Oh! I was like, "Really? I don't remember that", but yes, as soon as I saw the still frame above, I knew right away which one it was. In a way it's cool, but in a way it's a letdown because no one ever got stuck in a freezer in Peekskill.

Oh, yeah. The still frame gives away the episode: it's that one!

Yeah, Fran got many of the details wrong. It wasn't a freezer; it was a closet. And it wasn't Blair, Tootie, and Natalie; it was Ross, Phoebe, and Susan.

I used to love watching the NANNY: FRAN was so hilarious as the crazy extravagant nanny, and she and the upper class father of 3 single gentleman made a great couple! (he was handsome too!)
I also liked, how the English butler ended up with the stock up blonde woman, whose love interest used to be the main character father of 3! (cannot remember his name)

By the way: was FRAN not from the Bronx by any chance?

Nah, Fran was from Flushing, in Queens. Remember the theme song? Only about two miles from the Bronx, but a very different neighborhood.

Yes, The Nanny was hilarious. I've been watching some episodes recently.

CC (the stuck up woman) and Niles (the butler) did eventually hook up, after their mutual loathing gave way to passion.

Isn't that weird when 2 people start out by hating each other, to finally fall in love? (this i what soap operas are made of lol!)

PS: i know this has nothing to do with it, but i feel/hope that in COBRA KAI (still totally hooked!) Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Larusso end up besties, instead of the rivals/enemies they are right now lol!

Anyone on this site at all watching COBRA KAI, by any chance?

Who can forget where Fran lives? *Cue theme music* She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens til her boyfriend kicked her out on one of those crushing scenes!

Indeed! Of course, I don't know the first thing about parts of London (I visited it in 2001), so wouldn't expect a British gal to know Queens from the Bronx, or <insert jewish dessert here> from <insert second jewish dessert here>!

Did you know the show was radically changed in Italy?

Fran is Francesca, she's Italian and Sylvia, her mother, has become Assunta, her aunt.

I know, it's confusing

Oh wow! Is there an Italian version of the show, or is it the American show with those changes in the voice dubbing??

Wait FOL FAN ITA: are you saying all the NANNY casts were Italians (instead of Americans) on the show in the Italian TV?

Fran Drescher's parents also appeared on the Nannie. Both are still alive and have been married since 1953.
