Watching old tapes - the episode about Lisa's first word (can't remember name) - 2 bloopers noted:

1. In Homer and Marge's 1st apartment, there is a picture of Grandpa Abe on the wall, and he looks just like he does today. Yet, when Homer went to borrow money from him, he still had most of his hair.

  • In an old clip of the Krusty Show, Sideshow Bob's hair was blue.
  • There was another one, but I forgot it.

Maybe that was Grandpa Abe's father, Homer's grandfather.

Dye job?

I think early on Moe's hair was black, now it's blue.

Just like in the first handful of episodes Barney Gumble's hair was yellow (i.e. skin-colour), and in his first appearance, Waylon Smithers was an african-american. Oh, and Millhouse van Houten also had black hair every once in a while back then...

Now I got a problem with Smithers being black. In the early episodes he had a bit more of a tan than now. Other than the skin coloring, he didn't have a single other african-american trait.

True, although his genereal hairstyle - seen in a cartoon universe - could be an afro (an oddly coloured afro, but nonetheless). I'm basing the fact that he was supposed to be black entirely on Groenings comments in the Season 1 DVD set...

Actually, it's Wiggum's hair that went from black to blue. Moe's hair went from black to grey. Either way, they are continuity errors. It was early enough in the show that I assume smaller characters didn't have their models set in stone yet.

Milhouse's too, IINM.

Didn't Barney used to have yellow hair? And wasn't Smithers black?

Yes, he sang with his four brothers and went on to dangle a baby over a balcony...oh, that wasn't Smithers.

You're gonna slap yourself when you read this, but the episode is called, "Lisa's First Word." It's number 9F08, if you need the production code.
