The Simpsons is currently in its 37th season — it’s one of the longest-running TV shows of all time, going all the way back to 1989 — but this iconic dysfunctional family has actually been around for even longer than that. Matt Groening’s groundbreaking family sitcom has been around for so long that some of The Simpsons’ future predictions have started to come true. It’s outlived most of its own successors, and it’s keeping pace with all the others (South Park, Family Guy).
