Encyclopedic overview

The Nanny is an American television sitcom. It originally aired on CBS from November 3, 1993, to June 23, 1999, starring Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, a Jewish fashionista from Flushing, Queens, who becomes the nanny to three children from an Anglo-American upper-class family in New York City. The show was developed by Robert Sternin and Prudence Fraser, and created and produced by Drescher and her then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson, taking much of its inspiration from Drescher's personal life growing up, involving names and characteristics based on her relatives and friends. The series was produced by Sternin & Fraser Ink Inc., Highschool Sweethearts Productions (seasons 3–6) and TriStar Television.

The show earned a Rose d'Or, and one Emmy Award, out of a total of twelve nominations; Drescher was twice nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy. The sitcom was the first new show delivered to CBS for the 1993 season and the highest-tested pilot at the network in years. The series was hugely successful internationally, especially in Australia, where it was one of the highest-rated programs of the decade. The Nanny has been called "the '90s version of I Love Lucy" and "well written and entertaining." The sitcom has also spawned several foreign adaptations, loosely inspired by the original scripts.
