Krusty Gets Busted - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the burglar points the gun at Apu and says "Hand over all your money in a paper bag" Apu immediately replies "Yes, yes, I will". But when Bart sees this incident on TV later, the time between the burglar demanding the money and Apu replying "Yes, yes" is much longer.

Krusty Gets Busted - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the robbery happens, Homer steps on the robber's feet, and we can tell he has large shoes. When they show video of the robbery on the news, the robber has regular shoes. During the hearing, they watch the video again. His shoes are back to long again.

Some Enchanted Evening - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Bart is shown sitting tied up on the couch and Ms. Botz walks in carrying a tied-up Lisa in her arms before dumping her on the sofa alongside Bart. You can see that the rope Ms. Botz has used to bind Lisa is wound right around her body from the neck right down to her ankles. A few shots later when Maggie comes down and frees her, the rope tying Lisa's legs together at the knees has disappeared.

Some Enchanted Evening - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Marge and Homer leave for dinner, there is a lipstick mark on the back of the door. The lipstick mark is from the scrapped pilot version ("the Butterfield Incident") in which Homer slams the door on Marge as she tries to kiss him. Some of the animation cells were re-used for the version that ultimately aired on Fox.

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.
