Page and The Simpsons

This film will be sweet as nectar. Have been anticipating since the trailers came out like 4 years ago

Technically speaking, the Springfield on the Simpsons isn't in Vermont. Nobody really knows where it is. It has a desert, a swamp, a badlands and yet it's coastal and is susceptible to hurricanes and in a clip from the movie, it is mentioned that it lies on the borders of Ohio, Kentucky, Maine and Nevada.

Springfield is a state of mind

According to the Simpsons epispode, Behind the Laughter, it states that the Simpsons are from Northern Kentuky.

Springfield, KY is in central Kentucky - it sits next to Shelbyville (REALLY) and... wait for it... SIMPSONville. I love the heck out of Vermont (nice bands, mountains, skiing, and beers), but we all know where the real Springfield is

okay everybody despite the voting the evidence points to springfield oregon. matt groening went to school at the university of oregon that neighbors springfield. there is a statue of jebediah smith that distinctly mirrors the statue(jebediah springfield) whose head is removed by bart. place names taken from eugene and portland include Flanders Ave, Terwilliger Blvd, Lovejoy, and Skinner's Butte. The tavern Max's is remarkably similar to Moe's. the nuclear plant is an allusion to the giant polluting weyerhauser that sits on the willamette river.

d'oh its not springfield, va

its not kentucky, its not anywhere cuz in a later episode they state that West Springfield is 3 times the size of Texas hereby voiding any possibility of a real geographical existence of said town,

damn, i was never sure but lexslamman AND hellyeah have some very good points... regardless, this movie hopefully will kick ass. And way to go Page on playing at the premiere. "That better be medicinal!"

For me - it's solar or nothing.

Sprinfield's location on the Simpsons is intentionally kept ambiguous, which makes space for continuous great jokes on the subject. The Simpsons emcompass all aspects of American society, that such a common city name like Springfield is perfect for the show.

hellyeah is correct that the inspiration for the Simpson's Springfield came from the Springfield/Eugene,OR area.

The premiere should be a blast. Real cool that Page is playing.

You might want to try an open faced club. Maybe a sand wedge.


MMmmmmm. Open-faced club sandwich.

There was one opening bit... where they're all sitting on the couch, and the camera goes up through the ceiling and out into space. The galaxies become atoms as the camera continues pulling back, away from the molecules of homers brain and back into the living room where the bit started. I watched that several times, and as the camera pulls away from earth, it looks like Springfield is located southwest of Lake Michigan. Hit rewind next time you see that opening segment.

i think springfield is one county over from gamehenge.

curious what page is going to play at this...any ideas? maybe like the simpsons opening credits song?

Its a joke that Springfield,Vt won Fuck Vt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Page OH OH OH I'm a pathetic phishhead GAG ME !!!
Oh Oh Oh PHish Oh Trey Ph herion Oh Oh Oh How I hate
East coast hippies

and where gamehange has the evil king wilson,springfield has the evil mr. burns. And to fuckjanbands,why do you waste your time,if you hate us?

oompapa,if you watch that clip,it's obviously a goof,as right after,Marge states that Homer writes the sunday comic strip,which is just another joke meant to keep us guessing.
still the best show on TV.

Don't you hate PANTS???!?

There's a little bit of Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo in us all.

sahagian - you mean it is in Southwest Michigan? Because there is a Springfield, MI in Southwest Michigan, I live like 20 miles from it. It was third to last on the contest to host the premier.

There is also a Shelbyville right by Springfield Michigan as well. No nuclear power plant though....hmmmmmm.

even though Va won the vote it cant be there or Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio or any springfield east of the mississippi because the local radio stations call letters are KBBL. if it has a K its west of the Miss, W is east of the miss

Kickinit...and anyone else interested. Here is a link to the Simpsons intro in question...

Even if it doesn't clearly answer the question, it's one of the coolest opening bits!

i thought i might let ya'll know Vans is releasing limited edition Simpsons shoes...They are sick too, Im gettin the APU ones!

spider pig, spider pig, doin' whatever a spider pig does!

I am one of 200 volunteers who appeared in the winning Springfield Vermont video. After we helped our local Chamber of Commerce win the contest, they turned their backs on us. We should have been the first in town to be invited to view the world premiere of The Simpsons Movie but instead we were excluded so the elite members of the community could be issued special invitations. And then not even a word of thanks or mention of us in the public ceremony outside the theater. Read more and view our famous winning video now at our new website:
