Fave Yetta Moments? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think just about everybody loves Yetta, so I thought it would generate some good discussion if we all posted our fave Yetta moments/quotes. Here's one from one of my all-time favorite episodes, "The Whine Cellar" (It was just on this morning hehe!)

Maggie:It's your daughter's 50th birthday.
Yetta:50?! She's got braseirres older than that! If she's 50, then I'm......What do you know? She's 50!

(Fran catches Yetta in bed with her boyfriend)
Fran:Oh my God, Yetta!!
Yetta:What a coincidence, Sol said the same thing not 10 minutes ago!

There are a billion more that I love, but that's all I can come up with for now.

Rhiannon · 03-13-2004, 01:48 PM

All of them! It's so funny how Yetta has a fannie pack everywhere she goes.

Well we all know Yetta is played by Ann D. Guilbert, who also played Millie Helper on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
I like when Yetta had the "Millie Moment" when she was talking to herself in the mirror as Millie. I beleive it was the Nanny show playing tribute to the Dick Van Dyke show, but I am not sure.

By the way i am a newbie in this forum, you can call me Ace.

Welcome, Ace! Always nice to see new faces around here!

I'm a huge "Dick Van Dyke" fan, and "The Nanny" did indeed pay tribute to the show several times over the years. In the moment you mention, Yetta explained that she'd had a dream in which Max would come home from work, trip over the ottoman and kiss a perky brunette at the door. After Sylvia informed her that that was the opening of DVD, Yetta insisted that it happened at the Sheffields, and she grabbed Brighton and said, "See, here's Richie!"

That's one of my fave scenes!

Oh Yes now I remember. That was so classic and clever.
This is one show that SHOULD have gotten the NEW CLassic award from TV Land.

I was watching one Nanny last night, i think they played it 3 times this year already. The one in which Brighton plays on yettas canasta team.

Yetta: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Fran: That we should replace Gret with "B"
Yetta: No That I shouldn't eat stuffed cabbage this close to a gas stove.

I love the one in Fran Lite when Fran, Sylvia and Yetta came I think from the theater and they are talking about something(don't really remember) and Sylvia asks why nobody eat the fruits and Fran said "Because they're wax!" and Yetta said "Even the grapes?" hahaha loved that one!

That's not "Fran Lite." I'm pretty sure it's "Everybody Needs a Bubbe." I know I'm nitpicking, but I just thought I"d point that out. I probably need a life, LOL.

Two fo my favorites:

"You're just jealous because I'm gonna be a millionaire . And you better be nice to me because I got a very long memory! [To Fran] Waitress, can I get a cup of decaf?"

And:

The other time is from the epsiode, "Sara's Parents" when Fran is strying to convince "bert and Ernie" that she's a good mother to the kids and wants nothing more to provide them with a loving but "most of all stable environment" . [Cue Yetta behind the glass doors in the back end of the living room] :
"What time do you open??"

I dunno why, but this moment just popped into my head from "Yetta's Lettas." (While Yetta and Andrew Lloyd-Webber are in Paris) "This is very nice, Mr. Lloyd-Webber, but you know, we could've just gone to Epcot and seen all of Europe.

I'm so glad I started this thread.

NostalgiaAce777 · 03-31-2004, 06:15 PM

I liked it when Yetta started "seeing" Sammy and Fran says to her he's black, and yetta replies "HE'S BLACK

!!!" That was priceless.

NostalgiaAce777 · 04-09-2004, 03:05 PM

I was watching the episode with Whoopi the other day, where Whoopi was a wedding photographer for dogs, Yetta was drinking milk and eating what she thought was a cookie, she says
this cookie has a strange taste to it.

THOSE ARE LIVER SNAPS!!!

Yetta; I am eating liver snaps and a glass of milk?, That's just not Kosher!!!

Ray Charles was cracking up. Yetta's facial expression was priceless.

Kristen · 04-18-2004, 12:19 AM

I just finished watching "The Engagement" (One of my faves, BTW!), and I heard this:

Sylvia:Ma, Mr. Sheffield is finally gonna pop the question!
Yetta:Oh, I hope you said no. It'll kill Frannie!

Fran=Lucy · 04-19-2004, 12:21 AM

Hahahaha! Yeah, I loved that!

OKCRay · 08-22-2004, 03:44 AM

I loved the number she did in the closing tag of a final season episode. The family had just attended one of Max Sheffield's productions and were getting ready to leave for the evening when Yetta hung around backstage for a moment (to retrieve her purse, or something) and did a wickedly funny solo dance (most likely performed by a stand-in double in full Yetta regalia), and at one point she bends to look between her legs and waves! This was probably my favorite among many classic Yetta moments.
