My review of the Nanny sitcom

Dedicated to my grandma Irene, for introducing me to this show

my grandmother and I used to watch the nanny all of the time and for that reason, this sitcom will always have a special place in my heart. Originally, airing on CBS, the nanny is about a nice Jewish girl from Flushing, queens, who got kicked out by her ex-boyfriend from their relationship and his bridal shop, and that in the shows theme song is explained.

The shows theme song also explains how Fran becomes a make up salesgirl and knocks on the door of the shed feels home, and by her knocking on that particular door that would change her life forever and turn her into the nanny to the children of a famous Broadway producer named Maxwell Sheffield. To me it is cute and funny that the plot of the show is the theme song and just to be a little funny it’s almost as if you’re saying that you don’t even have to watch the show to know what’s gonna happen.

A personal note, my grandmother had a little crush on the character, Maxwell Sheffield, as well as the guy that played him Charles Shaughnessy. I love the gay sensibilities that are within this show, the humor is so camp it’s great!

For one characters, like Niles, the Sheffield, snarky Butler, and the back-and-forth, sarcastic banter with CC, Maxwell Sheffield, assistant, and the parade of gay icons, who passed through the Sheffield mansion during the shows Run is why I say what I say about the gay sensibility. Fran, Drescher, stars as Fran fine, the nanny. we see a lot of Lucille Ball in the nanny, particularly in the comedic performance of Fran dresher as Fran fine. It is well known that Fran Drescher is a big fan of the comedic legend, Lucille Ball.

In the show, Mr. Sheffield became Maxwell and Miss fine became Fran between the two characters. Their relationship started as professional and became husband and wife, after a long evolution between both characters and their chemistry. I love Brighton, he is the sarcastic son, and he always delivered committed gold.

I was once watching a countdown retrospective called “ I love the 90s”, and one of the panel members, describe the nanny sitcom as very coffee talk, which, with the nature of the show is true, and was very true, and remain true till this day. Maxwell’s other children are girls– his little girl Gracie has to go to therapy because of her mother’s death, and her older sister is Maggie.

Fran’s fashion and style was fabulous, another reason why I love the show. She wore stuff that truly said trends, I will do an article on that subject later.

Fran fine, the character, was a blue collar and working-class Jewish princess from the neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, New York City. Before friend and Maxwell fall in love, French stick was to find herself a man, and that was her mother Sylvia gold for her daughter too. Her father Morty, exist, but it’s never seen, and if he does appear, it’s rare. Another personal goal of Sylvia’s was to find something to eat. Laugh out loud. Sylvia dressed like her daughter and she and Fran had incredibly big hair.

Before in a previous paragraph in the article, I had mentioned how Fran Drescher is a big fan of Lucille Ball, and that is obvious when some of the subplots of the show Harken back to the days of I Love Lucy. For example, and I love Lucy, Lucy would always get want to get into Ricky show and Fran as well always want to be a part of Maxwell‘s show that he was producing on Broadway or meet some celebrity that Maxwell was bringing home a new. Thank you for reading the end.
