There was no shortage of crappy, short-lived genre shows in the 1980s, but only one of them accidentally predicted the death year of a newly deceased Libyan strongman.

In this bizarre scene from the pilot of the 1987 “guy comes back from the afterlife to make amends” series Second Chance, St. Peter tosses Gaddafi into the bowels of Hell in the far-off year of 2011. Excuse me for a moment, I’m going to read old episodes of Gobots like tea leaves.
