Is amazing in its ability to predict. I saw a list and there were dozens and dozens of instances.

The pandemic? The haircut? It really is amazing. 😲

And most of their predictions are documented here. I used to work with Fox Entertainment, wrote the show descriptions for the newspaper TV listings, and their original aim was to produce enough "Simpsons" episodes to have one for every day in the year for syndication. But they passed that mark long ago!
