Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: When Maggie (sitting on Marge) appears on "Tyrano-Vision," Homer waves his hand in front of her. However, we can see that he isn't leaning over too far, and in the next shot it is clear that both Bart and Lisa are sitting between Homer and Marge, so there is no way he could have reached over to her in the first place.

Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky - S14-E16
Continuity mistake: When Skinner opens the door to the room Lisa is in, there is a red book with white rings around it behind the door, it is easily the most noticeable book on the shelf. When the shot cuts back, the book is suddenly blue.

Continuity mistake: In the air duct, the dog comes up behind Willie in a straight line and licks his feet, we saw what the duct looked like when Willie turned around. However, when the children start throwing stuff at the duct, from the outside there is a sharp bend right behind where Willie and the dog are that wasn't there in the internal shots.

Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore - S15-E12
Continuity mistake: Milhouse is holding the Monopoly set in the Simpsons house. Then when his Dad comes in he isn't. Granted he could have put it down, but it isn't anywhere we can see, so he would have had to put it down behind the sofa which is somewhat unlikely.

Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore - S15-E12
Continuity mistake: Right at the end Lisa is holding a doll head and some cards. There is a very brief shot of Bart, and then when it's back on Lisa she doesn't have anything in her hands when they hug. There wasn't time for them to be put down and you cannot see them anywhere either.
