As soon as Fran Fine came into Sheffield's house to sell cosmetics, she never thought that her life as well as Sheffield's life will be changed starting from that day. Fran, a Jewish girl who is from Queens became the official nanny for Maxwell Sheffield; a Broadway producer, with three children namely: Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Little did they knew that having Fran as their nanny brings more to their home. It was also known to the show the presence of the compulsive eater of Fran, which is Sylvia, her very noisy mother, Fran's best friend, Val, which has a low I.Q, and of course, Fran’s grandmother; Yetta. She never failed to bring joy and laughter to the family that has been sad and depressed since Mrs. Sheffield died. Fran became also friends with the butler, Niles, who knew everything that happens in the house. Mr. Sheffield and Fran's feelings for each other became visible to others as the time went by. This became a torture to C.C (Maxwell's business partner, which has feelings for him too).
Mostly, people say that The Nanny is the 90's version of "I Love Lucy”. This show started on November 1993 as a late addition to CBS's Wednesday fall line-up. It became a hit when it was moved every Monday nights and stayed there until the third week, but was returned ever Wednesday night to improve its ratings. Because of this, CBS never moved its timeslot for the first time in 25 years. Still, its ratings went down not until the fifth season. The producer decided to bring an end to the story. Sixth season was shown until March. The series finale was publicized before the remaining episodes were shown to the public later during June.
While on its 6-year run, The Nanny received eleven nominations from Emmys. They won last 1995 the title best in costume designs. Fran Descher was nominated last 1996 and 1997 as best actress. Renee Taylor also obtained nomination as best supporting actress last 1996. A Fran Descher doll, which was one of their trademarks, was also released while the show is still being played on televisions.
The comedy show illustrates how a family survives without a mother but has a nanny who does all the housework for the family. But the nanny that we saw in this show was very much different from the nanny that we meet everyday. Fran is fun, loving, adorable, and caring to the Sheffield family. She didn’t only stand up as a nanny; she also portrayed the role of being a mother to the three Sheffield children since their mother already passed away.
There’s a lot of twist in every episode but you will still understand the whole story. Whether if you’re a teen, a parent, or young at heart you can still relate to this comedy show. Viewers can pick up lessons and share it to other people. Everyone loved and will love this show. It will not bring you to a blurry conclusion. All were clear, precise, and concise. That’s how wonderful The Nanny is.
Actors and actresses in this show played their role very powerful. Its like they’re doing it naturally and you can’t even tell if they are really acting. All was done so ordinary yet the story became special to their viewers and fans. It is a comedy show but can learn something from every episode that they play on air. That’s what I find very amusing in this show. They didn’t fail to illustrate the presence of entertainment and lesson in one show.
It’s very fun to recall shows such as this. But it’s hard to get a good copy since the final episode was last played in the year 1999. We can watch many comedy shows that are being played on our televisions every single night whenever we want to. But the thing is, shows that has a story like this is only one of its kind and is very hard to reproduce. You can’t really find another comedy show that will make you laugh as same as with The Nanny.
