 *In "Homega Man", Homer goes into the bomb shelter and does not shut the door, and you can still see it open for a while after he is in there. Herman does not close it behind him - you can tell by his skeleton's position. But Homer opens the door to leave the shelter after he has eaten the food, and it must have been closed for him to have survived the atomic attack, because it vaporised Herman, who was only a few feet away.
 *When Homer walks into the shelter, the steak is in a green can. When he comes out after the blast, the can has a yellowish color.
