oh wow i didnt realize peopel would acre much about the state i thought that was just me
anyways the claim that they live in kentucky was from the behind the laughter episode. it said they were a kentucky family but it also claimed they were just actors. it was all part of the joke.
in an episode you can homers dirver license clearly for the state it says NT. and theres soime other time where you can see these letters for the state but i forget at the moment. and according to the site that i found this info on, groening claimed that the state was a made up state called north tacoma. and it was amde up because it featured, high mountains, a short drive to the ocean, harsh winters and harsh summers as well. also within a days drive of PA and las vegas. obviously a state that breaks the rules of the country
idk maybe the confirmation by groening is a lie but you cant ignore the NT on the license. if i find a picture ill link it. or you can google it and see what comes up i guess?
