The Nanny
Series · 1993
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.
The sides of The Nanny
- A nanny from Flushing in a Manhattan townhouse
- A widowed Broadway producer with three children
- A butler who never misses a joke
The Nanny is good for you if…
- you like a nasal voice landing a punchline every thirty seconds.
- you want a sitcom you can start at any episode.
- you like a will-they-won't-they stretched over years.
The Nanny is bad for you if…
- six seasons in the same household is more than you want.
- you find nineties laugh tracks and shoulder pads dated.
