After a Jewish, high-voiced, woman from Flushing, New York gets fired from her job and dumped by her boyfriend, Fran Fine (Fran Drescher) is mistaken as applying for a nanny for widowed Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy), who has three children, Maggie (Nicholle Tom), Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury), and Grace (Madeline Zima), when she is stuck selling cosmetics in Manhattan. As she spends years there, she becomes great friends with the butler, Niles (Daniel Davis), and the three kids. She is good friends with the widowed man, and some romance sparks through the years.
This was a good show. Funny, sometimes a little immature or
vulgar, but overall quite good. Has anyone else noticed that since
the late '90s there have been almost no shows that have a woman
as the main charactar? (Ellen was another) Most shows today are
family shows that revolve around the husband or father. I think this
was one of the last lady shows. I used to love Fran Fine's outfits!
The wardrobe people really knew what they were doing with her.
