The Nanny Is a Quintessential Will-They/Won’t-They Sitcom That Still Holds Up
It’s hard to believe that almost 30 years have passed since The Nanny wrapped its six-season run on CBS, but even after all of these years, the show’s status as one of the most beloved and stylish sitcoms of the 1990s remains unmatched. The Nanny is the type of show that hooks you from the start and makes you want to stay along for the ride with the slow-burn romantic tension between nanny Fran and Maxwell. The palpable tension between Drescher and Shaughnessy and the opposites-attract dynamic of their characters created a sizzling dynamic that made them easy to invest in and created an emotional rollercoaster for viewers that established them as one of the standout romances in 90s television.
