The Simpsons as a crystal ball
Since 1989, The Simpsons has captivated millions of viewers around the world. The series, with its over 760 episodesoften seemed to predict the future.
Notable predictions include the takeover of 20th Century Fox by Disney or the election of Donald Trump. These events cemented the series' reputation as a modern oracle.

The erroneous prediction
One particular episode showed Lisa Simpson as President, referring to a “President Trump” who preceded her. This prediction proved correct when Trump was elected.
However, Lisa's outfit, similar to that of Kamala Harris, led some to believe in her future presidency. However, during the last elections, Kamala Harris was not elected.
The explanations behind the failure
Executive producer Matt Salman says The Simpsons predictions are based on mathematics and probability. By producing so many episodes, it is inevitable that certain “predictions” will come true.

The mysteries surrounding The Simpsons predictions will surely continue to fascinate. But this “error” begs the question: should we revise our perception of the series as a modern oracle?
