Do you think that The Nanny ended just right? or do you think something else? Vote now! Then you can post how you voted and why! :)

Absolutely, the series ended extremely well; the final episode was very funny and, when necessary, touching. I miss the show; it should never have been canceled, but at least Lifetime is picking it up! :happyface :happyface :happyface

I know I've seen the final episode but for some reason I can't remember what happens. Could someone refresh my memory?

I haven't seen it awhile myself, so forgive me if I have some of the facts wrong. But here's what I remember:

Fran and Max had their babies (twins, a boy and a girl, i think). Maggie had gotten married a few episodes before this, and so she is with her new hubby. Niles and C.C. finally got together and -- were they going to be married in the end? I think she might have been going to have a baby also. I'm not sure. Anyways, Max (and C.C.?) got a job in Hollywood to produce a sitcom and so the whole family said goodbye to the mansion and headed for CA. Fran was the last to leave - and it was sad watching her think back to all the good times she had had there.

I thought it was the perfect ending! Max finally gets the oppertunity to move up in his career, C.C. and Niles end up together (which we all knew was going to happen, despite the insults for 6 years, lol), and Fran finally gets children of her own and ends up with her Mr. Sheffield, who she loved since the beginning. Gosh, that was a great show. I'm sorry it had to end, but since had to, I'm glad it ended the way it did.

Yep, you just missed on funny part. Niles and C.C. ended up togther, and C.C. was having stomach pains, and found out she was pregnant. She didn't know this, so she thought she was anxious to get married. So they were married and were holdiong hands while Fran was underneath and right in the middle of labor! :lol: And they also revealed C.C.'s full name as chastidy Claire and everyone gave her this weird look. It was a great episode. :D

The ending was perfect HOWEVER because of the events that took place, they could have (& should have) created a WHOLE new series based in CA. It could no longer be THE NANNY because Fran no longer was but with C.C. & Niles now married w/ a child on the way, Brighton backpacking through europe, Maggie Married to the Model, Gracie who was once the baby is now the big sister & the eldest in the house & then there is Fran & Max w/ the twins, now living in CA & Max's new career there is just a ton of new material & we already know the chemistry is there & the comedic timing is right on the mark, how could it fail. Its a missed oppertonity that in my opinon based on the responses of the cast members to the ending of the series would have been a welcome chance for them to continue working together.

Its not to late & I'm sure that the show would get lots of attention if they decide to do it. But alas I guess its just wishful thinking on my part.....

I think it ended right except for the fact C.C. and Niles got together. I would have rather them stayed like they were, making smart remarks about each other. I'm glad that Fran and Max FINALLY got together.

I looooooooooove THE NANNY, but I must admit: the show ended too late. By the final season, the writing got very stale; and the show just seemed to run out of gas. It seemed as though practically everything was done out of desperation, an excuse to finish the season and get it over with.

Although not as bad as the earliest episodes, the ones after Max and Fran get married are indications that the nanny overstayed her welcome.

It might have seemed as though "everything was done out of desperation, an excuse to finish the season and get it over with"
but The cast had no idea the show was being pulled. They had filmed a few other episodes when the news came that the show had been canceled & the station had planned to pull the plug then and there just dumping the extra episodes, however through an outpouring of requests from fans they decided to show the last few episodes over the summer.

In the episode " The Baby Shower"
At the hotel lobby, Fran Drescher tells Fran Sheffield not to miss the series finale "next week". Obviously, at the time the writers did not know the show was going to undergo a hiatus and this episode would be broadcast after the finale.

So everyone had expected the show to continue the following season & only discoverd that was not to be.

I thought it ended nicely. Although I kept thinking Fran was going to look at the camera and thank us .. the tv audience. Anyone else think that ? Because it seemed like it was a long time while she was looking over the house before she left it.I just loved that show:)

I'm glad it ended, one season too late, but oh well :). I mean, she was no longer a nanny and the majority of the jokes weren't even funny.

I think it ended at just the right time. I liked seeing how Fran and Max worked out the differences now that they weren't boss and employee anymore. I was glad to see Fran have kids of her own. My heart broke the other night w/ the false positive. :(

k im bringing this up again and other stuff because this place is dead so no i mean i love how it ended but i just wish they did more with niles and cc cause that was imo the best part of the show but it was a great ep.

