You’ll often hear that The Nanny suffers a huge decline in quality when it pairs its leads. I disagree. Yes, the later years are bad — but not because its leads are paired. I think these later years are bad because their stories aren’t about the characters or the premise, and to that point, I believe the series takes its biggest hit here in Four, following a cliffhanger where Mr. Sheffield confessed his love to Fran and it looked as if the two would finally romance, validating the past few years’ all-consuming focus. For after teasing this change, the series actually proves unwilling to evolve its status quo, and so despite having no good excuse to keep these two lovebirds apart, Four refuses to follow the plot’s natural course.
