Days of our Lives alum and ‘The Nanny’ star Charles Shaughnessy joins ‘General Hospital’
With ’90s fashion making a comeback, fashion lovers need to watch ‘The Nanny.’
The Nanny is a television sitcom that not only served as the vehicle for Fran Drescher’s rise to fame but provided inspiration for millions of other TV shows that followed. The series effortlessly blended slapstick comedy, sharp cultural references, and hilarious, memorable characters, in a way that many other sitcoms have tried to emulate, but very few have successfully managed to replicate. These days, The Nanny is still considered to be essential viewing, with many fans as well as magazine editors and stylists nodding to the way that the show’s fashion has managed to remain not only relevant but cutting-edge.
When did ‘The Nanny’ run on television?
The Nanny premiered on television in 1993. Starring Drescher as Fran Fine, a fashion-loving, middle-class woman from New York who becomes the nanny for three children in an upper-class, high society family, The Nanny made waves right away. Fans loved Drescher’s comedic timing and universal appeal, and many praised the clever situational comedy — much of which was based on Drescher’s own life and experiences growing up in Queens, New York.‘The Nanny’ was considered to be a fashion-forward series
The Nanny went off the air in 1999, but the series remains popular to this day — not least because of the way that the character of Fran Fine perfectly represents the fashion culture of the ’90s. According to Vogue, Fran’s clothes “breathed fresh air into the (Sheffield) household—and were right on trend with the early ’90s fascination with the mod ’60s.”‘The Nanny’ was considered to be a fashion-forward series
