The Nanny — Season 2
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
About this season
In the second season, Nanny Fine continues her inimitable style of witty one-liners, physical comedy, and fashion flair. 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, while the razor-sharp repartee of C.C. Babcock and Niles further fuels the hilarity.
