Revealing mistake: When Homer leaves the bar after the Superbowl, as he goes through the door, the background is missing. It's just a brown background. (00:20:00)

Revealing mistake: While Homer is waiting for Marge to come downstairs, both Patty and Selma are wearing turtlenecks.

(00:16:30)

Revealing mistake: At the circus as the clowns appear you can see a composition error on Homer's body. Homer's body is indexed to be as a background scene for several seconds where you can see the man's head fully who is sitting in front of Homer but you can just see that the man's head is in front of Marge's body. You will also see the clown's shoes walk over Homer's body before they update Homer's body correctly. (00:05:19)
Revealing mistake: In the opening sequence's parody of the series where Bart becomes fat and comes out from school on his skateboard, he theoretically should go down the stairs, instead his silhouette suddenly climbs up on the wall next to him, revealing a mistake in the post-production's animation. (00:06:05)
Revealing mistake: During the intro to some earlier episodes where Bart leaves the school, the scene pans down and the edge of the animation paper can be seen in a couple spots at the very bottom of the frame. It is blue in color. This error persisted through many seasons.

Lisa's Pony - S3-E8

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.
