The Girl Who Slept Too Little - S17-E2

Milhouse Of Sand And Fog - S17-E3
Continuity mistake: Homer's chicken pox disappear when he puts the food into the suitcase.
Treehouse Of Horror XVI - S17-E4
Continuity mistake: At the end of "B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence," Homer climbs onto the ceiling and turns his head in a parody of "The Exorcist." He then lets go and lands on the bed. The only problem is that his body landing doesn't match the position it would from what we see on the ceiling. If he dropped down his face should be face down, body facing up and his head would be closer to the end of the bed. When he lands, his head is near the pillows, his body facing down and his head facing up.
The Last Of The Red Hat Mamas - S17-E7
Character mistake: When Homer finds Marge's folder, it reads "Heist Plan: Burns Manson" instead of "Mansion" as it should be.
The Last Of The Red Hat Mamas - S17-E7
Factual error: Milhouse says he speaks fluent Italian, but his Italian is full of basic grammatical errors. He says that "insegnante" means "masculine teacher" when the same word is used for a male or female teacher. There are errors in Lisa's Italian course too ("barca piccola" instead of "piccola barca"). Despite Lisa's understandable mistakes, as she is a learner, Milhouse never corrects her (there is no such word as "idioto"). Even Milhouse's grandmother, who is Italian, makes many grammatical mistakes.
Continuity mistake: When Homer says to Bob that he tells Marge everything, his hand is by his mouth, the shot cuts and it is at his side.
Homer's Paternity Coot - S17-E10

Continuity mistake: In this episode Principal Skinner breaks into Bart's doctors office to find out if Bart has a 'kryptonite'. Bart discovered Skinner was allergic to peanuts. On Bart's medical history form under 'known allergies' it has shrimp ticked (they later battle with shrimp and peanut on a stick). However in a previous episode (The Heartbroke Kid, season 16 episode 17) it was discovered that he was allergic to cauliflower, so that should have been on the list as well.
Continuity mistake: When Homer is eating donuts while everyone is doing push-ups, his donut stays the same size every time he bites it.
Other mistake: When Moe is rolling his eyes after saying it was the first time he poured beer into the water supply, Herman's face is drawn incorrectly.
Other mistake: At the end when Bart and Homer are singing "twinkle twinkle little star" Bart's tongue is green.
Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
