The Simpsons' Predictions Explained by Showrunner

News summary

Matt Selman, the showrunner of 'The Simpsons', has explained the show's uncanny ability to predict future events by attributing it to a combination of studying history and math. He stated that if the writers produce enough content, some predictions are bound to align with reality, and that understanding humanity's past follies helps anticipate future occurrences. Selman emphasized that the list of predictions, currently at 34, is 'completely unregulated' and expressed frustration with fans who create fake images claiming the show predicted events that it did not. He lamented that it is 'depressing and dispiriting' when people fabricate scenarios to fit the show's narrative. 'The Simpsons', created by Matt Groening, is currently in its 36th season, having premiered on December 17, 1989.
