I hadn't picked up on Mayor Quimby in the Simpsons being a New Englander, but that led by a chain of though to the other great American family animation, "Family Guy", set as it is in Rhode Island. Are the accents of the Griffin family and their friends correct for Rhode Island? I ask as a lot of effort seems to have gone into the series and the setting to get the detail right (according to Rhode islnaders).
