Corrected entry: In the final part of the "tear-jerker" sequence at the end, the pizza shop owner is seen to be elderly and walking with a stick. The sequence starts the day after Fry was frozen (when the pizza shop owner appeared to be middle aged) and is only supposed to last 12 years - the pizza shop owner ages too fast.

Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles - S5-E7
Corrected entry: It is explained in the episode "A Clone of My Own" that when you reach 160 years old you are taken by the Sunset Squad to the Near Death Star. Why is it, then, when the Neptunian used the age machine, she didn't immediately inform the Sunset Squad? Surely, she couldn't have known that Farnsworth had once escaped from the Near Death Star with the aid of his crew?
Correction: It's never said that what the sunset squad do is legal. They may just be robot rebels who have decided that they know best for the old humans. It's unlikely that they'd ever be found, because Zapp is the head of the Earth's defence forces, and he is amazingly inept. It's certainly never said that anyone agrees with what the Sunset Squad do, just that it's inevitable, and it's unlikely that anyone knows how to contact them (after all, it took the Smellascope for Fry and co to find them).

Corrected entry: Master Ffnog could not have possibly put on that full body suit and connected it up to the TV in the time that elapsed from when he talked to Leela to when the bell rang to start the battle.
Correction: The robot probably has some basic AI of its own, enough certainly to walk into the ring and punch Bender, giving Fnog time to get into the suit and control him for a real show of pummeling and skill.

Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: Blurnsball in this episode isn't played at all like the Blurnsball in the episode "Fear of a Bot Planet" except for a few similarities (like the ball on an elastic cord).
Correction: Blurnsball is shown to be an extremely complicated game (by our standards anyway) as there is so much that can happen. It's quite possible that every game played is completely different in terms of what happens. In "Fear of a Bot Planet" for example, the ball is "locked" and multiball is engaged (like in a pinball machine). In this episode, the ball isn't locked, so none of that would happen. It seems to be pure luck for the ball to be locked in that way (and presumably the scooter driving round the track is a sort of tradition for that kind of score/point).

Correction: We don't know how old he is to begin with, or what illnesses he has suffered from over the years. He may have been 60 to start with, and there is a quite significant change in most people between 60 and 72. He may have been in a car crash, developed a debilitating disease, anything.

True, and in Bender's Big Score, he is in a wheelchair and coughing by 2010.
