The recent college cheating scandal (involving celebs such as Felicity Huffman, and Beach Boys' John Stamos' TV wife, Lori Loughlin) is made even weirder for us by the tangential Beach Boys connection.
There was a 1993 episode of Full House called "Be True to Your Pre-School" (obviously a Beach Boys pun title) that bizarrely predicts Loughlin's Aunt Becky character being involved in a similar scandal w/ John Stamos.
It doesn't get much weirder than this life-imitating-art example.

Oddly, it's Loughlin's character (Aunt Becky) who is shocked to find out there's cheating involved, and she is the one who is not cool with her husband's methods.
If you can stomach watching Full House, you can watch the episode here:

Craaazy. With all the memes going around (people have already rewritten the Full House theme song lyrics to be cheating-related as an "homage" to this scandal), I wouldn't be surprised to see some Youtuber cover "Be True To Your Preschool" with similar new cheating lyrics.
