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.

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?”

It’s about a disembodied human ass who is a grizzled police detective that plays by his own rules.

Hey Arnold is set in Washington? I always thought it was New York?

It’s an unspecified combination of NYC and Seattle.

The city is, but the state is Washington. There’s an episode they were out of state and it ends with them returning home with a Welcome to Washington sign visible.

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
