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. 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.

The Dinner Party - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: Between 15-20 minutes into the show, Fran and her mom are talking in the kitchen. There's a box of Wheat Toasties on the counter. The top flap goes back and forth between folded up and folded down depending on the shot.

The Whine Cellar - S2-E10

More trivia for The Nanny

Answer: Mr. Sheffield needed someone to manage the kids, not necessarily babysit them. Brighton was a Bart Simpson type, Maggie was shy and awkward and Gracie had personality issues.

Answer: It's a bit of a stretch plot wise, but she is supposed to be more than just a "nanny." She oversees the kid's activities, manages the household, and generally keeps the family running smoothly in the absence of a mother. She is more like a family member rather than an employee.
