** There is a common belief that the final pairing between Korra and Asami was censored by Nickelodeon, but there isn't actually any evidence to back this belief up. In the creator's blog post describing the process of including the gay couple, they admitted that they literally didn't ask if it could be included until the finale was almost done being made, and that Nickelodeon was actually supportive of the ship. Furthermore, some fans have speculated that Korra and Asami were going to kiss in the finale before it was cut, but in that same blog post, the creators stated that the final shot of them holding hands was planned a year before the episode was even made, meaning they weren't really censored in any way and didn't make much of an effort to include the ship, only confirming it after the series had ended.

** It's common to hear Princess Cadance referred to as "The Princess Of Love", keeping in line with how all the other princesses have titles related to their duties, and how Twilight Sparkle earned the title "The Princess Of Friendship" when she became an alicorn. However, Cadance is never referred to as such in the series, but merely described as someone who "spreads love wherever she goes" and shown to be capable of magically quelling arguments between lovers. She's never actually shown having this as a duty like the other princesses, instead being in charge of ruling over the Crystal Empire and having the title "The Crystal Princess" alongside "The Crystal Prince" Shining Armor.

** Ask people what Sideshow Bob episodes are about, and they'll usually say "Bob trying to murder Bart." Of the various Bob episodes in the first eight seasons, only one ("Cape Feare") had Bob's primary scheme being to kill Bart; in all the others, it's at most a side scheme, and several have him not caring about Bart at all. If anything, [[NeverRecycleYourSchemes they almost made a point to avoid him repeating schemes]]. After "Cape Feare", the first episode where Bob's primary motive is trying to murder Bart is "Funeral for a Fiend", which happens in the ''nineteenth'' season. By later seasons, that motive actually ''does'' become the focus of several of his episodes, usually while trying to lampshade that Bob has schemed to kill Bart countless times.

** Homer is legendary for [[NewJobsAsThePlotDemands being continually fired or quitting his job at the Nuclear Plant to take on random new professions.]] Except, throughout the Classic Era, Homer only actually is fired fired once, in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E3HomersOdyssey Homer's Odessey]]", the third episode of the series (and first written), and he never quits outside of a flashback story [[note:]]He's laid off in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E11BurnsVerkaufenDerKraftwerk Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk]]" after the plant comes under new management, but never gets a new job before he is rehired.[[/note]]. The majority of NewJobPlot's are either implicitly or explicitly side-hustles he is doing atop his regular job at the plant ([[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E20ColonelHomer acting as Lurleen Lumpkin's manager]], [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E9MrPlow running a snow plow business]], [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Krusty impersonator]]) or are related directly to Burns' business in some manner ([[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E10Springfield working as a dealer at the casino Burns runs]], [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E17HomerTheSmithers filling in for Smithers as Burns' assistant on the former's request]], [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E2YouOnlyMoveTwice being given a better offer at a rival company]]). It's only in the DenserAndWackier Scully era that Homer's propensity for new occupations becomes a series fixture.

* Despite what anyone tells you, ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' did not move the location of the Academy from New York to California, despite how much that may appear to be the case at first glance. It just took place in a [[CaliforniaDoubling very California-like New York]], which admittedly is really odd ''because it's animated''. It doesn't help that the writers also seem to get confused themselves, as one episode has Rogue state that it never snows in upstate New York, which is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noreaster far from the truth]].
