While never truly a great show, The Nanny turned The Sound of Music-like premise on its head and added a deliciously tacky Queens, New York sheen. Much of the show was rooted in the fact that Fran Fine was a Jewish American princess was dropped into a world of emotionally restrained and stiff-upper-lipped WASPs and English blue bloods. We all knew that it was only a matter of time before Fran and ... read more

"Fran Drescher as Ms. Francis Fine Charles Schaughnessy as Maxwell Scheffield Daniel Davis as Niles the Butler Lauren Lane as C.C. Babcock Benjamin Salisbury as Brighton Scheffield Nicholle Tom as Maggie Scheffield Madeline Zima as Grace Scheffield This is probably one of those love it or hate it kind of shows. The one thing it had going for it was it was not your average 'who's the boss' or Mr. Belvedere' show about babysitting. Fran Drescher added her own eccentricities to her rol"

The Nanny

“While never truly a great show, The Nanny turned The Sound of Music-like premise on its head and added a deliciously tacky Queens, New York sheen. Much of the show was rooted in the fact that Fran Fine was a Jewish American princess was dropped into a world of emotionally restrained and stiff-upper-lipped WASPs and English blue bloods. We all knew that it was only a matter of time before Fran and her boss ended up together, the kids would eventually love her and think of her as their mother, and so on and so forth. But The Nanny was designed as comfort food, like most sitcoms.

One’s tolerance for the show depends entirely on how one takes to Fran Drescher. I find her I Love Lucy-esque antics to be endearing, her nasal whine to be a bit of character in an otherwise bland setting” read more
