** This cropped up during the first half of the 2011 season. The episode "Missing Pieces" [[spoiler:in which a mother claims that her car was stolen with her young son still buckled into his car seat]] bears more than a passing resemblance to the still-unfolding [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/10/sky-metalwala-law-order-svu_n_1086268.html Sky Metalwala]] case. Another episode, "Personal Fouls," [[spoiler: which revolves around a well-respected coach who uses a children's charity to molest young boys]] originally aired a few weeks before the [[http://gothamist.com/2011/11/09/did_law_order_svu_predict_the_joe_p.php Penn State molestation]] story broke. However, according to Website/TheOtherWiki, this one was actually based on a ''[[http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2009/10/09/sp-fleury-tell-all.html different]]'' sports abuse case.

* In a HilariousInHindsight example, Kate Winslet guest starred on an episode of ''Series/{{Extras}}'', playing a fictionalized version of herself who's very blunt about the fact that she's only doing a movie about the Holocaust so that she can win an Oscar. The episode aired in 2006, two years before she actually did a [[Film/TheReader movie]] about the Holocaust and won an Oscar.

* The ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'' episode "Hitler On the Half Shell" involves a secret cache of art stolen by the Nazis, which the son who inherited them has [[spoiler: been secretly returning to their rightful owners for years.]] The vault was actually filled with reproductions of various real, moderately famous works of art, including Paul Gauguin's "Still Life with Profile of Laval" which has a profile of a man who looks remarkably like the protagonist, Dr. Henry Morgan. They carefully composed a shot where Henry was looking at the painting with his head at the exact same angle as the man in the painting, the two right next to each other, to emphasize the similarity. Since Henry is immortal, the clear implication is that he may have been the friend of the artist depicted in the painting.
