Fran Drescher stars in her defining role as street-smart Fran Fine, a diva down-on-her-luck who finds herself hired for a job she never even applied for! Now, she's the nanny for a rich, sophisticated family in Manhattan, and when this blue-collar girl from the block moves in with the blue blood, widowed Broadway producer and his three children, comedy is red hot!

Sony brings to DVD the first season of this one-of-a-kind sitcom starring Fran Drescher as the warm-hearted, nasal-voiced nanny from Queens who lands a job caring for three children of a wealthy, widowed Broadway producer from Manhattan. During the show’s six-year run (1993-1999), Drescher dazzles as Fran Fine in a role she created and developed (as writer and producer in several episodes) and obviously relishes, whether she’s flirting, whining, sparring, or showcasing her sensational wardrobe. The three-disc collection features 22 episodes beginning with "The Pilot," when Fran knocks on the Sheffield’s door and is mistakenly hired as their new nanny, establishing the show’s shtick of "blue collar meets blue blood." Immediate chemistry between Nanny Fine and Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy, "Days of Our Lives") fuels the storylines while the sarcastic repartee of Sheffield’s assistant, C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) and Niles the Butler (Daniel Davis) further ignites the entertainment. Season highlights include "The Butler, the Husband, the Wife, and Her Mother," when the family enters a parallel universe in a hilarious turn of events; and "Imaginary Friend," the season’s turning point where Drescher’s physical comedy (inspired by Lucille Ball) is given free reign. Celebrity guests include Carol Channing, Cloris Leachman, and Patti LaBelle (in the finale). Don’t miss the bonus material: a heartwarming "making-of" retrospective with the cast, and Drescher’s audio commentary during "I Don’t Remember Mama." Mild profanity and sexual innuendo. (Ages 12 and older) --Lynn Gibson

The Nanny- Non Stop Laughter - Reviewed on 2008-10-25

From this sitcoms very first episode, the series was filled with laughter, love, and emotion. Great entertainment for the entire family guaranteed to keep a smile on your face throughout every episode! A great series to own so that you can watch it for years to come! Wish that they would hurry up already and put out the remaining seasons for fans to purchase!

I think is great to have The Nanny on DVD, but in the info says that has two languages: English and Yiddish and it only came in English. One of the reason that I bought this product was because it supposly came in Yiddish.
One of the best shows on TV - Reviewed on 2008-09-25

The synopsis of the show is there is streetwise Fran who gets kicked to the curbed by her piece of crap boyfriend and gets taken in as a nanny by widow Maxwell Sheffield to raise his 3 kids. There quickly becomes a sexual attraction between Sheffield and Fran that they deny. There is Max's business associate CC Babcock and the butler Niles that are always wisecracking back and forth. The kids are very withdrawn and trouble makers because they have no one to teach them to grow up. So Fran steps in and fills the gapa in the hearts and their lives. Every episode is full of laughs and a good moral!

The funniest sitcom ever. The way "Fran Drescher's" character weaves herself in and out of situations couldn't be funnier. Utterly love the banter between "Niles" and "CeCe", not to be outdone is that Sylvia...what a mama.
