Corrected entry: When Smithers shows Mr. Burns the picture of his dog, he is standing to the right of him. Immediately after, he is standing in front of the TV monitors. (00:03:10)

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Lisa is in Skinner's office after sassing Miss Hoover, her hands change position between shots. (00:14:40)
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.
10th Nov 2003
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.
12th Dec 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
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.
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.
26th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: If you watch the scene in slow motion where Nelson is attacking Bart at the time trials, you can see another Bart in the audience. (00:14:00)
Correction: During this scene all the characters watching the race are blurred to give the impression of speed so there's no way to know if it's Bart since we can barely make out the faces. It's certainly someone wearing a red t-shirt but that doesn't make it Bart especially since the person appears to be much taller than a small boy.
25th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: As Bart tells his friends about his racer, there is a set of stairs visible at an impossible area of the garage. (00:09:00)
Correction: The stairs are inside the house, we are seeing the underside of them.
Future episodes show the garage is on a corridor to the kitchen, nowhere near the stairs.
25th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: On his soapbox derby racer, Bart is pounding his hammer on an area that doesn't have nails in it. (00:08:00)
Correction: Pure speculation, we can't see the area he is hitting in enough detail to know if there are nails or not.
26th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: During the finals, if there was a paper speedometer on the Honor Roller, why would the speedometer be working at all then? (00:20:10)
Correction: This is a simple one, we never see the speedometer working. We see the needle fixed in one position before it peels off so no mistake.
25th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Homer complains that he missed a part of Joe Theisman. It's a TAPE. He can just watch it over again. (00:07:10)

Correction: They're both in front of the TV monitors. We see Smithers from two different angles and he has time to move when Mr Burns is in shot so there's nothing unusual about this scene.
