The Nanny
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
Created by Fran Drescher, Peter Marc Jacobson
On CBS
A warm, energetic sitcom built on the fish-out-of-water charm of a working-class woman integrating into an upper-class household, sustained by strong ensemble chemistry and the central romantic tension between employer and employee.
That flashy girl from Flushing with the heart of an angel (and the voice of a slighty more nasal angel). The comic misadventures of the sweet and sassy Fran Fine, her sophisticated employer, Broadway producer Mr. Sheffield, his boisterous brood and his wisecracking staff.
