    Storyline

    Edit
    Fran and Maxwell realize that Fran needs more therapy after Fran chastises Maxwell for some innocent making out with his date. Fran has a break through with Dr. Miller. Despite Dr. Miller's diagnosis being rather straightforward, Fran proclaims him to be a genius. She quickly changes her mind about Dr. Miller when she sees him in a public non-office setting, he clandestinely picking his nose. Fran is totally disgusted. However, when Maxwell learns second hand from Sylvia that Dr. Miller "did something inappropriate and put his hands where they shouldn't be", Maxwell comes to another conclusion. Fran feels like she needs to work through this problem directly with Dr. Miller. Maxwell also feels he needs to work through this problem directly with Dr. Miller. Meanwhile, C.C. needs to find a last minute date for an awards show after her current beau, Chandler, dumps her. Her choice of date is unexpected. —Huggo

    8/10
    Any Nanny episode in which Sylvia eats while talking is worth the price of admission
    "The Nanny" is a great example of TV bubble gum--a fun way to spend half an hour without challenging the gray cells. Most episodes of the series are about Fran Fine getting herself into and out of an embarrassing situation or clearing up a misunderstanding with her boss, Maxwell Sheffield. But any episode in which the remarkably gifted Renee Taylor demonstrates her comedic approach to eating while chatting with her TV daughter is as much of a treat as the delicious food her character, Sylvia Fine, manages to slop all over the place. In this episode, her usual performance is enhanced by the fact that she's complaining about another person's lack of etiquette as she provides her own spectacle of questionable manners. Bravo, Ms. Taylor!
