The Nuchslep - S1-E4
Other mistake: About 2/3 into the show, Fran carries a box of cookies into Maggie's bedroom. The box's name brand is covered over but Fran says she brought the Mallowmars. However when they show an actual cookie they are eating, you can see it's a Snackwell Devil's Food Cake cookie, not a Mallowmar.
Continuity mistake: When Fran and Sylvia are in Sylvia's kitchen, Sylvia raises her right hand when she says "Its reform". When the shot changes she has her left hand raised and her right hand is on her hip.
Continuity mistake: In the kitchen, when Fran and Maxwell are tidying up, Maxwell picks up the bottle of chocolate sauce from the table. When he walks to the sink, the bottle is suddenly back on the table, and a few shots later Fran picks it up again.
Everybody Needs a Bubby - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Maxwell says "I'm not in the mood" in the lounge, Fran's hands are at her side. In the next shot her hands are on her hips.
The Bobbie Fleckman Story - S5-E3
Visible crew/equipment: During the videotaping of the Brian Setzer Orchestra in the Sheffield home, some of the camera angles (not the norm) are so low that we can see the top of the set.
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.
