Homer's Phobia - S8-E15

Continuity mistake: After John shows up in his car to take the Simpson family for a drive, Marge has her purse strap hanging off her left shoulder when she asks Homer to at least say hello to John. In the next shot, as she tells Homer that he liked John that morning, note Marge's purse strap is missing from her shoulder, but the purse is still there just hanging in midair under her arm. The strap reappears in its proper place in the next shot. (00:07:50)

Homer's Phobia - S8-E15

Continuity mistake: John is wearing Homer's old "Pin-pals" bowling shirt when the Simpsons first meet him, but only after we see the back of the shirt does the name "Homer" appear over John's breast-pocket; clearly there was nothing there during their entire previous conversation. And even if this is a deliberate "mistake" for comic purposes, in 7th season episode"Team Homer", the very same bowling shirt is ripped to shreds when Homer is being mauled by Mr.Burns' dogs at the very end.

My Sister, My Sitter - S8-E17

Continuity mistake: When Lisa arrives at Dr. Nick's, amongst the wheelbarrow line is a Professor Frink (and he's not even first in the cue). However, just a few minutes later, when Lisa ends up in the mud pit, we can see Frink amongst the crowd.

Homer vs. the 18th Amendment - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are escaping from the cops after stealing kegs of beer from the dump, they drive through a cemetery and slam into a headstone, breaking the right headlight of the car. When they pull into the driveway back at Evergreen Terrace, the left headlight is the broken one.

Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6

Question: Homer travels back in time and causes changes by what he does in the past, like stepping on a bug. I once saw a movie with the same basic plot: some people travel back in time and are told to be careful not to disturb anything, but when they return to their time everything has changed. In the end they discover it was because they stepped on a butterfly. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
