This is the 3rd post of this blog and today I'm gonna talk about a retro tv show called " The Nanny ".
For those who don't know about this show, it's an American television sitcom that was aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999.
The main character is Fran Drescher playing Fine Fran, a jewish Queen's native who becomes the nanny to the three children from the New York/British high society.
The Plot ::
Jewish-American Fran Fine turns up on the doorstep of British Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) to sell cosmetics after having been both dumped and fired by her boyfriend and employer Danny Imperialli. Instead, she finds herself the nanny of Maxwell's three children, Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Maxwell Sheffield is unhappy about it at first, but Fran turns out to be just what he and his family needed, with her off-beat nurturing, no-nonsense honesty, and 'Queens logic'. She helps turn Maxwell and his children into a healthy, happy family.
While Fran Fine manages the children, butler Niles (Daniel Davis) manages the household and watches all the events that unfold with Fran as the new nanny. Niles, recognizing Fran's gift for bringing warmth back to the family, does his best to undermine Maxwell's business partner C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) who has her eyes on the very available Maxwell Sheffield. Niles is often seen making witty comments directed towards C.C with C.C often replying with a comment of her own in their ongoing game of one-upmanship.
As the series progresses, it becomes increasingly obvious that Maxwell is smitten with Fran even though he won't admit it, and Fran is smitten with him. The show teases the viewers with their closeness and "near misses" as well as with an engagement. Towards the later seasons, they finally marry and expand their family by having fraternal twins.

Author's Note ::
Well, to know more about this show, you guys can check here.
If you ask me about my honest opinion, this show was a very big part of my life while I was growing up. The plots were good. There were some moral values thought to the viewers throughout the series. The series will tear your mouths out of your mouth laughing. It is hilariously funny to the core! I swear to you, I've watched this show for like 100 times already and every episode still can make me laugh again and again and again.
Honestly, all of you should go watch this series.
You guys can buy the original dvd or watch in netflix I think.
Or for those cheapskate people out there, you guys can watch the full seasons and all the episodes on YouTube.
