An executive producer for The Simpsons noticed a continuity error in an episode of the show… and pointed it right out.
Mat Selman shared a screen grab of the season six episode called 'And Maggie Makes Three', in which a very pregnant Marge tells Homer that they’re going to have another baby – Maggie.
Except there’s already a photograph of Maggie in a frame on the top right-hand corner of the wall. Even though she hadn't been born yet.
Huh.
Maggie is in photo on wall behind Marge telling Homer she’s pregnant with Maggie https://t.co/uckWDl8qWp— Matt Selman (@Matt Selman) 1536110176
That's some Back to the Future-style hijinks right there.
Al Jeans brought the banter (we're hoping that's what this is).
@CliffFrancisII @mattselman @TheSimpsons I hope you’re happy because we just fired SEVENTEEN people for that blunder. Fired. Through. Done.— Al Jean (@Al Jean) 1536123309

There were some pretty interesting alternative theories about Maggie's picture.
@Pun_N_James @tylerobrown @AlJean @CliffFrancisII @mattselman @TheSimpsons That's a secret baby they hid like they… https://t.co/c3tPCvkVK6— Rawburt The Token Gay (@Rawburt The Token Gay ) 1536206268
@AlJean @mattselman @TheSimpsons That’s not a picture of Maggie. It’s a picture of Lisa when she was a baby.— Ruthless Bunny ❄️🌈 🦄 (@Ruthless Bunny ❄️🌈 🦄) 1536231539
And others pointed out the show's propensity for predicting the future...
