The Nanny (1993)
Well I love it.
I had to respond to the negative review that was the only other one on this page at the time I am writing this. Everybody is of course entitled to their opinion, but I felt I had to balance the scales a little on behalf of 'The Nanny'. It is one of my favourite series, and the accusations of repetitiveness aimed at this programme by the previous reviewer whilst having some justification, cannot solely be levelled at 'The Nanny', many other sit-coms rely on familiarity of characters and situations too - 'Married With Children'? It is ridiculous to claim that the leads in comedy programmes are normally comedians - any of the cast of 'Friends'? I admit that the show should have done one less series, and got to the wedding a little sooner, but please don't take one person's opinion as definitive, 'The Nanny' is a fun, funny, entertaining and sharp series for the most part. Otherwise how did it run 140+ episodes?

Don't worry, just watch it!
People seem to be trying to analyse this series to death, at the end of the day it is simply a wonderful comedy of manners, wonderfully acted and beautifully presented. The principles are all actors of great experience and charisma, working with almost infallible material. If you want slapstick or alternative humour, this is not the place for you! If you love watching a comedy where it is the actors who make the script brilliantly funny, rather than simply being given punchlines to deliver, then you should be in seventh heaven. Watch, relax, enjoy.
