Lisa's Pony - S3-E8
Corrected entry: Homer takes a drink of his beer, but his mouth doesn't open. (00:14:25)
Correction: His mouth may only be slightly open, and you don't need to fully open your mouth to drink. It is possible to drink with your mouth only slightly open.

Lisa's Pony - S3-E8
Corrected entry: The kitchen appears to be very different after Marge finds out Homer bought a horse. (00:12:10 - 00:13:00)
Correction: The kitchen does not at all look different.

Lisa's Pony - S3-E8
Corrected entry: When Lisa calls Homer at the power plant, the same footage of him sleeping and waking up in the beginning is used. (00:18:55)
Correction: There is nothing contradicting continuity by reusing this shot, so this isn't really a mistake.

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: At the start of the episode, Skinner says that Bart, Jimbo and Nelson have won mountain bikes. Yet when they enter the basement, Dolph and Kearney are with them, despite them not being called out.
Correction: Kearney and Dolph might have got permission to go with them. Even if they didn't, they probably would do something like skip their lesson to go with Bart, Nelson and Jimbo (they'd probably skip the lesson because they normally do bad things like that). After all, they do hang around with each other a lot, don't they?

Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Krusty does his performance in front of Rabbis, when Krusty's father starts talking to another Rabbi, you can see a third Rabbi at another table in the background. In the next two shots this rabbi has vanished. (00:09:20)

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: In the opening part, you see Lisa playing a trumpet, there is a boy to the top right of her, when it cuts to the conductor you can see the same boy in the background.

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Flanders is singing in the church, the tune is one flat note and his mouth is continually opening and closing.
Correction: Flanders doesn't completely close his mouth when singing, and he is probably just breathing at the same time.

Homer's Barbershop Quartet - S5-E1
Corrected entry: When the people are protesting at Moe's Bar, you can see several arms that aren't attached to bodies.
Correction: We can't see the bodies that the arms belong to becuase of the people standing in front of them, so we don't know whether there are bodies there or not.
29th Nov 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: In one scene, when Bart is a child, he and Homer are watching Krusty and Sideshow Mel. However Sideshow Mel appeared only after Sideshow Bob was arrested, as his replacement. Krusty even mentions this in another episode, saying something like "The guy I got to replace you doesn't hold a candle to you Bob".
Correction: It is Sideshow Bob who Bart and Homer are watching. You can tell by his voice (when he grunts when he drops the weights in Krusty's show), not necessarily the fact that he has green hair, just like Sideshow Mel in the flashback. Apart from that Sideshow Bob's hair is normally in a palm tree shape, and Sideshow Mel's hair is shaped a bit like Marge's.

Correction: Seeing as this is between episodes, something could have happened to get rid of the stain and cause it to be there. For example, by one episode it could have been cleaned and by another the car could have leaked some oil. If that happened often, then it was probably done for humour.
