And just like her character, she even went to cosmetology school and has killer style.īut in this version of a Cinderella story, Fran Fine, a cosmetic saleslady down on her luck, finds herself at the house of a rich, widowed, and very British Broadway producer named Maxwell Sheffield. Like Fran the Nanny, Fran the actress (and writer, activist, and trade union leader) is a native of Flushing, Queens, and is the daughter of a woman named Sylvia and the granddaughter of a woman named Yetta. And at the center of this gift - as well as the show itself - is Fran Drescher.Īside from starring in the titular role, she also created and produced the show with then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson. The good news is, all six seasons of The Nanny’s textbook ‘90s sit-com were made available to stream on HBO Max earlier this year, which is a gift to both new and old fans. In fact, it’s mildly surprising (and, personally, criminally offensive) that this show doesn’t get more mentions today given the level of nostalgia for the last decade of the 20th century. Perhaps the perfect example of this is The Nanny, one of the most underrated sitcoms of the decade. While some have achieved mainstream success and popularity (hello, Friends and Seinfeld), there were others that were just as - if not even more - wonderful, but just didn’t make it on the radar of as many viewers.
But aside from all this, the decade also gave us great sitcoms. Along with iconic fashion moments, it gave us catchy music, fun anime, and fascinating children’s books. The ‘90s was a pretty great decade in terms of pop culture.
