Me and Mrs. Joan - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Fran is having an intimate talk with Joan, Fran has a cookie in her left hand. Next scene it's an empty glass which she then pours a drink into, then the glass is empty and Fran again fills it. (00:14:10)

Tattoo - S4-E9

Other mistake: In this episode, Maxwell finds out about Fran's tattoo. Fran mentions that her tattoo was on her behind. Maxwell spends the episode trying to see it but in Season 3 and Episode 26, when the Sheffields are in the beach, Fran strips down to her bikini in front of Maxwell. Maxwell checked her from behind, meaning he should have been able to have seen her tattoo.

The Boca Story - S4-E25

Character mistake: The Sheffields are going to Miami but when they are there, Maxwell mentions having gone to Disney World on the same trip. Disney World is not in Miami, it's in Orlando.

Fransom - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Sheffield is running towards the van to rescue Fran and Val, the kidnapper is watching him through binoculars but is looking through a window in the opposite direction that Mr. Sheffield is actually coming from.

The Producers (1) - S6-E16

Question: At the beginning of the episode, I've never got what Niles meant to this question by Fran. Does this mean he always liked C.C. or maybe that, but didn't know it? "Are you telling me all those years you put dishwasher water in her coffee, you changed her lip balm for glue stick and called her a COW you were FLIRTING?!" "What, no good?"

*BleuFever

Chosen answer: Fran is still incredulous at the idea of Niles being in love with C.C. Niles' response is his typical sarcasm.
