Matt Groening has said that he wants “The Simpsons” to end just as it began. Here are some of the changes, major and minor, that haved lived on outside of any specific episode. Many of these can’t be reasonably undone.

Paul and I are watching random discs of The Simpsons right now, and I'm trying to add to your list! The only one I found was an episode from season 9 (i think) where Lisa is an anchor on a News for Kids show, and she says she put Nelson on the news team because they dated.
