The Simpsons

Realty Bites - S9-E9

Continuity mistake: Snake has an earring in his right ear, but in some shots the earring is missing then reappears, or it switches to his left ear. Also, when Homer and Snake are fighting on the hood of the car Homer's right shoe falls off, but when the car speeds toward the Murder House, Homer is wearing both of his shoes while he and Snake are still fighting on the hood.

Super Grover

Skinner's Sense of Snow - S12-E8

Continuity mistake: When Skinner dismisses the kids from school, we learn the snow level is near the top of the windows and to the top of the doors. But in the next scene, we see a shot of Springfield and the Simpson home, where the snow level is to the bottom of the door. (00:08:02)

Homer and Apu - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Apu grabs the ham and crosses out of the expiration date with a thick black marker. When he places the ham on the shelf the black marker cross out is gone and the writing on the pack looks perfectly printed as before.

Sacha

Dancin' Homer - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Mr Burns and Smithers are standing outside Springfield Stadium, Mr Burns says to Smithers, "Put a little smile on his card" and Smithers is writing it down with a pencil in his left hand. When the Simpsons arrive in the next shot, the pencil has changed into another piece of paper.

Dancin' Homer - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Bart says to Homer that he's on "Jumbo-Vision", the man behind Homer is drinking from a paper cup with a straw, but when we see Homer on the screen, the paper cup has disappeared.

Pay Pal - S25-E21

Continuity mistake: When Homer sits down at the breakfast table with Marge, there is nothing in Marge's cup. In the next shot, a spoon suddenly appears, and after a quick cut to Homer, we return to them both and the spoon has gone again.

Pay Pal - S25-E21

Continuity mistake: When the students have to practice square dancing in the gym, Lisa spots a male student and there is a red circle next to her on the floor where she is standing. When the teacher tells Lisa she has to dance with groundskeeper Willie, the circle has disappeared.
