Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11
Corrected entry: After Homer loses his job, he is jamming a fork in the toaster. We see sparks coming out of it, proving it's plugged in, so Homer should have been electrocuted as soon as he did this. (00:15:20)
Corrected entry: When Homer is dumping the treadmill off in the water, he sees Marge and the group of kids and runs off leaving the station wagon behind. In the next scene the station wagon is at home parked in the driveway.
Correction: He could have easily gone back to get the car. There was a significant amount of time between the two scenes.
My Mother the Carjacker - S15-E2
Corrected entry: When Grandma Simpson is about to sign the first spot in the guestbook, the camera shows that the guestbook already has writings in it.
Correction: Those are just the lines to write your name on and such.
Corrected entry: When they first get on the school bus, there is only one seat left, and that is the one next to the kid who later vomits inside the bus. But when Bart makes his way to that seat, you can see that he goes past one other kid who is sitting on his own.
Correction: If you keep an eye on that seat as Bart walks to wendel, you'll notice Mrs. Krabbappel sit in it. she'd hardly stand for the whole trip now would she?
Corrected entry: When Marge is sitting awake in the darkness, Homer says, "Marge could you close your eyes? I'm trying to sleep", because of the brightness of her eyes, gleaming in the dark. There was just darkness where Homer was sleeping, indicating his eyes must have been closed, so how would he have known that Marge's eyes were open?
Correction: You can see light when your eyes are closed. A small but bright light in the dark will be especially bothersome for some people when trying to sleep.
Corrected entry: This is not for a particular episode, but it happens in many episodes. Sometimes, people will enter the living room (where the TV is), from sides which don't actually have doors.
Correction: Not so, there are doors on all three sides of the room (not including the 'TV Wall'). Assuming the position of the TV, there is a door on the wall in front of you, into the kitchen, an archway that leads into the entrance hall and one to the left. A little used but obvious door to the garden.
Corrected entry: When Homer and Marge are discussing buying Bart a guitar, whenever there is a close-up of Marge, you can see that there are some patterns of trains on the wall behind her. They aren't there when the shot is of both Homer and Marge.
Corrected entry: At the beginning of each episode Homer is working at the power plant when some radioactive material becomes lodged on his back. Later, when he is driving home, the material is on his shirt even though he was wearing a protective suit when the material became lodged.
Correction: The radioactive bar doesn't stick to the outside of his suit, it goes down inside his collar. When he's in the car, he finally figures out that something's in his shirt and pulls it out.
Who Shot Mr. Burns? (1) - S6-E25
Corrected entry: During this episode, Skinner mentions that he doesn't have a secretary, but in a much earlier episode called 'Bart the Genius' he has one.
Correction: Skinner said he *doesn't* have a secretary. He didn't say he has *never* had one. He obviously doesn't have one in this episode. He didn't say anything about the secretary he had in Bart the Genius.
The secretary could've quit, been fired, taken a promotion, been laid off due to budget cuts, etc.
Corrected entry: Marge should not have received the letter from Ringo Starr because of the fact that she was in her teens when she wrote the letter to him, and she was not living in the Simpson family's current house.
Correction: I'm assuming Springfield has a postal service, and all postal services have the change of address forms she could have (and probably did) fill out when she moved.
Last Exit to Springfield - S4-E17
Corrected entry: The entire staff of the Nuclear Power Plant are meant to be on strike. The number singing in the circle around Lisa outside the plant is nowhere near big enough to run it, and other episodes show that there are many more of them. Where is everyone?
Correction: They were all on strike, they were not all picketing.
22 Short Films About Springfield - S7-E21
Corrected entry: When the tall man has pulled down Nelson's pants and has made him march down the street, the public all laugh at him. You can see Chief Wiggum laughing with them in the background. Funny thing is that he was tied and gagged to a chair just a few scenes earlier.
Correction: Not True. Both these shots were in different films, hence the name 22 Short Films About Springfield.
Corrected entry: Homer's dumbness is caused by the crayon stuck up his nose, as stated in the episode, but on a previous episode, Homer remembers he once was injected with a new drug which the government was testing, which left him bald, fat and stupid.
Correction: He also hit his head on a coffee table as a child and was brain damaged. There's a lot of reasons.
Corrected entry: Milhouse actually has two 10th birthday parties, the one that Bart was not invited because Milhouse's mom said he was a bad influence, and the one where he is bragging to Bart about how his dad got Krusty the Klown (which really was Homer) to his party.
The Springfield Files - S8-E10
Corrected entry: How is Homer supposed to know that Santa's Little Helper's birthday is the same day as his, when he picked him up at the race track?
Correction: When someone adopts a pet, the dog's birthdate is given in the accompanying papers which also lists the shots, when they were given, and if the pet is spayed or neutered. Even though Homer picks up Santa's Little Helper at the race track, the owners have to know how old their dogs are in order to see how long they can race (over their lifespan), and when they need to administer shots and any other medications to the dogs.
Corrected entry: For season 1, in the introduction Lisa narrowly misses Homer on her bike, then lets it roll into the garage. If you look closely, you can see the bike disappear before the screen moves.
Million Dollar Maybe - S21-E11
Corrected entry: Homer breaks his arm when pulling his arm out of the tree where he hides his money when Bart asks what is he doing, but for the rest of the episode his arm is fine. (00:16:00)
Correction: Clearly Homer didn't break his arm. He just dislocated it.
The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson - S9-E1
Corrected entry: The Simpsons don't only have one car. Why doesn't Homer drive the red station wagon that appears in almost every episode, instead of using a scooter?
Tree House of Horror X - S11-E4
Corrected entry: Just after the Simpson family have been chased by Ned in the car, Homer pokes Ned in the eye with a twig and it makes a squishy noise indicating Homer has poked his eye, even though Ned is wearing glasses.
Correction: When you see Homer poke Ned in the eye the first time, you can see that his glasses are pushed farther up his face.
Corrected entry: Apu is seen at Homer's BBQ shoveling meat into his mouth, yet, just a few minutes later, he explains to Lisa that he is a "strict vegetarian."
Correction: Electricity takes the shortest route possible, in this case, between the toaster heating elements, through the fork, to some part of the toaster that is grounded. Homer is not grounded, there is no reason for the electricity to go through him. I am not telling you to try it, but you may be surprised.
