The Nightmare After Krustmas - S28-E10

Continuity mistake: While Krusty is in the hospital talking to Sophie, he pops the IV line from his arm so the tubing hangs down from the fluid bag. But when Krusty tells Sophie that he knows she's reaching out, suddenly Krusty's IV line is properly inserted in the cannula again, only to change back to the tubing hanging down. Also, the white pillow propping up Krusty's foot vanishes and reappears during these shots. (00:05:15)

Continuity mistake: When Bart opens the door for Krusty and Sophie, Bart is standing on a floor mat, but in the next exterior shot, that indoor floor mat has vanished.

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.
