Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When Homer is sitting watching cable, the rest of the family comes home and one of them is carrying a plant in a pot, which is put down next to the couch. While they watch and watch cable, it grows very tall and then withers down. When Homer goes behind the TV and starts kissing the wires, the plant has moved to next to the doorway and is suddenly fully grown again.
The Simpsons Halloween Special: Tree House of Horror - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Bart is unpacking his things from the box, if you look at the mantelpiece, we can see that there is a candle on the right hand side of it. But later on, there is a candle on the left hand side which wasn't previously there. (00:02:30 - 00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Lisa shows her exam to her family, the "a" note keeps changing from being circled in red and in a red round. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bart and Homer find Marge's paintings in the attic, there is a shot of the paintings all stacked up and you can see that the edges of all of them are the same shade of pink as The Front painting. However, when the boys flick through the paintings, the backgrounds and edges are a variety of colours, including pale blue.
Bart Gets Hit By a Car - S2-E10
Other mistake: When Marge is being questioned, before she says 'If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all', there is a shot over her shoulder looking at the blue haired lawyer. Not only is he (the lawyer) there directly in front of her, but he is also sitting on the bench with Burns. In all other shots his chair is empty as it should be.
Continuity mistake: When Patty and Selma bring food to the Simpsons' for one shot Patty's dress turns blue before turning purple again.

Continuity mistake: When the family are outside, in the shot just after Homer says "At the worst possible time" you can see the living room - everybody has disappeared in that shot.
Continuity mistake: When Homer is driving to Truckasaurus there is a wide shot of the road with two cars on it, but in the next side shot of the road, the road has loads more cars on it. (00:06:30)
Bart Gets Hit By a Car - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: During Marge's testimony, Lionel Hutz has a neat stack of papers in front of him the whole time. But in the close-up when Homer and Hutz both cover their eyes in sorrow, Hutz has several pieces of crumbled paper and a broken pencil in front of him. The was not nearly enough time for him to make such a mess since the last shot of him.
Continuity mistake: When Bart attempts to skate over Homer's car, his three mates are watching. Between shots they change from standing on the driveway to standing on the pavement. (00:10:55)
Three Men and a Comic Book - S2-E21
Continuity mistake: When there is a rotating shot of Bart, Martin and Milhouse up in the treehouse, the shot never goes past the table, even though it should.
Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When the door is answered to Mr Burns and Mr Smithers, Barney is seen answering, who has orange sleeves. However when the door is opened, you can just make out a white sleeve, which could be none other than Homer's.
Continuity mistake: When Lisa opens the classroom door (opposite the teacher's desk) and is shocked to see Miss Hoover has returned, note the door opens outward (into the hallway) and the doorknob is on the right side of the door. When Lisa runs out of the classroom, that door now opens inward and the doorknob is on the left side of the door. (00:13:40)
Character mistake: When Bart fakes being sick, on his way to the infirmary he passes the door with a sign that reads "maintanence" but the proper spelling is "maintenance", and when Bart reaches the infirmary, the sign on the door reads "ineirmary." (00:07:30)
Other mistake: When The Town is singing the Christmas carol you can see Sideshow Bob, who was arrested and jailed in series 1. We know he hasn't been released, as that's a plot point over the show. (00:18:10)
Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Marge is standing outside the Kwik-E-Mart, she is holding some papers with a picture of Mary Bailey and the words "Re-Elect Bailey." But in a long shot of Marge in the next shot, the papers she is holding in her right arm are now completely blank.
One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish - S2-E11
Revealing mistake: In the credits it shows Homer eating pork rinds. This is a reused scene from "Moaning Lisa."
Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Burns is drinking on his desk, a frame is misplaced. His shot glass, for a split-second, moves from its original position, to the edge of the table, and back.
Continuity mistake: Patty and Skinner go to see 'Space Mutants IV: The Land Down Under'. In a season one episode, 'The Telltale Head', a sign on the Springfield Aztec movie theater reads 'Space Mutants IV: The Trilogy Continues'.
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.
Suggested correction: Maybe he was allowed to participate due to good behavior. That's a possibility.
Rubbish. He is denied parole numerous times and shown to be a high risk prisoner.

Good behavior or not, a prison wouldn't furlough an inmate just so they could participate in a snow day.

I'm not sure if it's been discussed here or listed as a mistake. Part of the problem with "The Simpsons" and the Sideshow Bob character is that time both moves forward and doesn't move. In "A Brother From Another Series," Krusty visits the prison and tells Bob he hasn't seen him in years because Bob had been in prison all those years for his crimes. Yet Bart and Lisa are still the same age and in the same grade. Bob is also let out of prison on a work-release program in the episode.
