Continuity mistake: When Tony Hawk and Homer compete against each other on the skateboards, Bart is on Tony's starting side. When Homer knocks Hawk off his skateboard, Bart is now on the side that Homer started on.
Continuity mistake: This is a mistake for the introduction from seasons 2-20 (1991-2009). When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage. (00:01:50)

Homer's Barbershop Quartet - S5-E1

The Girl Who Slept Too Little - S17-E2

Continuity mistake: When Marge is in the car upset at Homer, the door to their house changes from open to closed then open again between shots.

Continuity mistake: In the introduction, initially Maggie's seat is light purple. However, in the wider shot of her and Marge, the seat changes to a burgundy colour. (00:00:50)
Continuity mistake: In the bit where they sit on the sofa at the start of each episode, there is one rather long one where it starts off with the Simpsons dancing in a line, then gradually evolves into a circus with elephants and men dancing around fire. Look closely in between Homer's right leg and the dancing woman on his right. There is a pile of books on the little shelf underneath the lamp and telephone, and just as the camera starts zooming out from the line of dancing, the orange book on the left noticeably changes to purple. (00:01:20)
Continuity mistake: The notepad Homer draws the blueprint on changes from having content on it to being blank so he can draw on it.
The Simpsons Christmas Special: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Homer walks out Circus of Values with his purchases, he bumps into Flanders, and all the presents scatter everywhere.

As soon as it hits the ground it turns into a pink box with a white bow wrapped around it, with no shot changes. (00:10:15)
The Simpsons Christmas Special: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Marge drops Lisa off at school for band practice. She walks up to the entrance steps, and then converses with two boys. Then her teacher comes up, and Marge gets annoyed.
