The 'Simpsons' seem to have 'found' it again - anticipating

First and foremost: No, "The Simpsons" can not predict the future.

However, as the longest-running sitcom in U.S. history, the timeless series often finds itself in line with "life mimics art" - moments that occur years after the broadcast of "This Simpsons".

This week, for example, social media users have noticed the recent coincidence between Vice President Kamala Harris's inauguration dress and Lisa Simpson's dress in a 2000 episode.

In "Bart to the Future," Lisa takes over the presidency and says the already viral phrase, "As you know, we have inherited a budget crisis from President Trump." In the episode, Lisa wore a purple jacket and pearl neck accessories. At Wednesday’s inauguration, Kamala Harris was wearing a purple jacket and pearl.

The similarities with the inauguration did not stop here for Simpsons fans. Actor Tom Hanks appeared as a presenter during a virtual concert Wednesday night.

In the 2007 "The Simpsons Movie", Hanks in a role where he presents a new 'Grand Canyon' proposed in Springfield, the city of the Simpsons.

"Hello. I'm Tom Hanks. The US government has lost its credibility, so it is borrowing some of mine," he says.

In the end, he says, "If you were to elect a government to trust, why not this one?"
