Lisa's Pony - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Lisa calls Homer at work, you can see some monitors to his right, and a fire hydrant in back of him. When he turns to his right, you can see that the monitors disappear, the fire hydrant moves, and a green telephone appears next to it.

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Audio problem: When Marge is running errands, Homer gives her his bowling ball with a bottle cap stuck in a hole. She then takes it to Nicks. When he says, "Sorry lady, you've got the wrong Nicks," he shakes his head and makes an "Ohh" shape with his mouth, not saying anything. (00:03:50)

Radio Bart - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bart tries to get his radio back from the well, watch the police barriers. When Lou and Eddie get coffee, they walk through one of the barriers, tearing it. Several shots later, this torn piece has vanished, and then the barriers disappear entirely. (00:15:40)

Suggested correction: The bottles remain on the bar, the knife is not placed on the bar so could easily have been put under the bar where Moe is known to keep a shotgun.

Bart the Murderer - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Bart realizes he forgot his permission slip, the camera shows us that the paper is half-under his pillow. However, when he got out of his bed at the very beginning, the paper wasn't under his pillow. (00:01:00 - 00:03:05)

Yoshi

Separate Vocations - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Lisa is clapping erasers because she sassed Miss Hoover a second time, the room's clock is visible near the top of the ceiling. However, the clock wasn't there several shots earlier. (00:17:00)

Yoshi

Black Widower - S3-E21

Revealing mistake: When Moe and Barney are seen drinking wine at the wedding, somebody walks away with a tray. When they are drinking the animation is repeated because you can see part of the tray keeps coming on and off-screen. (Look by the bottom right). (00:13:25)
