Product Description
A Jewish cosmetics saleswoman from Queens, New York takes a job as a nanny for wealthy Broadway producer Max Sheffield's children.
In the second season of her renowned show (1993-1999), Fran Drescher sizzles as Nanny Fine, continuing her inimitable style of witty one-liners, physical comedy, and fashion flair, which unequivocally establishes The Nanny as one of the freshest and funniest sitcoms of the '90s. From the uproarious season opener, "Fran Lite"--where Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) dates a carbon copy of Fran--the 26 episodes in this three-disc set are breezy and brilliant. As the season unfolds, Fran is mistaken for a nurse, arrested for kidnapping a baby, and cast in a Broadway production. Sparks of affection continue to fly between Miss Fine and Mr. Sheffield (don't miss "A Kiss is Just a Kiss"), while the razor-sharp repartee of C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) and Niles (Daniel Davis) further fuels the hilarity. Guest stars include Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Sally Jesse Raphael, Erik Estrada, Shari Lewis and Lambchop, and Billy Ray Cyrus. Season One's supporting cast returns en masse, with more stage time given to Renée Taylor (as Sylvia Fine) and Ann Morgan Guilbert (as Yetta). Yet it is Drescher who is larger-than-life, stealing every show in a manner reminiscent of Lucille Ball, while peppering the plot with liberal doses of ribald, often risqué humor. Bonus material omitted. (Ages 12 and older) --Lynn Gibson

 Funny, but certain things are starting to get old! June 23, 2010

The good thing is that they FINALLY found the right shade of lipstick for Fran. In the first season, it had a burgandy base and was too dark. This season, the color has a red base and suits Fran's complexion much better.
Another good thing is that none of Fran's outfits were plastic. In the first season, she had a lot of plastic (pleather) outfits that were atrocious.
The best thing is that they are starting to bring Fran and Mr. Sheffield together which is nice. The episodes are also very funny. Like someone else stated they are dated but still very funny.
So, what's the problem? Chastity Claire and Niles arguing all the time is annoying. The worst part of this season to me is Maggie; all of her storylines center around boy crushes. The Maggie character seems so one sided and shallow.
The Nanny Rocks!! June 5, 2010
M. Ross Jr. (Spokane, WA USA)
The Nanny is great fun for the whole family. Fran Drescher is a wonderful comedic actress; she brings life to The Nanny. The supporting cast rounds out the comedic laughter. I loved Daniel Davis and Lauren Lane (Niles the Butler and C. C. Babcock). These two work so well together and the opposites attract rule is true with these two.
The Nanny still makes me laugh out loud. R. Kern February 15, 2010
Roslyn Kern (BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, US)
Fran Drescher and her cast of crazy charaacters has had me laughing for years.
What a great opportunity to see these tresured episodes again whenever I
choose. The writing is brilliant, the comedy is great and it never should
have been taken off the air. R. Kern
Sarcastic and sassy January 12, 2010
D. J. Nardi (Washington, DC)
This isn't the best sit-com, and it certainly doesn't have the best acting, but it is hilarious. The show is overflowing with sarcasm and irreverence. Fran Drescher is great as a nanny who doesn't respect boundaries - both personal and comedic. I love how Niles personifies the sarcastic butler. The kids are adorable, especially Grace, who talks back with an attitude. Every once in a while when I watch "The Nanny" I find myself bursting with laughter.
Unfortunately, the show didn't get much attention when it was on. Some of its cultural references are outdated (frequent references to the Clintons and Dolly Parton). However, if you didn't catch it while it was being aired, these DVDs are definitely worth checking out.
