    • Trivia
      When the show was broadcast in the U.K., many viewers wrote in to chide Charles Shaughnessy over his "imitation" English accent, and suggested he practice with co-star Daniel Davis on how to do a proper English accent. The cast found this quite amusing, as Shaughnessy is a native Englishman, born in London while Davis is an American, born in Arkansas. In a nod to this funny situation, an episode in the final season, has Niles appearing in Grace's (Madeline Zima's) school play of Cleopatra, where he receives bad reviews, one of which, is how his English accent sounds fake.
    • Goofs
      Maxwell's age is inconsistent - for several years it remains at 42 yet in the 3rd season goes to 41.
    • Quotes

      C.C.: Seriously, Niles, where do you keep all that cash?

      Niles: Someplace you'll never get near.

      C.C.: Oh, your mattress.

      Niles: No.

      [pointing at Mr. Sheffield]

      Niles: His.

    Fran Dresher is a very nice person and a very funny and talented actress, she made us laugh for six years and I think she should stay with us for much time. Everything about the show is great, the cast is very talented, the story-lines are never repetitive and always funny, they left us in 1999 and after six years of the beginning it was still a hit. Maybe it's for the best, because we'll always have good memories of the show, they didn't wait until people became tired of it.
