Corrected entry: As Bart tells his friends about his racer, there is a set of stairs visible at an impossible area of the garage. (00:09:00)

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: On his soapbox derby racer, Bart is pounding his hammer on an area that doesn't have nails in it. (00:08:00)
Correction: Pure speculation, we can't see the area he is hitting in enough detail to know if there are nails or not.
26th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: During the finals, if there was a paper speedometer on the Honor Roller, why would the speedometer be working at all then? (00:20:10)
Correction: This is a simple one, we never see the speedometer working. We see the needle fixed in one position before it peels off so no mistake.
25th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Homer complains that he missed a part of Joe Theisman. It's a TAPE. He can just watch it over again. (00:07:10)
11th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When Snake attempts to kill Bart, his plan fails when his car gets stuck between two walls. Right after, Bart and the cops are standing beside the car. (00:08:35 - 00:09:20)
Correction: I'm not sure if this was in there originally but on the DVD version they have a shot where the cops say "Good thing this alley way got so narrow" which means this was done intentionally for humor.

Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7
Corrected entry: When Homer wishes for his turkey sandwich, we can see tomatoes in it. Homer never said anything about tomatoes. (00:06:55)
Correction: He ordered turkey and he got turkey salad. There aren't that many people who would complain. Who makes plain sandwiches nowadays?
11th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: After Marge finds out that Bart didn't watch Maggie, she spits her pacifier at him. In the very next shot her pacifier is back in her mouth. (00:02:25)
Correction: Almost every other show it is demonstrated that Maggie has hundreds of pacifiers available to her. She spits one out, and she gets another one. That's just what happend here.

Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Krusty tells the monkey to wait in the car. However, when Krusty leaves, he has no car. (00:05:55 - 00:11:30)
Correction: "Go wait in the car" is a common form of dismissal in the film/t.v. industry - it means "sod off", words to that effect. No car is involved.
25th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: Why would the audience NOT notice that Nelson was given a knife by his friends? (00:13:40)
Correction: Even if they did see, why would they care? Knives aren't illegal and for all they knew, the knife could have been his to begin with.
15th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: If Seymour was trapped under papers, wouldn't his mother set him free somehow? (00:19:15)
Correction: If the police couldn't find or hear him despite being in the garage then she would most likely not hear him either.

The Simpsons (1989)
Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In Krusty's story, when he's doing his performance with balloons on the stage, we can see Krusty's father in the background, watching and clapping at Krusty. (00:09:10)
Correction: His father didn't know that it was his son until the other Rabbi sprayed him with the seltzer, washing off Krusty's makeup.

The Simpsons (1989)
Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7
Corrected entry: At the beginning of Part 1, we are told that the Simpsons are in Marrakech, Morocco. At the airport, however, we can see on the building 'Marrakesh Airport' - the spelling is different. (00:02:20 - 00:03:15)
Correction: Transliterations from other languages, especially unrelated languages, into English are inexact and even inconsistent. How many ways are there of spelling, in English, the name of the dictator of Libya? Gaddafi, Qaddafi, Kaddafi ...
9th Nov 2003
Rat Race (2001)
Corrected entry: In the helicopter, Tracy, the pilot, is sitting in the left-hand seat while Nick Shaffer sits in the right-hand seat. This is correct for an airplane but wrong for a helicopter when the pilot sits in the right-hand seat.
Correction: Not true, I know of several pilots who normally sit in the left hand seat, it shouldn't matter either way, there are controls on both sides in most choppers.

The Simpsons (1989)
Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Krusty's fancy coat is missing during dinner. (00:06:00)
Correction: There was a few minutes between these two scenes and it would have taken only a few seconds for Krusty to take it off.
15th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: If the cops are standing right beside the room where Skinner's trapped, and the door is partially open, why would the cops NOT hear Skinner when he yelled? (00:19:45)
Correction: This is a mistake, but it is the point of the joke. The cops tear apart Skinners room to find him, but don't hear him yelling in the next room.
13th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: How can Lisa eat breakfast and get on the bus in a matter of seconds? Also, Bart changes from being in his pyjamas to his normal clothing in no time at all. (00:01:30 - 00:02:15)
Correction: If lisa can eat breakfast and bart instantly changes there could have been a small break between the two parts.
15th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Krusty leaves, we can see Lisa at the door with Bart and Marge. However, she was sleeping just a few shots earlier. (00:10:20 - 00:11:25)
Correction: Marge could have woken her up to see off their guest.
15th Nov 2003
The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: When the school bus stops at Springfield Elementary, it is visible that the bus stops on the sidewalk. (00:02:20)
Correction: Otto is driving. It is not impossible or a mistake for them to be parked on the sidewalk.

The Simpsons (1989)
Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7
Corrected entry: When Mr. Burns is deliberately making Homer unconscious, he is exceptionally strong. He is supposed to be weak, as in "Homer Defined," when he couldn't give a thumbs-up. (00:18:00)
Correction: Since this is a spin-off type episode it doesn't have to follow the other episodes. The Halloween episodes have completely random continuity, with people dying/being changed to other forms/attacked by aliens, etc.

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)
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.

Future episodes show the garage is on a corridor to the kitchen, nowhere near the stairs.
