Don't they live outside their means in crippling debt?

What the hell is that room behind the garage on the other side of the hallway?

>>939559

Stairs to the basement.

>>939559

You mean the Rumpus room?

The Frank Grimes episode noted it. Also Springfield is a pretty shitty neighborhood so property values would be in the dumps.

Also a new simpsons episode had them lose ownership due to an adjustable rate mortgage (look! we're relevant!) and now Flanders owns their house and rents it to them. It's new simpsons so it doesn't count.

>>939563

>new episode

Wasn't that an episode in 2010

>>939572

Anything past season 8 or so, is into Zombie Simpsons territory.

>>939554

And LOBSTER! For DINNER!

>>939574

True, but 2010 still isn't "new".

>>939574

>max power

>zombie simpsons

>>939554

Springfield is filled with pollution and organized crime. Real estate is bound to be cheap.

>>939554

He didn't, Abe paid for it.

>>939581

Depending on who you ask, the Zombie Simpsons cut-off can go as far as Season 10 or 11, but post-Season 8 is widely regarded as the point where the episodes started becoming more Miss than Hit.

>>939554

Show was written by faggots born into well-off families that rarely, if ever, had to worry about money. People like that don't associate with commoners outside of going to the store or buying drugs, so they don't have a good grasp on how an average person lives.

>>939559

They don't show it often but it was in the 3 Men and a Comic Book

>>939581

>celebrity cameos: the episode

>not zombie simpsons

>>939554

it was the 80s. people werent as poor back then.

>>939554

- It was the 80s/90s

- Springfield's a town, not a city. Property values would probably be lower

Also, I only count two bathrooms

>>939662

>Also, I only count two bathrooms

One downstairs, between the kitchen and the mystery room that never existed, and two upstairs.

>>939683

It was probably used once or twice and they felt the need to add it in for some reason.

>>939685

I swear to god I've never seen that TV room ever before. Maybe in one of the very early episodes?

>>939686

That's the one.

>>939686

The carpet strikes me as vaguely familiar. A quick google search shows that some people have been aware of this room and it's very, very rare appearance in the show. Seems even the creators forgot about it.

The master bathroom is tiny and cramped.

When does it ever work that way?

>>939620

It was written by boomers.

>>939620

That's your standard middle class home. Especially in the 80s/90s when property values were lower.

>>939702

You can see in this episode here that the basement door is right next to the kitchen, and there's a wall behind it.

>>939686

One episode in season two. The needed Homer to have a clear view of the treehouse outback so they could have a gag of him watching tv while the kids are fighting outside the window, but I could have sworn that room was on the second floor.

>>939797

Which episode? Not the one with Radioactive Man #1?

>>939725

Not sure where you grew up, but it would be difficult to afford supporting a house like that with a single blue collar salary even in the 90s. If my relatives are to be believed, single salary supporting a family of five and a large house was not common past early 80s. At least in Northern Illinois.

>>939809

The house is not particularly big. It's two floors. Given the location (suburbs, small town) let's say that it cost about $600,000. If Grandpa Simpson paid for a portion of it, Homer could probably afford the rest on a mortgage.

>>939819

>First, that's not even close to a reasonable price for a house, even right now.

That's what my house cost, more-or-less

>>939834

You either severely overpaid, live in a palace, or bought a place in a middle of a hipster neighborhood/on the shore in a large, hip city. You can get nice homes for $200k in the suburbs of most major American cities.

>>939840

It's no palace, I can tell you that. It is outside a city.

>>939847

And of course they half-assed it.

Season 4, episode 10 'Lisa's First Word'

"Well here's what they're asking."

"Ohhh I can't afford that!"

"Alright son, I'll sell this dump and write you a cheque"

"Dad, first you give me life, now you've given me a home for my family, I'd be honored if you came to live with us."

"Thank you"

"So how long til you shipped Grandpa to the old folks home?"

"About 3 weeks"

"hahahaha"

Homer couldn't afford it and could only buy it when Grandpa sold his house and gave the money to Homer.

>>939801

Correct.

But also the episode with the Foster dad. Homer is supposed to pick up Bart from soccer practice and forgets, and one shot includes Homer in the Rumpus Room watching tv.

>>939847

Looks like some Claymation shit

>>939857

I know the chimney was a fake.

>>939847

This looks like someone from Nevada or New Mexico half-assing a home from northern half of the country. They could not even get the bay windows right.

>>939843

What city? San Francisco?

>>939910

>What city? San Francisco?

Farther east

>>939847

Wow.. the fucked up pretty much every detail.

>>939910

>Nevada

Hit the nail on the head, it’s near Las Vegas.

>>939923

>>939910

I know the colors are wrong due to home owners association bullshit. Doesn't explain some of the other stuff though, like where is the master bedroom's window?
