1x13 Some Enchanted Evening

Episode Quotes

Mistakes/Goofs

• Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Traffic reporter Arnie Pie appears as KBBL's traffic reporter "Bill" Pie - perhaps a brother with an identical voice?
• Goof (continuity error): The rose that Homer gives to Marge appears worse for wear when he arrives home, yet it appears pristine later, when Marge is holding it.
• Goof (continuity error): As they watch the Happy Little Elves and America's Most Armed and Dangerous, intercutting scenes depict Bart and Lisa's feet as either dangling or not dangling over the couch cushions.
• Goof (miscellaneous): Homer's voice fluctuates wildly in this episode. Sometimes, he speaks in the Walter Matthau voice (when he is rehearsing what he will say to Marge outside the house), and sometimes he speaks in a voice more typical of later season Homer (in the flower shop).
• Goof (continuity error): Homer and Marge's bedroom door opens inwards, yet the door opens outwards when Ms. Botz leaves the room after ransacking it.

Trivia
