I thought the Simpsons were vague about Springfields location as it was supposed to be anywhere, USA. I wouldn’t have guessed Oregon.
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)
“From up here you can see the four states that boarder Springfield. Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky”
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
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.
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!
Hey Arnold is set in Washington? I always thought it was New York?
It’s an unspecified combination of NYC and Seattle.
