Esteemsters - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mr. O'Neill is talking to Daria and Jane, the board behind him has a bunch of arrows in a circle with a different word written next to each arrow. When the camera changes to a further angle with all three characters in the frame, the arrows remain on the board but all the words are completely gone - then appear again once the camera is close up to the board again.
Continuity mistake: Daria arrives at school without her glasses (her choice). When the scene changes to Mr. O'Neil's class, first shown from the back facing O'Neil and the backside of students, Daria (sitting on the left of the screen) is shown from behind and her glasses are showing on her face (as usual). When Daria is next shown talking close up in the remainder of the scene, she is without her glasses again.
Esteemsters - S1-E1
Trivia: This debut episode is the only time any reference to Beavis and Butt-Head (where Daria was originally first introduced before spinning off into her own series) is mentioned. Helen mentions the town of Highland (where B&B took place) in one line (without mentioning B&B by name). No other reference was ever made.
Question: Whenever Kevin talks to Mack, Kevin calls him "Mack Daddy." Mack always responds with "Don't call me that." What is the reason Mack doesn't like to be called "Mack Daddy"?
Answer: "Mack Daddy" was a 90s phrase meaning "Ladies man," and Mack simply doesn't like the stupid nickname.
