    So it's the longest running prime time animate series ever, with 400 episodes being aired.

    How popular is the simpsons anyway?
    Here in Australia it is being broadcasted EVERYDAY, with 3 episodes being broadcasted on tuesday.

    Does anyone actually know where "Springfield" is located?

    Let's discuss this famous dysfunctional family from Everygreen Terrace!!

    They run it every day except Saturday in America, with a new episode on Sundays.

    And Springfield doesn't exist, at least not in America....It's been shot down in every state where there's a Springfield.

    Yeah there are so many springfields.. and every single time they were talking of the state they live in.. they just include bart or homer to hide it.. in some way..

    remember when homer loses his right to drive and has to follow some kind of class.. they ask where people are from.. and he says something else than his state.. i don't remember what he says.. but its funny..

    About the simpsons.. I used to be the biggest fan on earth..

    but now i just moved to other shows..

    I respect the simpsons a lot because without matt growning.. I couldn't enjoy these other shows.. I'm listening to now.. I'm refering to ATHF, American Dad, etc..

    right now i'm on a South park frenzy.. the last seasons are truely great.. it's so funny.. the story is always so fucked up.. it's insane..

    but nothing is refreshing like a good ATHF episode.. it's by far the best way to relax in 11 minutes.

    Simpsons used to be really good, but it kinda went downhill ever since the episode where Homer sings Eee-eye-ee-eye-ooh through the whole thing... I think it's weird that you can just pinpoint the episode, but it's true... I think Matt should go back to Futurama for a while, that show still has most of the charm that Simpsons used to have back in the day...

    I rather enjoy Family Guy too....

    And like with what JBL and Lithuania said, they mention the state only to shoot it down...
    I remember and episode where Skinner is talking about the school, and he says "You know, this school was once voted the most decrepit school in all of Illinois"
    And Lisa and whoever else was there give him the " :eek: ZOMG :eek:" look and are all "Whaaa-?"
    He goes on to say "Yes, that's why they moved it brick by brick to here."

    I LOVE futurama. and I still remembered this episode that made my cry :p

    It was about Fry finding his dog seymore from 1999 in fossilized form. The ending of the episode was so sad that I actually cried. Then I felt really lame because I cried to a sitcom :p

    Anyway here's that episode on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark

    Does it snow in Texas? It snows in the simpsons.

    To me it seems like Springfield is made based on a stereotypical city in the West Coast. It does have striking similarities to Los Angeles.

    They have that giant Springfield sign on the top of a mountain, just the same as the Hollywood sign. And when you look down at Springfield from the mountain, you see the general layout of the city also looks like LA.

    On another topic, who's your favourite character? I like Bart Simpson. Homer used to be my favourite but I think they recently overdone his stupidity. Apu is also one of my favs/

    I'm watching it right now.. and.. when they arrive in italy.. homer gets his american flag and says:

    "That flag is mine! Don't mess with Texas! Suck it off losers, suck it off!"

    edit: kk now im at the part with the knife..

    and all we see is shelbeville and springfield.. it doesnt say texas at all

    Because it isn't in any of the real springfields. The creators even have a contest between the real springsfields which town should be simpson city.

    Does anyone think the rumor that The Simpsons movie out in July this year will be the end of the entire series?
