Errors in The Simpsons Forever!
Created by Bruce Gomes (bruce@snpp.com)
Below is a list of typos, errors and printing variations in the
book “The Simpsons Forever!,”
published by HarperPerennial
(
0-06-098763-4 )
in December of 1999. The intention is to provide a simple
reference to factual errors within rather than demote this
otherwise fine guide to the series!
Just as the book
The Simpsons Forever
serves to complement the first book in the series,
The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family, this list complements
the list
Errors in the Complete Guide.
All errors (even if only the type thereof) are emboldened for
easy page-skimming.
If you know of any mistakes not listed here, please point them out
in an e-mail. Please include
the page number(s) containing the error! We gladly note all
contributors names (if so desired) at the end of this document.
For a complete list of additional books, see the
Simpsons Book List.

Although the opening was altered, Bart nonetheless appeared writing

Should be “"butt.com" is not my E-mail address” rather than

appeared in subsequent showings inasmuch as butt.com is an actual

MISCELLANEOUS
|
----
|
While it is understood that not every page is necessarily
paginated, because of conflicts with illustrations, coloring,
etc., there are a remarkable number of missing page
numbers where there is ample white space to supply them
(including p. 18, 27, 34, 38, 39, 42, 46, 58, 63, 68, 71 and 76).
|
|
p.12
|
In the character bio for the "real" Seymour Skinner he appears
in a olive green uniform when it should be a dark green
uniform, as it appears in the center picture in the upper half
of the same page.
(4F23)
|
|
p.20
|
The episode number for
Episode “Lisa the Skeptic”
(5F05) is missing.
|
|
p.24
|
In the section "The Stuff You May Have Missed" they supply an
incorrect episode number, saying "The musical numbers in
this episode were drawn from the following episodes...
1F09, 'Homer the Great'". That should be episode
2F09.
|
|
p.25
|
In the section "The Stuff You May Have Missed" they state that
"Krusty is squirted in the face by Bart", when
in fact Bart is squirted in the face by Lisa.
(5F08)
|
|
p.41
|
In the section "The Stuff You May Have Missed" the last sentence states
"The Khlav Kalash salesman, last seen in
4F22,
'The People of New York vs. Homer Simpson...'". The correct
title of that episode is "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson."
|
|
p.64
|
The Shriners appear in cars driving from left to right with
Crazy Old Man in front and Grampa in the rear.
That's the reverse of the order in the episode (Grampa in front
and Crazy Old Man in rear). An intentionally incorrect placement
to allow the cars to read "APU LOVES MANJULA" from left to right
could have been easily 'solved' by having the cars driving from
right to left.
(AABF11).
|
|
----
|
On the back cover is mentions that it includes
"Homeris-mmms!" instead of "Homer's-mmms!".
