The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: In Bart's imagination, when he is in the courtroom with his face censored, when the guy with the knife grabs Bart, the judge has disappeared. (00:13:05)
Correction: Not possible to tell, the shot is looking up from a very low position. The judge could easily still be there without us being able to see him.
10th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When the mean girls try to get Lisa out of the bad girl's washroom, the magazine that one of the girls was carrying disappears. The cigarette that the other girl was holding also vanishes. (00:11:40)
Correction: This is all true but the girl whose magazine disappears is out of shot for long enough to have dropped it or even put it down. The other girl's hand is out of sight long enough for her to have dropped it just as we saw the first girl do earlier.
10th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Lisa enters the bad girl's washroom for the first time, the books she is carrying switches arms. (00:11:40)
10th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Bart is seen repeatedly switching where he sits in the back of the car before and during the car chase. (00:05:50 - 00:08:10)
10th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When the cops pick up Bart at the Simpson house, it is daytime. Immediately after it is nighttime. (00:05:30)
Correction: It's a completely different shot which does not have to directly follow in time.
4th Sep 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: On the series 4 DVD box set there is a message from Matt Groening. In the message he is talking about some of the episodes, and refers to "Ralph Wiggum's immortal 'Choo-Choo-Choose Me' valentine to Lisa." In actually, it was a valentine from Lisa to Ralph, and the card read "I Choo-Choo-Choose You."
Correction: The card does say that but Matt Groening is referring to Ralph's first words upon receiving the card which are "You choo choo choose me?"

Burns' Heir - S5-E18
Corrected entry: The nuclear power station has three huge chimney stacks belching smoke. Why? What are they burning?
3rd Jun 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the episode, where it has Troy Mclure on a TV programme, Troy Mclure has a microphone. Notice that as he walks down the orange stairs, there is a wire following him, which is attached to the microphone. When Troy reaches the bottom of the stairs the wire has now disappeared from the stairs. (00:01:50)
Correction: He's out of shot for long enough to have been given another microphone. He may need to move around and doesn't want an extremely long cable dragging behind him so there's a second mic connected closer to his current position or to the position he will next move to.
12th Jul 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Bart watches "Gorilla The Conqueror" with Homer, the giant gorilla in the film throws a tree at various people. Some of the people are in mid-air before the impact.
Correction: Not really a mistake in the Simpsons, more a nod to the fairly obvious, and poor, special effects used in these kind of movies.

Radio Bart - S3-E13
Corrected entry: When Bart accidentally drops the radio down the well, we can see in the first shot that the rope is in a bundle and is very long. In the next shot the rope appears to be shorter. (00:09:35)
8th Dec 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Radio Bart - S3-E13
Corrected entry: When Bart makes Mrs. Krabappel 'fart,' the bulletin board on the wall keeps changing between shots. (00:08:40)
Correction: Sorry but no it doesn't, we see it from various different positions in the classroom so it appears to be different but the separate shots are consistent with the whole.
4th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: At the very end when Homer runs out of Moes there is no street and only a grey wall. (00:21:20)
Correction: We can't see any detail to know what's outside. It simply looks as if it's dark so we can't see anything.
10th Sep 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: While Lisa gives her speech at school, Miss Hoover seems to have only one leg. (00:13:20)
Correction: Her other leg is obviously raised and the flat of her foot is leaning against the desk. We can't see it because of her long skirt.
8th Dec 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Radio Bart - S3-E13
Corrected entry: When Bart opens Marge's sisters' present, Martin has disappeared for one shot. (00:05:20)
13th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: After Bart crashes at the social club, it has stopped raining. (00:05:25)
Correction: Not at all clear why the rain stopping is a mistake.
15th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Bart leaves home and walks to school. Later, though, he leaves school with his skateboard. (00:02:00 - 00:05:35)
Correction: He left his skateboard at school the previous day which is why he walked to school. Probably the skateboard had been confiscated.
13th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Bart arrives late at the social club, he is mumbling. His mouth doesn't move. (00:13:25)
Correction: It's quite easy to mumble without moving one's mouth, I get accused of it all the time.
26th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Homer does the test again, he doesn't read the questions in order if you look carefully on the sheet. (00:18:00)
Correction: There is no reason why he has to read them in order. He's answering the ones he knows first which is something many people do.
26th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Before the time trials start, we can see how far the track is, but while Bart, Nelson and Martin are racing, considering the speed they're traveling, the track seems much longer. (00:12:25 - 00:14:35)
Correction: I've watched this scene again and there's nothing unusual about the length of the track or the time they take to complete it. When we see the track at the start we can't see the finish line so we have no way of telling if they take unusually long.

Correction: Again true but she has time to change the position of her hands when we see her from behind. We can't see her hands during this time.
