Continuity: This is a mistake for the introduction for the later episodes. When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage.

Continuity: In the bit where they sit on the sofa at the start of each episode, there is one rather long one where it starts off with the Simpsons dancing in a line, then gradually evolves into a circus with elephants and men dancing around fire. Look closely in between Homer's right leg and the dancing woman on his right. There is a pile of books on the little shelf underneath the lamp and telephone, and just as the camera starts zooming out from the line of dancing, the orange book on the left noticeably changes to purple.

Continuity: In the new opening sequence (season 20), you see Kearney and Jimbo sawing off the Jebediah Springfield statue's head, which starts falling down. In this wide plan, overhead and closing up, the whole town square is in full sight with no one visible besides those characters. The shot cuts to a close-up of the statue's head falling on Ralph Wiggum, now right next to the statue's pedestal where he was calmly eating an ice cream cone.
