Other mistake: In the DVD booklet, two errors are made for this episode. The booklet says Homer accuses Bart of ruining Thanksgiving and Bart was jealous of Lisa's centre piece. These are both incorrect: First, it wasn't Homer who accused Bart of ruining Thanksgiving, it was Marge who accused Bart of ruining Thanksgiving and second, at no point throughout the episode was Bart ever jealous of Lisa's centre piece.
Continuity mistake: When Red has finished the steak, he lies back and is the same position for Homer's small speech. However, as soon as Homer starts to say 'Wait, you're not breathing,' Red blinks when he is meant to be dead.
Continuity mistake: When Homer and Marge are in bed Marge moves up and we can see she isn't wearing anything, but in the close up you can see that she is wearing her pyjamas - note the thing around her neck, then it's back to nothing.
Continuity mistake: After the slinky leaves Moe's hands, and goes out of Maggie's room, we see that Maggie's toy phone is right next to the door way, then when the camera goes towards Moe, and Maggie, then we see the toy phone next to Moe and Maggie.
Plot hole: When Bart prank-calls Moe and tells him his name is Jimbo Jones, Bart says that he lives at 1094 Evergreen Terrace instead of 742 Evergreen Terrace, where Jimbo and Bart are. If Moe had taken those directions, he wouldn't have arrived at the house, instead he would have gone somewhere different. (00:18:30)

Cape Feare - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Bob has finished singing the score of the H.M.S. Pinafore, an English flag comes down. But when he draws his sword to kill Bart, the flag is gone. Where could it have gone?
Continuity mistake: When Barney becomes his old self again at the training center, he gets on a jetpack while holding a bottle. In the next shot while he is in the air, the bottle is gone.
Continuity mistake: When the school bus drops off Bart and Milhouse at the Simpson house, Bart puts his backpack on frontwards and starts krumping. When he walks through The Front door, he is still wearing his backpack on his front. It then cuts to inside the house, and we still see him coming through the door, but the backpack is gone.
Continuity mistake: When the men from Festival Cruise Lines arrive at the Simpson house, they park in the left-hand lane (closest to the house) with the car facing oncoming traffic, seen both when they first pull up and, more, in the background while informing Milhouse about his parents. But in the overhead shot of the house, the car is parked the other way around, following the direction of traffic.
Plot hole: The director of Radioactive Man says to Bart "we found our new Fall Out Boy. That's what I would say if you weren't an inch too short. NEXT!" But Milhouse is the new Fall Out Boy, and he's blatantly smaller than Bart. Bart was standing right next to Milhouse, so the director could see the difference.

Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marge walks out of her aunt's house onto the porch, the screen door's handle is at the right side, but in the following shots the screen door opens the opposite way. (00:10:05)
Continuity mistake: While Lily continues to "light up all the men's lives, except Homer's," when she walks into the power plant with picnic lunches, Homer is wearing a solid peach colored tie, but in the next shot it's a striped peach and pink tie. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: When Homer takes Lily home after her date with Burns, as Homer pulls up to her house, the doorknob is on the left side of its front door, but when Lily enters the house, the doorknob is on the opposite side of the door. (00:16:20)
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.
