Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 2: - Franny and the Professor

Brighton Sheffield: [testing Fran's TV knowledge] Channel 29, what follows "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir"?
Fran Fine: That would be "Family Affair", the episode where Mr. French accidentally drops Mrs. Beasley off the terrace, followed by "The Munsters" with Marilyn Number 2, followed by "Bewitched" with Darrin Number 1 but Mrs. Kravitz Number 2.
Maxwell Sheffield: Bravo, Miss Fine. You seem to know more about sixties television than most people your age have forgotten.
Fran Fine: Well, are you calling me old or just stupid?
Maxwell Sheffield: You have a childlike quality that I find absolutely charming.
Fran Fine: [to Niles] Childlike?
Niles: [translating] Just stupid.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Fran complains over the phone that she only got 5 of the 6 boxes of Butter and Herb flavored Rice A Roni that she was supposed to get. A moment later when Mr. Sheffield comes in, there are 6 boxes instead of just 5.
FACT: In Final Jeopardy, the third place player would show their response first, before the second place and first place players. The producers had Fran, who was in third place, show her response last, so as to build up to the surprise that Fran was right and wins.
FACT: When Fran gets the Daily Double, she rings in to answer it. The contestant who finds a Daily Double does not need to ring in, as they'd be the only one allowed to answer it.

TRIVIA

The title comes from the sitcom "Nanny and the Professor" (1970).
