The Simpsons & Upstate

Did anyone see the episode? I hear they did a good number on upstate.
Would love to see a few clips.

There's a YouTube of it can probably find it post the link and I'll embed it.

EDIT: I stand corrected, not YouTube just a bunch of new coverage and some BS. At least I couldn't find it.  I saw it on FB (but didn't watch) so I thought it was available.

I have every Simpsons from the current season on my cable On Demand channel except for this one and I'm a bit pissed about that. Hoping it appears in the next couple of days.

The Simpsons have always had an upstate NY connection. Abe Simpson is rumored to be from the area:

Walking a fine line here as it's very political. It was quite accurate though. I disagree with the Kodak part. They went downhill because they didn't change with the times.

In Abe's own words, "I'm from the old country.....which country, I can't remember."

Scroll down a bit for the Simpson’s parity on upstate - daughter sent it to me: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-simpsons-trashed-upstate-new-york-and-now-everyone-is

“I can’t make it anywhere but I can make it there”
Classic!

Thanks for finding it. Still can't figure out how to embed.

I think she sums up why we live here and makes a positive response to The Simpsons - fuck West Chester!

I’d say they nailed it. They even got the state troopers’ silly purple ties correct.

Is Peekskill upstate? Cause I’m at the Peekskill DMV and it feels pretty fucking upstate

What's the city of Peekywood like nowadays?

This confused me at first cause down here the thruway is either 87 or 95. Peekskill is in Westchester but it’s well north of where the thruway goes. You mean 90 right? No metro area person would accept that standard. It would put Dutchess and Ulster downstate. There’s no way.

I think the guy from "central New York" is probably the most qualified to make this crucial call.

Upstate is definitely defined by the thruway.

God bless you guys but nothing north of 84 could possibly be downstate.
