The Simpsons

This Little Wiggy - S9-E18

Continuity mistake: When the family are on the conveyer belt in the Knowledgeium, Homer turns round and grabs the handrail (after the Troy Maclure announcement) and his fingers are just touching the rail. In the next shot his hands are clasped to the rail.

Lost Our Lisa - S9-E24

Continuity mistake: When Homer's head gets caught in the middle of the draw bridge, a yellow stripe can be seen down the center of the bridge (where Homer has become stuck). However, in the closeup of Homer being hit by the cars, the stripe has disappeared.

Dandude

Trash of the Titans - S9-E22

Continuity mistake: When we see the wide shot of all the houses going along the road, you can see that Moe's door is facing away from the Simpson's house. But in the next shot, Homer jumps in through Moe's door, it's like the tavern did a 180 degree turn.

This Little Wiggy - S9-E18

Continuity mistake: When the family are walking through the car park after the visit to the Knowledgeium they walk by a purple car and there is a quick visual of a blue car in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.They immediately stop and they are now next to a pink and brown car.

Trash of the Titans - S9-E22

Continuity mistake: At the garbage man debate, when Homer says 'Then you should have been early.', we see a shot of Lenny laughing. To the right of him, there is an old woman. In the next shot of Chief Wiggum, the same old woman is sitting to the right of him. In the later shot of Wiggum, Miss Hoover is sitting to the right of him and the old woman has disappeared.

Lisa's Sax - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: In the episode 'Lisa's Sax' (season 9, ep. 3), King Toot's music store is across the street from Moe's Tavern. However, in numerous later episodes, there are stills of Moe's Tavern that show King Toot's music store next door, not across the street as in the aforementioned episode.

Trash of the Titans - S9-E22

Continuity mistake: When Ray Patterson's / Homer's office is shown, the text on the door is different according to the different shots. When the shot is on the door, the writing on the window (Name and Sanitation Commissioner) is close together, but when the shot is from inside the office with the door open, the writing is apart.

The Cartridge Family - S9-E5

TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield. It's all here: fast kicking, low scoring. And ties? You bet.
Bart: Hey Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Arriaga, Arriaga II, Barriaga, Aruglia, and Pizzozza.
Homer: Oh, I've never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs.
Homer: Woohoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. Mexico or Portugal.
