Bart's Comet - S6-E14

Other mistake: When a comet is about to hit Springfield, everyone is standing on a hill in the shadow of it. But the shadow is still there even after it breaks up.

Lisa on Ice - S6-E8

Other mistake: As Homer is signing Bart's academic alert form just before Marge starts talking to Lisa you can read the writing below the "Academic Alert" title, but the writing is completely incoherent including sentences such as "IMAEGTSIAD TSNHOJI NAMREB". Update; some of the "words" or parts of them are people's names, such as David, Stuart and Allison, but backwards. (00:03:50)

Lummie

Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6

Other mistake: At the end, just before the Simpsons are turned inside-out, Bart is not only wearing his red shirt in bed, but sitting in a position that's not even possible in any position he was sleeping in. (00:20:35)

Suggested correction: It seems like it was done on purpose, as it includes the sound effect of a light bulb burning out. Clearly, it was meant to reference Hans Moleman's electric chair scene. The electric shock probably used up too much power—that's the joke.

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.
