Suggested correction: At no point does Lisa turn over the resume. She takes it, reads it and says it needs padding out.

Suggested correction: Lisa does turn over the resume, but there's nothing typed on the back. She's wasn't turning the resume over to continue reading it, she was just looking to see if there was something more because it was one line, hence her response of needing padding.

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When the family is at dinner, there is a top down view which zooms in on them from above. In this shot there is no newspaper on the chest (to Homer's left). In the next shot of Homer a newspaper has appeared. (00:07:50)

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Character mistake: Lisa states that Pierre and Marie Curie both died of radiation poisoning. This is incorrect, as only Marie died of radiation poisoning while her husband Pierre was killed by a horse and cart. (00:08:30)

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Burns is lay on the floor telling Smithers that he dreamed of Marge again last night, the painting behind Smithers is very badly painted and very childish in appearance. Burns' head is completely disproportionate for example. When the shot changes to Smithers the painting is now a lot more detailed and no longer looks childish. (00:14:42)

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Smithers opens the second case for Tom Jones as the green gas has all but dissipated from the case. When the shot changes, there is still gas coming from the case. The remaining gas also changes place in the vicinity of the case. (00:15:50)

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Audio problem: Ms. Krabappel is telling Bart about the laundry list of sicknesses he had to get out of the test. You can see her mouth doesn't match up when she mentions "...and that unfortunate case of rabies." The studio actually changed what Ms. Krabappel originally said which was "and that unfortunate case of "Tourette's Syndrome." [Some reports say that the original line of Tourette's Syndrome was left in syndications in certain areas. On the DVD version the rabies line has been used]. (00:16:00)

Homer: Alright, I will!

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
