Shopaholic - S3-E6
Factual error: In the last scene, Fran has a soda cup from In-N-Out, which at the time, of the show, only had one restaurant out of the state of California, in the state of Nevada. Even today (2020), they don't have any stores east of Texas.
Franny and the Professor - S3-E2
Factual error: When Fran is on Jeopardy, she gets a Daily Double question and wagers $1,000 dollars. When she answers the Daily Double question though, she buzzes in first and Alex calls on her to answer. Fran would not have needed to buzz in since the Daily Double can only be played by one person.
Smoke Gets in Your Lies - S1-E2
Other mistake: Fran and Maxwell come out of the dining room and go into the living room. They come out of the door that normally leads to Maxwell 's office.
Character mistake: While driving in a taxi, Fran says McDLT was discontinued in 1994, but in fact it was three years earlier in 1991.
Continuity mistake: Just before the end credits start rolling, CeCe is sitting at the kitchen table. Yetta walks towards her with half a cookie in her left hand and the box in her right hand. She moves the box to her left hand so the cookie and the box are both in her left hand. Then she puts her right hand on CeCe's shoulder and suddenly the cookie is in that hand.
Danny's Dead and Who's Got the Will? - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: At the start, when Fran joins Niles, she's holding a green mug in her left hand and a muffin in her right hand. But the mug and muffin suddenly switch hands when Fran and Niles head to the sofa.
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning when Niles lets C.C. in the house and she puts an envelope on the table, you can see a crew member start to step out through the hall in the background and step back real quick. Then as C.C. starts to walk back to the door, you can see them step back out to cross over.
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.
Continuity mistake: Fran's belt changes when she is in the kitchen from a pink leather one to a zebra one and then back to the original.
Suggested correction: As soon as it cuts from the show's intro to the first shot in the kitchen, we see Fran buckling her old zebra-striped belt around her waist. When Niles picks up the artificial lemon tree we see Fran touching her belt, and as the camera faces Niles when he exits the kitchen Fran unbuckles her belt offscreen. In the next shot Fran's zebra-striped belt is in her hand, and she places it back in the box of her old stuff from her Ma's house. No continuity issue. Starting time code 00:03:35.
The In-Law Who Came Forever - S6-E11
Revealing mistake: When Sylvia is cooking in the kitchen and greets Fran, her sleeve rests right under the frypan. If the heat was really on, the sleeve would have caught fire. (00:06:07)
One False Mole and You're Dead - S5-E12
Character mistake: CC, when talking about the Marie Antoinette show, says that Louis and Marie had two children. They actually had four children (Marie Therese, Sophie, Louis Joseph, and Louis XVII).
Visible crew/equipment: As Fran and Grace enter the room, the boom mic is briefly visible at the top of the frame. (00:05:07)
Continuity mistake: The smash vase is placed on the office desk by Niles, it keeps jumping back and forth between two different orientations between scenes. (00:10:34 - 00:12:57)
Revealing mistake: Ms Babcock enters the house and stands by the small table You can see Maggie in the hallway behind her come out for her scene too early and duck back out of sight, and then quickly re-enter the scene just as the camera pans away. (00:07:20)
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. Mr. Sheffield is coming up the back and the guy is looking out of the side towards the front of the van but is still telling the girls what Mr. Sheffield is doing.
Visible crew/equipment: When Maxwell is in Fran's room and Fran stands up a boom mic is visible.
Pilot (a.k.a. The Nanny) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Maxwell comes over to Fran's mom's apartment he sits on the couch. There is a orange pillow behind him and a yellow pillow next to Fran. Part way through the scene the yellow pillow is now behind Maxwell.
Continuity mistake: When Fran and Gracie are making cookies there is a spatula on the cookie pan that changes position a couple of times throughout the scene.
Smoke Gets in Your Lies - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Val comes over and sits on the couch she crosses her legs. The shot changes and she crosses then again.
The Honeymoon's Overboard - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: When we first see Fran lying on the beach, she is the only one in sight, but when she sees Maxwell on the beach he is not too far from her, despite not having been in the earlier shot.