Hi all!

I've been a long time fan of TN, but a recent discoverer of Sitcoms Online - I really like it here!

I think the show ended as best as it could have considering how rushed they were when they found out the show wasn't going to be picked up. The last episodes, imo, were strongly written. They were able to target each character specifically in each one: Maggie getting married, Brighton looking at colleges and then deciding not to attend Harvard, Gracie was able to stop seeing her therapist Dr. Bort (this part was cut from Finale I in syndication), Sylvia having an affair, we finally got to see what Morty looked like, Yetta and her letters to a past love affair, Niles and CC *finally* got together and Fran and Maxwell were moving to a new phase in their relationship as parents to twins.

We almost didn't get to see 'Dummy Twins', 'Yetta's Lettas', 'Maggie's Wedding' and 'The Baby Shower'. I remember after 'The Producers' episode, CBS showed 'The Finale' next and was going to end it right there. Can you imagine my hair loss? lol

I'm w/Smokeypeach, I wish there was more N/CC. And I wish the spin-off could have happened. ::sigh::

I also agree with smokeypeach and Sue Dunnym. Although I'm a Max/Fran fan, I enjoyed season 6. It was great to see Fran's struggle to become a mother, and of course who can forget Niles and C.C.'s bizarre transition from enemies to lovers? "Yetta's Lettas" is one of my favorite episodes. ;) Although I liked the "Will they/won't they" aspect of seasons 1-5 a lot more, I don't think the show lost anything in season 6.

Just my 2 cents. I was actually considering making a thread about people's opinions of season 6.

I liked the happy ending for Fran and Max with the babies and all, but thought the Niles and CC stuff was pushing it. Them getting together was fine, I guess. But them getting married? Pushing it. Them having a baby? Totally pushing it. I love CC and I love Niles, but that was a bit much. I was never really happening with that.

I know why they did it ...what with the show ending abruptly and all...but I was never crazy about it.

I liked the way it ended (especially Niles & C.C.)!!! Then again i wish they would hav done more like what ImKukie said:

yea that would have been pretty cool i would have loved to see cc as a mother lol that would be funny

I liked the ending, but I didn't feel like it was done. The ending was perfect for someday to plan a reunion.

I loved the ending. I saw it when it originally aired, and then I saw it again on Lifetime and I cried my eyes out lol. It ended perfectly.

I liked the finale with Fran and Max having their twins and Niles and C.C. getting married and finding out they were gonna be parents but I would have loved to have seen it go another season or two. Only because I really wanted to see Niles and C.C. attempt marriage and parenthood. That would have been so funny. Especially since their final scene was C.C. telling Niles to say out of her luggage because she doesn't like her underwear ironed and folded.

Well, I would have liked a spin-off based in California too, but I guess they just couldn't do the show anymore. They were probably running out of ideas after Max and Fran had gotten married. But then, it was just stupid to have the same actors playing a divorced couple in another sitcom. I would surely have preferred a few seasons of a spin-off to that!

Another season or two would have been nice. They could have had some very funny episodes with Niles & CiCi. Also the Nanny in California could have been like Lucy in California. It could have been hilarious.

The finish is beautiful just as it is!

ending with the 5th season would have been more fabulous (the classic "all lived happily ever after).

but the 6th I liked a lot!

so we were able to deepen Maxwell and Fran after marriage.

would be interesting to deepen the 7th season even marriage between Niles & CC and the success of Maxwell in California!

but so too was likely to exit from the original context? maybe it's better so ... it ended with the 6th season!

and then what's wrong with the pictures with your imagination what happened after the 6th?

I think it ended well. I really like the finale and watch it a lot. CC and Niles getting together is really cute and I just think that it was a great way to end it with Fran having the twins and everything.

I'm hoping People still.visit this one.

I would have loved a spin off to see how they got on in california. It would have been interesting to see them juggling twins,.Grace.getting older ,fean trying.to fit in with the ladies of Beverly hills and Max producing a TV show. They could have changed the name to life with fran or something like married to the boss or.married to the nanny.

I really want a sequel more than a reboot with a new.cast
