The Simpsons: 10 Hidden Details About The Simpsons Home You Never Noticed

The Simpsons’ house is one of the most iconic homes ever seen on TV, but there are a lot of secrets in its walls

Every successful sitcom has to have a central location and, for those that are based on the antics of a family, that location is usually the home. The home is not only the place where most of the action takes place; it is also the thing that grounds the entire comedy in a sense of reality.

After all, the home is the central place around which many people found their identity. The Simpsons, of course, has one of the most iconic homes in television, but there are many things about it that sometimes go unnoticed. Here are 10 things about the Simpsons’ iconic home that fans may have overlooked.

10 Unusual Things Frequently Occur in the Walls

One of the most unusual things about the house that the Simpsons live in are the walls. While one would be forgiven for assuming that a house’s walls should be at least somewhat stable.

Unfortunately, that is not the case with this house, for on numerous occasions we see unorthodox and sometimes downright bizarre things in them, including treasure, dancing mice, toxic waste, and even the family cat. No wonder the walls are so thin that someone can hear what someone else is saying in a different room!

9 There is no Air Conditioning

Given that Springfield is shown to have rather hot summers, it’s rather unfortunate that the Simpsons’ home doesn’t seem to have any air conditioning. Needless to say, Homer does succeed in stealing Ned’s window unit.

There is some ambiguity about the status of the air conditioning in more recent episodes of the series, for while the characters mention turning it on, there is still no sign of there being any window units present.

8 Most of their Appliances Run On Gas

For better and worse, most of the Simpsons’ appliances seem to run on gas. This includes the heat (there is a gas furnace in the basement), water heater, and possibly even the dryer.

Homer being Homer, has been known to do very dangerous things with the house’s gas supply, e.g. the time that he tried to use it to make a totem pole breathe fire. The result, very predictably, was that the house filled up with gas.

7 The Address is Inconsistent in Earlier Episodes

In typical sitcom fashion, the exact address of the house remains somewhat ambiguous (particularly in the early seasons of the show). At various times, it has appeared as 1094, 1024, and 723 Evergreen Terrace. The same ambiguity holds true for the telephone number, which seems to vary from episode to episode.

While this inconsistency might be due to different writers, it’s hard not to think that it might also be the writers’ way of highlighting this trope of the sitcom form.

6 The Rumpus Room Has Only Been Seen in Five Episodes

While some rooms of the house have been used in so many episodes as to become icons of popular culture in and of themselves – including both the kitchen and the living room – there is another room that has received significantly less airtime, and that is the rumpus room.

This home entertainment venue, which includes both a television and a bean bag, has only appeared in a handful of episodes, mostly in the early seasons and once in Season 28.

5 There’s an Olmec Statue in the Basement

When thinking of a basement and its contents, most people would probably think of all of the usual things: washer, dryer, perhaps a TV and some old appliances. What others might not be picturing is a piece of statuary from the ancient civilization known as the Olmecs. This being the Simpsons, however, there is indeed a giant piece of statuary in their basement.

The olmec was, surprisingly enough, a gratitude gift from Mr. Burns, and it has subsequently appeared in several different places, including in the yard and in the attic.

4 The Backyard is a Cat Cemetery

While Santa’s Little Helper is arguably the most famous of the Simpsons’ pets, careful viewers will also know that they own a cat named Snowball (with a Roman numeral following the name).

While Santa’s Little Helper has somehow managed to survive all of these seasons, the same cannot be said of the various cats, whose little bodies are buried in the backyard of the Simpsons house in their own little cemetery. These include Snowballs I, II, and III, as well as the short-lived Coltrane.

3 Ned Flanders Actually Owns the House

Fans could be forgiven for assuming that the Simpsons own their house, considering how long they have lived in it. It’s just a matter of conjecture, after all. However, it actually turns out that they ended up not being able to afford the mortgage due to Homer’s numerous financial dealings.

As a result, their bubbly neighbor Ned Flanders actually bought the house and ended up renting it to the Simpsons, with predictably negative results (for Flanders, anyway). This being the Simpsons, though, somehow makes this unsurprising.

2 Grandpa Simpson Sold His House So Homer Could Buy One

Grandpa Simpson usually comes across as a bit of a curmudgeon, yelling and ranting at everyone (and the sky) within reach, including and especially his own family. On occasion, however, he can do something nice for them.

Arguably, the kindest thing he ever did for his son Homer was to sell his own house so that Homer could buy his own. It’s a rather moving gesture and a reminder that even the meanest people often hide a genuine heart of gold.

1 The Painting Above the Couch Has Unclear Origins

One of the staple decorations in the house is a painting of a boat that hangs above the couch. It’s unclear exactly where it came from because while Marge once said that she painted it for Homer, at other times she stated that she bought it.

Furthermore, the fact that she has several replacements for it suggests that it was mass-produced. Fortunately, she doesn’t have to make use of those replacements very often.
