Simpsons' living room. A map of the United States is set on an easel. There is a black "X" drawn through all the states except Arizona, Florida, and North Dakota]

Marge: [draws an "X" on the map through Florida] Well, we're still welcome in North Dakota, and Arizona.

Homer: Arizona smells funny.

Marge: [grumbles, and draws an "X" through Arizona]

Lisa: North Dakota, here we come!

Bart: I always wanted to see Mount Rushmore!

Marge: That's South Dakota.

Bart: [disappointed] Ohh.

Bart on the Road

Tennessee courier Dispatcher: Well, you sure don't look 25, but your unlaminated, out-of-state driver's license is proof enough for me.

Later on, at the end of the same episode:

Marge: [answering] Hello? Oh hello, Principal Skinner. No, Bart has never been to Hong Kong. Good night. [hangs up]

[the phone rings again]

[answering] Hello? Tennessee State Police? No, my son's car was not crushed in Knoxville. I don't know where to begin telling you what's wrong with that.

[hangs up]

[the phone rings again]

[answering] Hello? No, Bart is not available tomorrow to deliver a human kidney to Amsterdam.

[Homer, who has dived under the covers, snorts]

Homer, are you laughing at me?

Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two

Marge: Well, I'm just relieved that Homer's safe and that you've recovered and that we can all get back to normal. If Maggie could talk I'm sure she'd apologize for shooting you.

Burns: I'm afraid that's insufficient. Officer: arrest the baby!

Wiggum: Hah. Yeah, right, pops. No jury in the world's going to convict a baby. Mmm...maybe Texas.

Texan 1: Texas.

Texan 2: Uh, Brooklyn.

Man 2: Russia.

Man 3: New Hampshire.

Mrs. Krabappel: Let's start with Milhouse's grandfather.

Van Houten: Uh, how many of you have a house?

[children raise their hands]

Van Houten: All right, now how many of you drove your house to school today?

[children raise their hands again, then wake up]

Children: Huh?

Van Houten: Well, I did. [chuckles] No, I'm not Superman; I just own an RV. Me and the new wife travel the country searching for adventure. Last fall, we won a chili cook-off in Beaumont, Texas.

Children: Wow!

Bart's Comet

Skinner: Oh, it won't come down for months. Curse the man who invented helium! Curse Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen. Now to find out who did this...Bart! Empty your pockets.

Bart: Empty _my_ pockets, you say? [does so] Well, certainly, but I fail to see how --

Skinner: [picking something up] Hmm...blueprints of the dummy... notarized photos of you _making_ the dummy...and an alternate wording for the _banner_, "Buttzilla".

Bart: Race you to Utah, Milhouse.

Milhouse: OK.

Moaning Lisa

Mr. Largo (the music teacher) conducts the school band through a horrid rendition of ``My Country 'Tis of Thee''. Lisa improvises wildly.

Largo: [tapping on music stand] Lisa. [taps louder] LISA SIMPSON! [finally attracting her attention] Lisa, there's no room for crazy bebop in ``My Country 'Tis of Thee''.

Lisa: But Mr. Largo! That's what my country's all about.

Largo: What?!?

Lisa: I'm wailing out for the homeless family living out of a car. The Iowa farmer whose land has been taken away by uncaring bureaucrats. The West Virginia coal-miner caught...

Largo: Well, that's all fine and good, but Lisa, none of those unpleasant people are going to be at the recital next week. Now class, from the top. Five, six, seven...
