2000s comedy show compares to The Simpsons' accurate predictions with previous news error.
The popular TV show, Arrested Development, once had an interesting episode about Tobias' testicles being featured on the news. It seems like the show may have predicted the future, as a recent news blunder in Mexico involved a similar scenario. RCG Media mistakenly aired footage of a prankster's genitalia instead of the solar eclipse they were intending to show. This blunder brought back memories of a 2004 episode of Arrested Development, titled "Sad Sack," where news stations accidentally broadcast a photo of Tobias Fünke's testicles.

At the time, the journalists believed the picture, taken by Tobias while he was in the bath, was a view of the Iraqi landscape. This led them to believe that the Bluth Company, Tobias' family business, was constructing homes in Iraq. However, fans of the show quickly pointed out that this storyline was eerily similar to the recent news blunder in Mexico. Fiona Small commented, "This was a storyline on Arrested Development," while Simon Tam added, "According to TMZ, a Mexican news station accidentally aired testicles instead of the solar eclipse, so of course, I thought of when Arrested Development had something similar."

RCG Media, the network responsible for the blunder, even saw the humor in the situation and shared a post on social media with two egg emojis, jokingly asking their followers, "How did you see the #eclipse? Ours was..." In the clip, three RCG anchors can be seen discussing the eclipse before the next video begins airing, and the testicles descend on the screen. While one female anchor gasps in shock, it takes the other two a moment to realize what is happening. The male anchor continues talking, and the show carries on as if nothing happened.

Arrested Development, which follows the hilarious misadventures of the Bluth family, aired for five seasons between 2003 and 2019. With this unexpected prediction coming true, some fans are wondering if the show could be the next The Simpsons. After all, The Simpsons has famously predicted many real-world events, including Donald Trump's presidency and the current global pandemic. Who knows, maybe Arrested Development will continue to surprise us with its accurate predictions.

The show, starring actors such as Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, and Alia Shawkat, is available to stream on Netflix. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you. It seems like Arrested Development's wit and humor continue to be relevant today, even 20 years after its initial release. Who knows what other predictions the show may have in store for us in the future.
