Synopsis

Have you ever wondered how The Simpsons predicts the future? Then, The Simpsons Secret is the book for you.

The Simpsons has been predicting major events with scary accuracy for over three decades, from Donald Trump's presidency to Disney buying 20th Century Fox. People just can't seem to get enough and are eager to know what it's going to predict next. This book goes behind the scenes of this adored cartoon series, and the family we've grown to love. Between Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and the rest of the Simpsons family, the show has stolen our hearts, and also left us amazed at how often The Simpsons predicts the future!

So how do they do it? Is it a crystal ball? A fountain of knowledge? Have the writers gained the ability to travel through time? As shocking as it may seem, the answer is actually a little simpler than that. The cartoon crew is not in a secret society that can see the future, nor have they mastered the art of time travel.

In The Simpsons Secret, learn more about: how The Simpsons is able to predict so many major events; how the show writers and producers come up with these ideas; and so much more about your favorite old-school cartoon family.

Goodreads review by Adam on April 20, 2023

I want to start off by saying this is what reading should be. I found myself wanting to pick up this book constantly after I started it. It was just such a silly, funny, lighthearted book about everyone's favorite adult-animated family (sorry to the Griffins and Smiths). There was a lot in this book......more

Goodreads review by Greg on June 21, 2022

Like so many milleninals, my childhood will always be anchored to the Simpsons family. Like seemed saner, or more wholesome, or more affordable ([URL not allowed]). Bart's imprudence and gentle mocking of Christianity was enough to prevent my household from watching it. But as......more

Goodreads review by Phredbert on July 27, 2022

A book only for true fans of The Simpsons. The premise is a little deceptive. What is billed as guide to how The Simpsons predicted so many things is merely a long recap of many of the predictions and then a 14 page chapter on the "how". And to be honest it's not much of an explanation. No minds wil......more

Goodreads review by Joanne on December 20, 2021

I’m hardly a Simpsons scholar, but I really didn’t learn a whole lot of so-called secrets from this (although I did have to lookup the word cromulent), so I can imagine that diehard Simpsons fans would find even less to learn from these pages. But it does acknowledge and sufficiently fete the show’s......more
