I would imagine that some of the writers would watch certain older episodes to serve as reference for their writing. Or at least for their initial story drafts. But I think they'd only watch specific ones that could be related to whatever story they're writing at the time. For example if they're writing a story to do with the Wonderbolts, then they'd go back and watch the Wonderbolt related episodes. If it's to do with the Apple family, then they'd go and watch the episodes related to that. Those are pretty loose examples just off the top of my head though. Then I'd imagine that they combine those references with whatever other research they've done before writing out their first draft for presentation. And then develop the rest through editing and re-editing until it's ready for producton into an episode. I could be completely wrong, but if I was in their shoes I would definitely have to go back to specific episodes for references here and there. Obviously they're gonna miss the odd little detail here and there. It's just one of those things that happens with shows sometimes.There's a show called Red Dwarf that I'm a fan off. A mistake that they made was that the main character, Lister ended up having his appendix removed... Twice. I can't remember exactly the number of seasons that had passed for that little error to have occured.
