Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. 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.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

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.

Father of the pride took place in Nevada. 13 episodes but it existed

TIL there are Napoleon Dynamite and Ace Ventura cartoons.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's an unspecified combination of NYC and Seattle.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

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.

I have significant doubts about this data.

I'm pretty certain it's mostly garbage.

Is The Simpsons set in Oregon canon? I know Matt Groening has said that he's from there and a lot of the characters are inspired by his real life family.

I haven't seen The Simpsons in ages since it stopped being good so I don't know if this is a new thing or the OP took some liberties.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Simpsons is specifically not from a specific state. Too many contradictory "clues" to the location. Honestly, I've always thought Massachusetts was the most likely - given the nearby ocean and the parody of the Kennedy family, but I do recall an old Reddit thread that had it worked out to be West Virginia!

OP took a ton of liberties.

Something happened in the Alabama/Tennessee/Mississippi area that caused a cultural sinkhole?

Never heard of Assy Mcgee before. Those people must know how to have fun.

it's an amazing show

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Loud house is great

Someone needs to commission a cartoon series of The Book Of Mormon to fill the Utah-shaped gap.

I thought the Simpsons were vague about Springfields location as it was supposed to be anywhere, USA. I wouldn't have guessed Oregon.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Matt part did an explanation of it that ruled it down to Oregon I think

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Yes, Oregon is Matt Groening's home state so there's some similarities, but it's pretty explicitly not set in any real state.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

"From up here you can see the four states that boarder Springfield. Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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)
