In an alternate cartoon world there might be alternate cartoon states not 100% analogous with our own.
|
also, one of the more recent episodes had a local volcano erupting... pretty sure there are no volcanos that close to any of the springfields in the US. closest one to a volcano would probably be Oregon.

Sure there are lots of crazy kooky things made so Springfield cannot be in any state, but if you disregard such on-the-spot plot devices like a volcano you can narrow it down on Kentucky, or Missouri.

I just watched Marge in Chains on Simpsons Season 4 and on the part when Snake steals the Kwik-E-Mart driving toward New Mexico, the freeway sign has Shelbyville, North Haverbrook (the delapitated town in Marge vs. the Monorail- victim to the fraud!)and New Mexico City reading 678 miles. So Springfield is anywhere 678 miles off the radius of New Mexico City.
Well it's definitely in the South somewhere. |
It's not in any particular state. It's rather silly trying to pinpoint it :)

At the San Diego Comic Con last year, during the Simpson's panel with Matt and everyone else, they would not say.

It's Kentucky. I've rarely watched the Simpsons over the years but my college roommate was a huge fan. I remember watching an episode with him where I heard them mention Springfield was in Kentucky. I asked him if it's really in Kentucky and he said that was the first time he's ever heard them say it. I made a thread on here about it asking the same thing several years ago. I doubt it's even still available.

It isn't Kentucky, Misssouri, or ANY real state. Read these two posts in this very thread:

Until reading this thread I'd always assumed it to be in Illinois. Now I know the error of my ways.
|
It is somewhere in the South.

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showpos...0&postcount=23 http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showpos...0&postcount=24 =[ "Behind The Laughter", and why it doesn't count ]======== In the first airing of [BABF19], "Behind The Laughter", the narrator gave Springfield's location as northern Kentucky. For the second and some later airings, this changed to southern Missouri. But neither of these are admissible locations for Springfield, for the many reasons listed later in this document. What's the explanation? This episode is not canon. It portrays the show not as a cartoon created by Matt Groening, but as a live-action sitcom originally written by Homer and starring his own family. None of what happens is part of the main Simpsons continuity... just like any Halloween Special. |
I thought I had heard it was definately Springfield, VA. The mall looks exactly the same, too.
