The TVI Take

Fran Drescher and Peter Marc Jacobson's CBS sitcom anchored by Drescher as Fran Fine, a Queens cosmetics-shop worker hired as nanny to a Broadway producer's children. The structural commitment to letting Drescher's specific working-class-Jewish-Queens performance register, distinctive nasal voice, ostentatious wardrobe, family-architecture specifics, be the show's actual subject is what gave the property its enduring cultural canonical position.

Genre-competent comedy work.
