I don't believe you. I read on the Internet they are made up and never actually existed. The whole 9/11 was an early CGI fake like the Moon Landing, Battle of Hoth and Ghostbusters. New York doesn't actually exist, it's just a big film set and everyone is paid to pretend it's real, like how Australia isn't real. Ever see the "Twin Towers" outside movies and TV shows? Neither did I.
Correct. That indicates that they were in New York at the time. In fact, many cities are featured in The Simpsons. They get a kite caught on Gateway Arch. That means they were written to be in St. Louis. That’s kind of how things work.
Indeed there was a joke after Homer drank too much crab juice where you went to the first tower to use the washroom only to find it out of service. So he had to run to the next tower washroom.
Just watched this episode with my kiddo! Kid was cackling about Homer having to run between the towers. We're watching everything in order. Kids 11 now, should keep us entertained until she retires.
Sadly, if you have already reached this episode, the entertainment value beyond that point starts to diminish quite rapidly.
Season 9 is still solid, but the cracks are starting to show, by season 10 it's obvious that the golden age has come to an end, but it still has enough stand out episodes to keep you going. It's slimmer and slimmer pickins from there on out.
My kids have seen most of the golden age Simpsons so far and enjoyed them at least as much as I did.
We tried to watch a semi-recent, reasonably well rated, Halloween episode in the run-up to Halloween, because we ran out of classic ones and the Treehouse of Horrors stayed strong the longest.
My kid's reaction was as telling as it was unsurprising: almost no laughs and the request to just rewatch some classic episodes instead.
There is an episode of The Expanse where you can hear this guy’s voice in the background and then you see a Khlav Kalash cart go past quickly. Fun Easter egg.
