For over three decades, the series has thrived with a dedicated audience invested in the hijinks of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. But the catch is that despite many of its storylines being asinine beyond belief, they end up getting mimicked in real life later on. Whether that s strange, unconscious manifestation or clairvoyance is up to you to decide, but it s impossible to look at
The Simpsons and not feel a bit uneasy about how spot on the FOX show seems to be about what s to come. Even creepier, the show seems to be getting it right with
increasing accuracy.
