#Animation #Cartoon #FamilyGuy #Sitcoms #RickandMorty #SouthPark #Archer #TheSimpsons
As The Simpsons heads into their 31st season—further cementing itself as the longest-running primetime scripted series in the US—the Data Team at All Home Connections thought it would be interesting to find out your state’s favorite animated sitcom. Using a list of the top 15 most popular animated sitcoms, our analysts then used Google Trends to identify the most popular shows by comparing those with the highest search volume in each state.

Take a look at our map to find out what your state’s favorite animated sitcom is and what other states like to watch across the country.

Interesting Findings

Here are some interesting findings that the data team came across when they started digging a little deeper into the results.

Colorado’s favorite animated sitcom is South Park. This could be because the town of Fairplay, Colorado is the childhood home of creator Matt Stone and the visual basis for the town of South Park.
Oregon and Massachusetts love The Simpsons, which might have something to do with the show’s creators Matt Groening and Mike Scully originally hailing from Portland, Oregon and Springfield, Massachusetts, respectively.
Connecticut loves Family Guy which, again, could be because the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, was born in CT.
While King of the Hill isn’t the most popular show in Texas—despite being set there—it is a hit with two Southern states, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Perhaps due to its long run, The Simpsons is by far the most popular animated sitcom across the US followed by South Park in second place.
While Rick and Morty didn’t rank high on this list given the criteria, it was among the most watched cable television series—animated or not—during its last season. So, it isn’t a stretch to imagine that the series will appear at the top of similar lists in the near future.

A Brief History of The Simpsons

You may not realize it, but The Simpsons premier on primetime television in 1989 marks several significant milestones in American animation—and TV history. Besides the numerous prestigious awards that the show has consistently received throughout its long run, the premier also marked a turning point in American attitudes toward cartoons written primarily for adult audiences.

Today, animated series are almost as common in primetime slots as traditional sitcoms and you’ll be hard pressed to find a TV fan that can’t name their favorite animated shows. Though you may not feel the same about The Simpsons as you once did, take a moment to consider that all of the series featured in this article are a testament to the show’s ongoing four-fingered legacy.

Grindr turns 10: How a decade with GPS 'dating' apps changed us all

#Grindr #JoelSimkhai #LGBTQ #App What Uber did for cars, so Grindr did for hooking up. A decade after its release, NBC Out reflects on the impact Grindr has had on the gay and bi community. On the day he launched Grindr — exactly 10 years ago this Monday — founder Joel Simkhai said the only phone call he received was from the competitor, Manhunt, with a buyout offer of “$20,000 or $35,000.” Simkhai declined. But after actor and comedian Stephen Fry demoed Grindr live on the British TV show “Top Gear” a few months later in June 2009, everything changed. Simkhai said there were 10,000 downloads overnight and it “felt like every gay man knew about it.” “It’s basically a gay cruising application,” Fry told “Top Gear” host James May. “Get this, when you load it,” Fry said, “up appear all kinds of faces and pictures. And what’s so amusing is, you press them and it goes like, ‘Hi, I’m Mike,’ and it tells you how close they are — it says 20 yards away.” Now, a...
