The Simpsons just passed its 30th birthday this past December. The Simpsons has been a cultural landmark since before it was even its own show, when the first Simpsons shorts debuted on The Tracy Ullman Show starting in 1987. The shorts became such a phenomenon that they got their own half hour long show two years later. The Simpsons is the longest running sitcom in TV history. Having been on for three decades, the writers are bound to get a few things right, but the amount of events that The Simpsons has predicted correctly makes me think that one of the requirements to get into the writers’ room is a degree in futurism. It is straight up freaky how many predictions the show has gotten correct.
