"The Nanny" is one of those sit-coms you either love or you hate. Between 1993 and 1999, it racked up an impressive international audience. Possible reasons include: Ms. Drescher and her wardrobe (she was named by People magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world in 1996); the ongoing Jewish humor; the romance-novel tension between Mr. Sheffield and Ms. Fine; frequent pop icon guest spots (e.g. Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Alexander); the caustic banter between CeCe and Niles; the slapstick characters of Fran's mother, grandmother, and witless friend Val.
