My brother paused it once to see. I think it said 187.50 or something. If I remember I'll tape it tonight and watch it back in slo-mo to see.\n\nEdit: Well I watched it in slo-mo to see. Or I tried to, but they had a short intro on the one today, which only had Bart writing his lines, and then everyone arriving home. If I remember I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm sure an answer will have been picked by then.\n\nEdit 2: I've checked wikipedia. It says: "During the show's opening credits, Maggie goes through a supermarket checkout scanner, which reads that she is worth $847.63 (a wry reference to the monthly cost of infant-rearing in 1989). In "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", the scanner instead reads "NRA4EVER.""

Simpsons.  17 years strong and always a rating giant.  That show alone made FOX a network.

I believe this has been resolved.  (Northern) Kentucky to the best of my knowledge. (Although I agree with those that say "Anytown, U.S.A.") Many allusions and suggestions, but only one quirky episode states it explicitly.  \n\n"Behind the Laughter"\n1122 BABF17\nOriginal Airdate: 5/21/00\nA special behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of "the first family of American laughter." As the story unfolds, we learn of Homer Simpsons' humble beginnings and the demo tape that made him famous. Unable to get his videotape seen by any big time network execs, the family turns to FOX. The Simpsons quickly became an enormous hit, the future looking bright. But success comes at a great price and all the baggy pants in MC Hammer's old house can't save the family from themselves. Homer's addiction to painkillers, the tax problems, Bart's reckless behavior - it all spelled trouble for the show and the family. How did they ever pull through? With style and class. And a little help from their friends.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. My sis loved that show. Sadly, she hadn't video recorded it.

Yep, this was the show that introduced hime to America (and the rest of the world). He used to say "Up your nose with a rubber hose" - used to have a t-shirt with this quote :)

Not any more.  I did though before I gave up television altogether.  \nThe Simpsons was actually one of the more-intelligent and better-written shows on TV.\nIt's ironic that is was a cartoon.

Family Guy is waaaaaaaay funnier than the Simpsons. They take humor to an entirely new level. I have to give The Simpsons credit for being the original adult oriented funny cartoon, but Family Guy still takes the cake in my book.
