Casting him as Morty was a bit odd. I liked the episodes where they nearly broke up but I couldn't quite picture him in that role.

I remember that one in the last season about Yetta's letters, and the cute guy she hooked up with when she first sailed to America. The family was like, we know you didn't sleep with anyone before Grandpa, and she just said...yeah.

I can never hear "I'm Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" without thinking of CC and Fran in the elevator. The best part is when CC trails off.

He was stunt casting that worked, it was a lot of fun. I think he sang "My Yiddish Mama" to her. I also remember that episode at the peak of "let's get any guest star we can to fill out this season" when Coolio played his nephew, very nerdy. They needed a RAPPER, but he was a prized GIFT WRAPPER. So they had to teach him how to rap. Complete with Daniel Davis doing hip-hop...

Whoa, it's actually closer to 20 years, but whatevs. I hope this one works out for her. I didnt think Living with Fran was that bad, but FD deserved better!

Anyway, I love The Nanny! The first time I ever watched it was when the series finale originally aired...was sorta pissed that I only got into it once it was canceled! But I've caught reruns on and off over the years.

I came across this the other day and LMAO'd:

The over-the-top explosion at the end is just hilarious.

I *love* The Nanny! It runs a close second to Roseane as my all-time favorite sitcom. I never watched it when it originally aired (and would do the standard "her voice is annoying" complaint when her name was mentione, but I always thought she was funny in interviews) and then in the summer of 2004 I somehow for some reason started watching the reruns on Lifetime and fell in love with it!

I still LOL when Sylvia makes food jokes. Sylvia cracks me up! I think the transition from Nanny to love interest to wife was just right, especially considering the kids weren't getting any younger and a "nanny" was becoming unncessasary. I also think it made sense for the bickering Niles and CC to admit their attraction/love in the end. Especially Niles. You just knew he secretly had an affection for her.

Just like the critics said, Fran Drescher was definitely the Lucille Ball of the 90's with all her facial expressions and zany shenanegins. I can't wait for her new talk show next year!

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
