87. Tintin though based in France, does not have any adventure
in Paris. But a very popular American TV show showed a
scene where the very studious daughter picks up a copy of
‘Tintin in Paris’. This led to a jump in search for that non-
existent title. Unfortunately only fan-fictions show up
(mostly NSFW).
Which show known for being weirdly prescient is this?

89. Warning!
Don’t search online for the PDF as those available are all
fan fiction! [unless that’s what you are looking for :)]
