“The 90′s version of ‘I Love Lucy’” – Viewers For Quality Television
Fran Drescher returns to clean house in this hilarious second season of The Nanny, available for the first time on DVD. One of television’s most popular sitcoms, The Nanny took home an Emmy-Award in its second season for Best Costuming, making it the most fashionable show on television.
In season two, Fran Drescher , Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury Madeline Zima, and Renee Taylor are up to their same old tricks. Fran dresses like a man to infiltrate an exclusive all-male club; Mr. Sheffield dates a dead-ringer for Fran; Niles auditions for Maxwell’s latest play; and Brighton’s knack for cards lands him on Sylvia’s canasta team. And that’s only the beginning.
This 3-disc set includes all 26 original episodes from season two that will have you saying T.G.I.F. Thank Goodness It’s Fran.In the second season of her renowned show (1993-1999), Fran Drescher sizzles as Nanny Fine, continuing her inimitable style of witty one-liners, physical comedy, and fashion flair, which unequivocally establishes The Nanny as one of the freshest and funniest sitcoms of the ’90s. From the uproarious season opener, “Fran Lite”–where Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) dates a carbon copy of Fran–the 26 episodes in this three-disc set are breezy and brilliant. As the season unfolds, Fran is mistaken for a nurse, arrested for kidnapping a baby, and cast in a Broadway production. Sparks of affection continue to fly between Miss Fine and Mr. Sheffield (don’t miss “A Kiss is Just a Kiss”), while the razor-sharp repartee of C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) and Niles (Daniel Davis) further fuels the hilarity. Guest stars include Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Sally Jesse Raphael, Erik Estrada, Shari Lewis and Lambchop, and Billy Ray Cyrus. Season One’s supporting cast returns en masse, with more stage time given to Renée Taylor (as Sylvia Fine) and Ann Morgan Guilbert (as Yetta). Yet it is Drescher who is larger-than-life, stealing every show in a manner reminiscent of Lucille Ball, while peppering the plot with liberal doses of ribald, often risqué humor. Bonus material omitted. (Ages 12 and older) –Lynn Gibson

Soveryunlucky took my money and never sent the product. I contacted them twice but received no reply. I am now trying to get my money back from Amazon. I guess this is buyer beware. Wish me luck.

The “Nanny” is one of my all time favorite sitcoms. I was tiring of trying to be available at the different times when it airs on TV. There’s nothing like having your own copy of the whole season. Even though I know all the storylines, I still laugh every time I see it. I can’t wait for season 3 to become available.

Like the other review, I kept on repeating the first season, it keeps me company with laughter… could you ask for more??? the best way to destress myself.
A note to Sony though…. could you release the 3rd season soon??? pleeeaaaseeee. How come it takes them a year to come up with the 2nd season? plus with no extras:((
Again, please release the 3rd season… Plus does anybody know about the reunion of Fran and Mr. Sheffield??? i read about it online:) they are the best!!!

I am soooooo excited the second season of The Nanny has finally arrived!!!!! I marked this on my calendar the day I heard it was coming out… I love this show, I’m sure season 2 will be as much a crack up as season 1. If you have not watched this show, do it now. It’s great to watch with your kids. I watch triplets now and they are nine. They have 3 older brothers and sister and I watched them also. All 6 kids adore the show and all have watched it with me..I just can’t say enough about The Nanny and Fran Drescher!!!! I also love her new show, Living with Fran!!! Anyway I rate this dvd set with a 5 star rating and haven’t even purchased it yet!!!! Hurrrrrrrry with the remaining seasons, with Fran you gotta have ‘em all! Hhhheeeeeeeehhhhh!!(nasally, of course):-)
