The Simpsons has been controversial since its inception. Some parents considered Bart, the show’s rebellious lead character, a poor role model for children because he often didn’t receive punishment for his misbehavior. 

The show has also been known for making predictions that some say came true: 

• Disney-Fox Merger In 1998, The Simpsons showed 20th Century Fox studios labeled as “a Division of Walt Disney Co”. In 2019, Disney announced a $71 billion merger with 21st Century Fox. 
• Lisa Simpson as President In the 2000 episode “Bart to the Future”, Lisa Simpson becomes president and announces that they inherited a lot of debt from Donald Trump. 
• Smartwatches In the season 6 episode “Lisa’s Wedding”, Lisa’s boyfriend Hugh uses his watch to make a voice-activated call. In 2013, smartwatches with voice recognition became available. 
• U.S. Men’s Olympic Curling Team In The Simpsons, the U.S. Men’s Olympic Curling Team won a gold medal after defeating Sweden. In real life, the U.S. Men’s Olympic Curling Team won a gold medal after defeating Sweden. 

Some say that The Simpsons’ ability to seem predictive comes from its references to pop culture and existing events. Others say that many of the show’s predictions are coincidences or recurring patterns in human behavior.
