The episode gets a high accuracy score.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One 2012 episode of The Simpsons features a viral outbreak aboard a cruise ship, and a real cruise ship captain now compares it to a recent real-life incident. First airing in 1989 on Fox, The Simpsons stands as the longest-running animated sitcom of all time. The show, which was created by Matt Groening, now has a reputation for seemingly predicting the future, with one 2012 episode serving as the latest example.
The episode in question, called "A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again," features the Simpsons family embarking on a cruise, which Bart then attempts to prolong by tricking everyone on board that a viral outbreak has started on land. After numerous days at sea, the ship is shown in a dire state, with the crew resorting to feeding passengers roasted seagull.
“Would the ship look like that after 12 days? No. But, in The Simpsons’ world that’s absolutely perfect. Vessels could only be out at sea for as long as their food and fuel supply would allow them to be. We didn’t and we wouldn’t keep people past that point. Cruise ships do carry a lot of food and they carry food in excess of what the voyage length would be, but not by that much. So I’d probably give that a nine [out of ten], just because that’s actually pretty spot on.
