MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Chief Wiggum's hair is black in this episode, along with a few other early episodes. It is not until after the first few years that Wiggum's hair becomes blue.
FACT: Convenience store security cameras don't have microphones because they are only used to visually identify a suspect.
CONT: When Homer buys ice cream at the Kwik-E-Mart the containers are brown and white in the freezer. Yet when he carries a container of ice cream up the counter for purchase, the container is pink.
CONT: At the Kwik-E-Mart, during the armed robbery, when we first see the potato chip shelf, it's behind Homer as he stands in line. But when Homer dives for cover into the shelf of chips, it's to the left of him.
CONT: When Lou the Policeman appears each time in this episode, he is white instead of black.

TRIVIA

James Earl Jones was also considered for the voice of Sideshow Bob. The job of course went to Kelsey Grammer.
All three acts were designed so that you would come up on a face. First Krusty's face on the set, then Krusty behind bars, then Bob's poster on the wall.
Bart's sentence: They are laughing at me, not with me.
Itchy & Scratchy: Titled Burning Love. Scratchy lies in a hammock. When he turns over, Itchy shoots a flaming arrow in his rear. It connects, and Scratchy leaps up on fire screaming.
Couch Gag: The family sits, Maggie pops out, and Marge catches her.
