Oy! Listen to stasis's latest shpiel!

We finally have a geographic location for Springfield. Judging by the position in the Old Northwest, in addition to the river flowing out of town (clearly delineated as The Mississippi), we can now definitively place Springfield as Duluth, Minnesota.

I don't know if Shelbyville is Superior, Wisconsin, or another town in Minnesota, though.

Except for the fact that they clearly have a redwood forest and an ocean (not a lake, not a sea, an ocean), which don't exist anywhere near there, further proving that Springfield is nowhere.

Oy! Listen to Steve Brown's latest shpiel!

If you get in a boat, there are *two* major routes to the ocean from Duluth--it just takes a while.

Except for the fact that it all ends inside Homer's head, you'd be right on...

Yeh, it was very good...but I thought it would have been funnier if Homer said "D'oh!", (because the universe started back in the same spot), instead of "Wowww..."

Is that the only couch gag where somebody spoke a word? I can't remember any other ones.

Homer said to Freud "Help me, doctor. I'm crazy," in one of the couch gags.

I agree that the couch gag was great. The best one in years.

There's at least one: The couch is in a psychiatrist's office, and Homer lies down saying "Help me Doctor, I'm crazy!" or something similar.

But yeah, very impressive gag indeed - one that deserves to be recycled again & again like that chorus line/Vegas one. Only trouble is its length - if they use it in syndication, they'll have to cut an extra 45 seconds or so from the show proper...

There is the one where Homer steals Comic Book Guy's popcorn and he says "Hey!" or something similar.

Different Homer. The Homer we know, who says "D'oh!", was at the beginning, the Homer at the end apparently says, "Wow!" :)

Oy! Listen to Jon Purkey's latest shpiel!

At least it wasn't the "Homer" who says "B'oh!"

Anyone else notice that all the music seemed new as well? There seemed to be more saxophone during the chalkboard gag segment than usual.
